摘要： Embodiments of the invention enable a storage cache, comprising flash memory devices, to have direct block access to the flash such that the physical block addresses are presented to the storage system's cache layer, which thereby controls the storage cache data stream. An aspect of the invention includes a caching storage system. The caching storage system comprises a plurality of flash memory units organized in an array configuration. Each of the plurality of flash memory units includes at least one flash memory device and a flash unit controller. Each flash unit controller provides the caching storage system with direct physical block access to its corresponding at least one flash memory device. The caching storage system further comprises a storage cache controller. The storage cache controller selects physical block address locations (within a flash memory device) to be erased where data are to be written, issues erase commands to a flash unit controller corresponding to the selected physical block address locations, and issues page write operations to a set of erase blocks.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention relate to erasure correcting codes for storage arrays. An aspect of the invention includes receiving a read stripe from a plurality of storage devices. The read stripe includes a block of pages arranged in rows and columns, with each column corresponding to one of the storage devices. The pages include data pages and parity pages, with the number of parity pages at least one more than the number of rows and not a multiple of the number of rows. The method further includes reconstructing at least one erased page in response to determining that the read stripe includes the at least one erased page and that the number of erased pages is less than or equal to the number of parity pages. The reconstructing is responsive to a multiple erasure correcting code and to the block of pages. The reconstructing results in a recovered read stripe.

摘要： A system and method for interfacing a non-SCSI device to a computer network for communicating with a SCSI device attached to the computer network is disclosed. An interface receives a SCSI-based communication message from the network that is intended for the non-SCSI device. The SCSI-based communication can be formatted for transport over, for example, a TCP/IP transport stream and includes, for example, a command descriptor block and accompanying data. A translator device converts a first SCSI-based communication message to a corresponding first non-SCSI communication message that is recognizable by the non-SCSI device. A translator device also receives a second non-SCSI communication message from the non-SCSI device and converts the second non-SCSI communication message into a corresponding second SCSI-based communication message. The interface device, responsive to the second SCSI-based communication message, sends the second SCSI based communication message to the network.

摘要： A system that securely registers components in a first system is presented. During operation, the first system receives a request from an intermediary system to obtain configuration information related to the components in the first system. In response to the request, the first system: (1) encrypts configuration information for the first system using a first encryption key; (2) encrypts the first encryption key using a second encryption key; and (3) sends the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted first encryption key to the intermediary system so that the intermediary system can forward the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted first encryption key to the second system, whereby the encrypted configuration information is cryptographically opaque to the intermediary system. Next, the second system uses the configuration information to register the components in the first system.
