  • Patent number: 8015353
    Abstract: A method of configuring a virtual disk for an information handling system is disclosed. The method comprises embedding a data structure onto a data storage medium prior to installing the medium into an information handling system. The data structure makes up a default policy for configuration of a RAID container using the data storage medium and is recognizable by a controller. When the controller identifies the data structure the controller will read the data structure and configure the medium having the structure into a virtual disk such as a RAID container.

  • Publication number: 20080005311
    Abstract: A SAS target device, e.g., SAS disk, may instantiate an asynchronous event notification (AEN) transaction while still conforming to SAS protocol standards. When the SAS target has an event queued up for notification to a host controller but there is no host initiated communication going on for the SAS target to attach the notification, then the SAS target may start an AEN timer. If the AEN timer expires and the AEN is still pending, then a request is made to the SAS target to notify the host controller using a SAS PHY level out of band (OOB) mechanism. The OOB message may be sent via a new OOB signal or by sending a COMINIT signal from the SAS disk PHY, requiring a link reset and then using a bit in an IDENTIFY frame for the pending AEN. Receiving and issuing an AEN may then be communicated during PHY initialization.

  • Publication number: 20070174657
    Abstract: A storage architecture and method for managing the operation of a network in a RAID environment is provided in which a storage management agent is included in each server node of the network. The storage management agents monitor the status of the drives of the storage array in shared storage. If a storage management agent identifies a failed drive, the storage management agent monitors the rebuild of the degraded RAID volume. During the rebuild of a degraded RAID volume, the storage management agent determines if a server node has failed, and, if required, initiates the transfer of the RAID rebuild tasks of the failed server node to another server node.

  • Publication number: 20070168609
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for migrating configuration information for a storage array between storage controllers. At a shutdown, a first storage controller saves its configuration information to a storage location in or associated with the storage enclosure processor of the storage array. When a second controller is coupled to the storage array, the second storage controller attempts to recognize the configuration of the storage array. If the second storage controller is not able to recognize the configuration of the storage array, the second storage controller accesses the storage location for the storage location.

  • Publication number: 20070162695
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for configuring a storage drive. A Serial ATA drive is configured to include a self-describing RAID header. The self-describing RAID header identifies the storage drive as comprising a single volume of a RAID Level 0 array. Within the header, the size of the storage volume is identified and this size is used to limit the addressable space of the user content portion of the Serial ATA storage drive, thereby preventing the content of the standalone user content of the Serial ATA storage drive, which is not RAID complaint, from overlapping with the content of the self-describing RAID header.

  • Publication number: 20060041782
    Abstract: A system and method for recovering from a drive failure in a storage array is disclosed in which a spare drive array is provided in the event of a failure in one of the active drives of the storage array. The spare drive array is comprised of multiple drives that are comprised in a RAID 0 configuration to reduce the time required to rebuild the content of the failed drive on the spare drive.

  • Publication number: 20050210318
    Abstract: A system and method for rebuilding a drive is disclosed in which the write cache of the drive is enabled and a separate record is kept of the commands transmitted to the drive. On a periodic basis, the drive flushes the data in its cache, and the history of commands is cleared. When the drive is successfully rebuilt, the cache of the drive is disabled.

  • Publication number: 20050188280
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a storage device that performs automatic media repair so that, after a media error is encountered, subsequent write operations are completed on a known good sector while read operations from the repaired sector are induced to fail so that the user never receives corrupted or indeterminate data. Recovery of the error is accomplished by restoring the damaged file, without resorting to the restoration of the complete media volume. Consequently, recovery from media error is accomplished in less time, and affects only the working processes that use the affected file, rather than the system as a whole.
