摘要： A technique enhances a write data path within a storage operating system executing on a storage system. As used herein, the write data path defines program logic used by a file system of the storage operating system to process write requests directed to data served by the file system. The technique enhances the write data path of the storage system by providing a “zero copy” write data path embodied as a function of the storage operating system that eliminates a copy operation for a write request received at the storage system. The eliminated operation is a data copy operation from a list of input buffers to buffers used by the file system.

摘要： A system and method enabling transparent access to blocks, such as virtual disks, stored on a storage system using a file-based protocol. The system and method traps in-coming file-based protocol open commands to check for a predetermined modification to the file name. If the system and method detects the predetermined modification, then the virtual disk associated with the file name is exported to the client issuing the open command and the client receives a response from the storage system. The client, in response to receiving the response to the open command, creates a new device instantiation for reading and writing raw data to the virtual disk.

摘要： The data path in a network storage system is streamlined by sharing a memory among multiple functional modules (e.g., N-module and D-module) of a storage server that facilitates symmetric access to data from multiple clients. The shared memory stores data from clients or storage devices to facilitate communication of data between clients and storage devices and/or between functional modules, and reduces redundant copies necessary for data transport. It reduces latency and improves throughput efficiencies by minimizing data copies and using hardware assisted mechanisms such as DMA directly from host bus adapters over an interconnection, e.g. switched PCI-e “network”. This scheme is well suited for a “SAN array” architecture, but also can be applied to NAS protocols or in a unified protocol-agnostic storage system. The storage system can provide a range of configurations ranging from dual module to many modules with redundant switched fabrics for I/O, CPU, memory, and disk connectivity.
摘要翻译： 通过在存储服务器的多个功能模块（例如，N模块和D模块）中共享存储器来简化网络存储系统中的数据路径，该存储服务器有助于对来自多个客户端的数据的对称访问。 共享存储器存储来自客户端或存储设备的数据，以促进客户端和存储设备之间和/或功能模块之间的数据通信，并减少数据传输所需的冗余副本。 它通过最小化数据副本并使用诸如DMA之类的硬件辅助机制直接从主机总线适配器（例如，互连）来减少延迟并提高吞吐量效率。 切换PCI-e“网络”。 该方案非常适用于“SAN阵列”架构，也可应用于NAS协议或统一协议无关的存储系统。 存储系统可以提供从双模块到多模块的一系列配置，具有用于I / O，CPU，内存和磁盘连接的冗余交换架构。

摘要： A system and method efficiently generates a set of parallel persistent consistency point images (PCPIs) of volumes configured as a SVS and served by a plurality of nodes interconnected as a cluster. A volume operations daemon (VOD) executing on a node of the cluster is configured to manage generation of the volume PCPIs. Notably, the set of PCPIs is generated substantially in parallel to thereby obtain a consistent and accurate point in time reference of the entire SVS.

摘要： A network storage system includes “raw” flash memory, and storage of data in that flash memory is controlled by an external, log structured, write out-of-place data layout engine of a storage server. By avoiding a separate, onboard data layout engine on the flash devices, the latency associated with operation of such a data layout engine is also avoided. The flash memory can be used as the main persistent storage of a storage server and/or as buffer cache of a storage server, or both. The flash memory can be accessible to multiple storage servers in a storage cluster. To reduce variability in read latency, each flash device provides its status (“busy” or not) to the data layout engine. The data layout engine uses RAID data reconstruction to avoid having to read from a busy flash device.

摘要： Described herein are method and apparatus for storing data to a low-latency random read memory (LLRRM) device using non-aligned data striping, the LLRRM device being implemented on a storage system. The LLRRM device may comprise a bank comprising a plurality of memory chips, each chip being simultaneously accessible for storing data on a plurality of erase-units (EUs). A storage operating system may maintain, for each chip, a reserve data structure listing reserve EUs and a remapping data structure for tracking remappings between defective EUs to reserve EUs in the chip. A defective EU in a chip may be mapped to a reserve EU from the reserve data structure. Upon receiving a data block to be stored to the LLRRM device at the defective EU, the storage operating system may stripe the received data block across a plurality of chips in a non-aligned manner using the remapped reserve EU.
