    摘要: One or more layers of constrained layer damping material is strategically placed within a data storage library having one or more sources of rotational vibration energy. Data storage devices, such as disk drives, are isolated from each other and from a drive tray by a first layer of constrained layer damping material. The drive trays are isolated from drive enclosure bays by a second layer of constrained layer damping material. A third layer of constrained layer damping material isolates each drive enclosure bay from the housing of the data storage library. The net effect is a significant reduction of the amount of rotational vibration energy arriving at each data storage device from other system components, such as a blower module. Additionally, the amount of rotational vibration energy arriving at each data storage device from other data storage devices is also reduced. By mounting the data storage devices to the drive trays in a single plane, the rigidity and mass of the drive tray is increased, reducing its susceptibility to external rotational vibration energy.

    摘要: An active noise canceller outputs a noise pattern learning request signal to a hard disk drive causing the hard disk drive to perform a predetermined operation, receives noise at this moment through a sound-receiving unit, and stores, in a nonvolatile memory unit, a relationship between the noise and a head operation data signal output from the hard disk drive. Based on the operation data signal outputted from the hard disk drive, the active noise canceller generates a noise-canceling sound while making a reference to the above relationship stored in the nonvolatile memory unit. Therefore, the signal processing needs a low degree of response for operating the noise-canceling sound.

    摘要: A storage control and switch unit for transferring data between a host computer and first, second, third and fourth storage media. A first storage controller has an operative serial ATA connection with each of the first and second storage media and an inoperative serial ATA connection to each of the third and fourth storage media. A second storage controller has an operative serial ATA connection with each of the third and fourth storage media and an inoperative serial ATA connection to each of the first and second storage media. First, second, third and fourth switches are logically interposed between the first, second, third and fourth storage media, respectively, and the first and second storage controllers to select which serial ATA connection to each storage media is operative and which is inoperative. In response to failure of one of the storage controllers, the other storage controller changes the operable switches of the one storage controller to be inoperable and changes the inoperable switches of the other storage controller to be operable. The other storage controller is granted management authority for the arrays controlled by the one storage controller before the failure.Disclosed is a storage unit provided with redundancy, an information processing apparatus including the same, and a recovery method of an information storage system. A storage unit of the present invention includes a plurality of arrays, each including at least one storage medium; point-to-point controllers, each of which manages the corresponding one of the plurality of arrays and communicates with the same, each of point-to-point controllers being connectable to all the storage medium; switching means for switching the point-to-point controllers, each managing the arrays; means for detecting a failure of each point-to-point controller; and means for driving the switching means in response to detection of the failure of each controller. The storage unit changes management states of arrays in response to the detection of a failure.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for integrating a blade RAID controller and storage. A storage blade enclosure communicates with a blade chassis. The storage blade enclosure is mounted within the blade chassis. A RAID controller disposed in the storage blade enclosure receives a command through the storage blade enclosure. In one embodiment, the command is communicated through the blade chassis from a processor blade mounted in the blade chassis. The RAID controller redundantly stores data to or retrieves data from a storage module disposed in the storage blade enclosure in response to the command using a RAID redundancy methodology.

    摘要: A storage system in which a set of a data block and a redundancy block is stored has a plurality of control sections which respectively control a plurality of storages, a host connection unit which selects the control section controlling one of the storage in which a write data block which is a write-object block is to be stored, and a transfer unit which transfers the write data block to the control section. Each of the plurality of control sections includes a data block write section which writes the write data block transferred by a transfer unit to the storage in which the write data block is to be stored, a redundancy block update request section which requests the control section controlling the storage in which a redundancy block is to be stored to update the redundancy block, and a redundancy block update section which updates the redundancy block stored in the storage controlled by the control section when another of the control sections makes a request for updating the redundancy block.

    摘要: A disk enclosure is provided with a plurality of HDDs, an enclosure manager that outputs control and management information of the disk enclosure, and S/P converters that are provided for the respective HDDs. Each S/P converter converts a control and management command outputted from the HDD in the form of a parallel signal into a serial signal and outputs it to the enclosure manager. Further, each S/P converter converts control and management information outputted from the enclosure manager into a parallel signal. With this configuration, merely providing a serial port in the enclosure manager and connecting the S/P converters to the enclosure manager by a serial bus can make the SES function of the ESI scheme effective for the HDDs.
