  • Storage system including capability to move a virtual storage device group without moving data
    Patent number: 8006056
    Abstract: A storage system comprises a plurality of storage arrays, a plurality of controllers selectively coupled to ones of the storage arrays, a network fabric coupling the plurality of controllers, and a processor. The processor is capable of moving control and/or data transfer functions related to a group of elements in the plurality of storage arrays between controllers or storage arrays by transferred management information rather than data.

  • Methods and systems for prioritizing input/outputs to storage devices
    Publication number: 20080162735
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for prioritizing input/outputs (I/Os) to storage devices. One embodiment includes a method that receives an input/output (I/O) command having a group number field and a priority number field at a target device. The method then generates a new priority value based on the group number field. The I/O command is processed at the target device with the new priority value.

  • Storage system with capability to allocate virtual storage segments among a plurality of controllers
    Patent number: 7305520
    Abstract: A storage system comprises a plurality of storage arrays configurable into a plurality of storage device groups, a plurality of controllers selectively coupled to ones of the storage arrays, a network fabric arranged as a linkage of multiple sets of associated controllers and storage devices, and a processor. The processor is capable of associating the plurality of storage device groups among controllers based on a distribution of performance demand according to controller processor utilization of the individual storage device groups and bandwidth utilization pro-ratable among storage device groups within a set.
