    摘要: An access control device can be communicationally coupled to a storage device and can control access thereto. The access control device can comprise information, such as identities of authorized entities, to enable the access control device to independently determine whether to provide access to an associated storage device. Alternatively, the access control device can comprise information to establish a secure connection to an authorization computing device and the access control device can implement the decisions of the authorization computing device. The access control device can control access by instructing a storage device to execute specific firmware instructions to prevent meaningful responses to data storage related requests. The access control device can also comprise storage-related cryptographic information utilized by the storage device to encrypt and decrypt data. In such a case, the access control device can control access by not releasing the storage-related cryptographic information to the storage device.

    摘要: A storage system can comprise storage devices having storage media with differing characteristics. An eviction handler can receive information regarding the state of storage media or of data stored thereon, as well as information regarding application or operating system usage, or expected usage, of data, or information regarding policy, including user-selected policy. Such information can be utilized by the eviction handler to optimize the use of the storage system by evicting data from storage media, including evicting data in order to perform maintenance on, or replace, such storage media, and evicting data to make room for other data, such as data copied to such storage media to facilitate pre-fetching or implement policy. The eviction handler can be implemented by any one or more of processes executing on a computing device, control circuitry of any one or more of the storage devices, or intermediate storage-centric devices.

    摘要: The method may query the disk drive for a size where size may be a total number of logical blocks on the disk drive. The drive may receive a size response where the size includes a total number of logical blocks on the disk drive. The number of usage blocks necessary to represent the number of logical blocks on the disk drive may then be determined and usage data may be stored in the usage blocks. The data may be stored in the buffer of the disk drive. The data may also be stored in the DDF of a RAID drive. The data may be used to permit incremental backups of disk drives by backing up only the blocks that are indicated as having been changed. In addition, information about the access to the drive may be collected and stored for later analysis.

    摘要: Storage devices can provide for hardware encryption and decryption of data stored by them. The hardware cryptographic functions can be applied with reference to cryptographic information of a communicationally, and physically, separable key device. Disconnection of the separable key device can render encrypted data inaccessible. Destruction of the separable key device can result in virtual destruction of the encrypted data. The cryptographic information on the separable key device can be provided by a storage device manufacturer, or by a provisioning computing device. The separable key device can be directly communicationally coupled to a provisioning computing device or it can establish a secure communication tunnel with the provisioning device through a computing device to which the separable key device is communicationally coupled. Cryptographic information can be provided by, and deleted from, the provisioning computing device prior to completion of the booting of that device.

    摘要: A blade server module in an information handling system may have secure environment and authorized removal modes in non-volatile memory. If the secure environment mode is set in the blade server module, then the authorized removal mode is read to determine whether it also is set. If both of these modes are set then authentication keys of the inserted blade server module and blade server chassis are verified as being properly associated. If the authorized removal mode is not set when the blade server module is inserted into a server chassis or authentication keys are not verified as being properly associated then the blade server module power-up sequence is disabled. The authentication keys may be administrator/user defined. The secure environment and authorized removal modes may be set and cleared by the administrator/user.

    摘要: A multiple use core logic chipset is provided in a computer system that may be configured either as a bridge between an accelerated graphics port (“AGP”) bus and host and memory buses, or as a bridge between a system area network interface and the host bus and the system memory bus. The function of the multiple use chipset is determined at the time of manufacture of the computer system, or in the field whether an AGP bus bridge or a system area network interface is to be implemented. Selection of the type of bus bridge (AGP or system area network interface) in the multiple use core logic chipset may be implemented by a hardware signal input, or by software during computer system configuration or power on self test (“POST”). Software configuration may also be determined upon detection of either an AGP device or a system area network interface connected to the core logic chipset.

    摘要: A method of detecting and correcting errors in a memory subsystem of a computer is described. The method includes beginning a write operation of N data bits to a memory, generating M check bits from the N data bits, writing the N data bits and the M check bits to the memory, reading the N data bits and M check bits from the memory, generating X syndrome bits from the N data bits and the M check bits, and using the X syndrome bits to detect and correct errors. Preferably, the M check bits are generated also from A address bits corresponding to the location in memory to which the N data bits and M check bits are to be written.

    摘要: Systems, apparatus, and computer-implemented methods are provided for the hybridization of cache memory utilizing both magnetic and solid-state memory media. A solid-state cache controller apparatus can be coupled to a host computing system to maximize efficiency of the system in a manner that is transparent to the high-level applications using the system. The apparatus includes an associative memory component and a solid-state cache control component. Solid-state memory is configured to store data blocks of host read operations. If a host-read operation is requested, the controller communicates with a solid-state cache memory controller to determine whether a tag array data structure indicates a cached copy of the requested data block is available in solid-state memory.
