Abstract: A storage system controller provides operating data associated with multiple storage devices to one or more models to generate a predicted operating condition for at least one storage device. The storage system controller evaluates whether execution of a workload by the storage devices results in the predicted operating condition. In response to determining that execution of the workload results in the predicted operating condition, the storage system controller adjusts execution of the workload across the storage devices to prevent occurrence of the predicted operating condition.

A file is generated at the NAS volume using the metadata, wherein the file is associated with the plurality of data blocks of the SAN volume storing the data.

Abstract: An indication that a die of the solid-state storage device has been marked as likely to fail based on a number of failed input/output (I/O) operations performed on the die satisfying a threshold may be received by a storage system controller from a solid-state storage device. In response to receiving the indication, one or more remedial actions associated with the die of the solid-state storage device may be performed.

Abstract: Sharing encryption information amongst storage devices in a storage system, including: detecting that one or more source storage devices has been designated for removal from the storage system; and responsive to detecting that the source storage devices have been designated for removal from the storage system: encrypting a device key for each remaining storage device using a master secret to generate an encrypted device key for each remaining storage device; generating, for each write group, a first plurality of shares from the master secret; creating, from each share of the first plurality of shares, a second plurality of shares equal to a minimum number of the remaining storage devices required from each write group for a quorum to boot the storage system; and storing, for each remaining storage device, the encrypted device key and a respective share of the second plurality of shares in the remaining storage devices.

Abstract: A system and method for performing replication using mediums. A snapshot ‘S’ is selected for replication, and the anchor medium ‘M’ of S is identified. The replica storage array ‘R’ to which M is being replicated determines a list of medium extents which are available. R sends this list to an original storage array ‘O’ and O generates a list of medium extents which need to be sent to R. Only those medium extents corresponding to M which R does not already have will be sent from O to R. Also, R can obtain medium extents from other source storage arrays during the replication process.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods of forming fibrous food products. In some aspects, a method can include mixing a composition with a solvent to form a first solution, the first solution including between about 5 wt % and about 20 wt % of the composition, the composition including a plant protein and a polysaccharide. The method further includes rotating the first solution to cause ejection of a second solution in a jet, collecting the jet of the second solution in a precipitation bath, such that a collection of fibers forms, drying the collection of fibers, and forming the collection of fibers into a fillet shape. In some embodiments, the method can further include heating or refrigerating the second solution to a temperature between about 0° C. and about 100° C. during the mixing and/or the rotating.

Abstract: A method of cache management, the method comprising: identifying, among a plurality of storage items, storage items having an access count above a first threshold to generate a set of storage items; identifying, among the set of storage items, storage items having an updated access count above a second threshold to generate a subset of storage items, wherein, for each storage item, the updated access count is dependent upon a number of accesses subsequent to generating the set of storage items; and adding the storage items of the subset of storage items to a cache.

Abstract: A request is received from an initiator application to migrate data from a plurality of blocks of a storage area network (SAN) volume resident on a storage array to a network attached storage (NAS) volume resident on the storage array. Metadata is generated for the NAS volume, the metadata to reference the plurality of data blocks of the SAN volume storing the data. A file is generated at the NAS volume using the metadata, wherein the file is associated with the plurality of data blocks of the SAN volume storing the data.

Abstract: A system and method for efficient execution of I/O operations in a storage environment including receiving, by a storage controller, an incoming I/O operation that can be serviced by a storage device while at least one pending operation is to be processed using the storage device, determining, based on an analysis by the storage controller of an operational state of a storage system that includes the storage device, whether processing the at least one pending operation is more efficient than issuing an alternative operation to the storage device, and issuing, by the storage controller, one or more instructions to the storage device.
