  • System and method for aggregating shelf IDs in a fibre channel storage loop
    Patent number: 7669045
    Abstract: A modular fiber channel information handling system includes a storage processor and multiple associated fiber channel data storage enclosures. The storage processor and the fiber channel data storage enclosures are connected by a fiber channel storage loop. The storage processor includes an identification engine operable to assign device addresses to the associated storage devices and an aggregation engine that is able to selectively aggregate the shelf IDs of data storage enclosures that have been selected to be aggregated.

  • System and method for updating firmware of a storage drive in a storage network
    Patent number: 7231493
    Abstract: A system and method for updating the firmware of storage drive in a drive array is disclosed. The method includes the steps of updating the firmware of a spare drive. The spare drive is swapped for a drive of the drive array having unupdated firmware. The content of the spare drive is built on the basis of the content of the other storage drives of the storage arrays and according to the data recovery scheme of the drive array. The firmware of the selected storage array is updated and the updated storage drive is swapped with the spare storage drive in the drive array. The content of the updated storage array is then rebuilt or restored.
