Patent number: 11520671Abstract: A host device is configured to obtain a default timeout value of the host device for the submission of an input-output (IO) operation to a storage system and to determine a first timeout value that is less than the default timeout value. The host device is further configured to submit the IO operation to the storage system along a first path using the first timeout value and to determine that the submission of the IO operation along the first path has timed out. The host device is further configured to determine a second timeout value that is greater than the first timeout value and to submit the IO operation to the storage system along a second path using the second timeout value.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Ashwin Tidke, Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj, Kurumurthy Gokam

Patent number: 11379387Abstract: A host device comprises a plurality of communication adapters and is configured to communicate with a storage system. Each communication adapter comprises a plurality of input-output (IO) submission queues each having a submission queue priority class. A multi-path input-output (MPIO) driver is configured to deliver IO operations to the storage system over the network. The MPIO driver obtains an IO operation that targets a given logical volume of the storage system and determines a process tag value associated with the obtained IO operation. A mapping between the determined process tag value and a given submission queue priority class is determined and IO submission queues are identified as having the given submission queue priority class based at least in part on the mapping. A target IO submission queue is selected from the identified IO submission queues and the IO operation is dispatched to the selected target IO submission queue.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Kurumurthy Gokam, Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj

Patent number: 11368399Abstract: An apparatus comprises a host device comprising a processor coupled to memory. The host device is configured to obtain a network congestion notification from a portion of a network that is utilized by the host device for submitting IO operations to a storage system. The network congestion notification comprises an indication that the portion of the network is experiencing network congestion. The host device is further configured to identify a first path of a plurality of paths as a path that utilizes the portion of the network and to adjust a dispatch weight of the first path based at least in part on the network congestion notification. The host device is further configured to submit an IO operation to the storage system along a second path instead of the first path based at least in part on the adjusted dispatch weight of the first path.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj, Peniel Charles, Kurumurthy Gokam

Each identified path comprises a communication adapter and a corresponding IO submission queue of that communication adapter. An IO load weight and a queue depth weight are determined for each identified path. An adaptive weight for each identified path is determined as a function of the determined IO load weight and the determined queue depth weight for that identified path and a target path is selected from the identified paths based at least in part on the determined adaptive weights.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Kurumurthy Gokam, Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj

Patent number: 11126363Abstract: An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a host device that is configured to communicate over a network with at least one storage system comprising a source logical storage volume and a target logical storage volume. Responsive to a reboot of the host device during a migration of a plurality of chunks of data from the source logical storage volume to the target logical storage volume, the host device is configured to determine, based at least in part on an entry of a copy migration journal, the entry corresponding to a given chunk of the plurality of chunks, that the migration of the given chunk was in progress prior to the reboot. Responsive to determining that the migration of the given chunk was in progress prior to the reboot, the host device is configured to resume the migration of the plurality of chunks from the given chunk.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Ashwin Tidke, Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj, Kurumurthy Gokam

Patent number: 10114567Abstract: A host computer dispatches storage I/O operations to a storage array by, in an I/O dispatch context, (i) identifying an I-T-L nexus based on a minimum-weight I-T nexus and a logical device of a storage I/O operation, (ii) dispatching the I/O on the identified I-T-L nexus, and (iii) updating a dispatch weight for the minimum-weight I-T nexus and logical device. In an I/O completion context, a completion weight is updated for an I-T nexus and logical device of a completed I/O. A background process is performed regularly for selecting the minimum-weight I-T nexus, including (a) for each I-T nexus, calculating a current weight value as a sum of difference values for all logical devices, each being the difference between the dispatch weight and the completion weight for the I-T nexus and logical device, and (b) selecting the I-T nexus having a minimum current weight value as the minimum-weight I-T nexus.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Saurabh Tripathi, Ashwin Ramkrishna Tidke, Venkatesh Doddamane Nagaraj, Amit Pundalik Anchi, Poonam Garg, Hanish Kandangattu Hariharan
