  • Patent number: 11010097
    Abstract: Methods that can offload data operations to a storage system are provided. One method includes performing, by a processor, a set of non-storage operations at a storage system for data stored in a set of storage devices on the storage system to generate a set of results, in which the storage system is separate from a client device that owns the data, and transmitting the result(s) to the client device that owns the data. Apparatus, systems, and computer program products that can include, perform, and/or implement the methods are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20200364111
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for failure-based storage rebuilding. One or more processors determine an inaccessible memory block of a source storage device. The one or more processors obtain address information of the inaccessible memory block of the source storage device. The one or more processors rebuild the inaccessible memory block of the source storage device, based on the address information. The one or more processors rebuild remaining memory blocks of the source storage device.
