    摘要： In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for accessing a physical storage-device array comprising a plurality of storage devices. The method includes (1) obtaining at least one parameter from a profile selected from two or more profiles concurrently defining two or more virtual arrays, each profile defining (i) a different virtual array associated with a corresponding set of storage devices and (ii) a parameter set of one or more parameters used for accessing the virtual array; and (2) generating an instruction, based on the at least one parameter, for accessing, or disallowing access to, information in the virtual array defined by the selected profile, wherein a parameter in each the parameter set defined by each profile indicates whether two or more storage devices in the corresponding virtual array are degraded.

    摘要： In one embodiment, a method for reading data from a storage-device array including three or more storage devices. The array has a plurality of sector levels, each sector level containing one sector on each storage device in the array at corresponding addresses across the storage devices. Each sector level includes (i) parity data stored on a first storage device and (ii) information stored on the two or more remaining storage devices. The parity data for a current sector level is generated from the information stored at the current sector level on the remaining storage devices. The method includes: (a) generating an instruction for reading (i) the parity data from the first storage device at the current sector level and (ii) the information from the remaining storage devices at the current sector level; (b) receiving an indicator indicating whether one of the remaining storage devices is a degraded storage device; (c) if the indicator does not indicate a degraded storage device, then providing as output the information read from the remaining storage devices at the current sector level; and (d) if the indicator does indicate a degraded storage device, then: (d1) reconstructing information previously stored on the degraded storage device at the current sector level based on (i) the parity data read from the first storage device at the current sector level, and (ii) the information read from each remaining non-degraded storage device at the current sector level; and (d2) providing as output (i) the information read from the one or more non-degraded storage devices at the current sector level and (ii) the reconstructed information.

    摘要： A method includes storing first and second sets of parameters in a register. Each set of parameters defines a storage transaction to store data to a computer readable medium or a retrieval transaction to retrieve data from the computer readable medium. The first storage or retrieval transaction is performed according to the first set of parameters. The second set of parameters is retrieved from the register automatically when the first storage or retrieval transaction is completed, without waiting for a further command from a control processor. The second storage or retrieval transaction is performed according to the retrieved second set of parameters. A system for performing the method and a computer readable medium containing pseudocode for generating an application specific integrated circuit that performs the method are provided.

    摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing disk seek time to improve the overall throughput by improving the scheduling of read requests. One or more requests to read data from one or more disks are scheduled by suspending one or more requests to read data from the disk for a predefined period of time. The read suspension can be initiated, for example, in response to a request to read data from the disk, such as a speculative read operation. The predefined period of time may be approximately equal, for example, to an expected duration of the read request operation, an expected seek time, a predefined recovery time or a time since a last request less a recovery time. The read suspension can be conditioned upon one or more predefined criteria, such as a disk bandwidth threshold being satisfied, a time since a last request threshold being satisfied and a condition that only a request for a different stream than a currently requested stream is suspended.
