Detection Of Silent Data Corruption In A Storage System
US Patent:
6629273, Sep 30, 2003
Filed:
Jan 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/490793
Inventors:
Brian L. Patterson - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G11C 2900
US Classification:
714718, 714 54
Abstract:
A storage system is described that includes a controller and a disk array. The controller operates to coordinate data transfers between the disk array and an external host computer in response to I/O commands received from the host computer. The controller further operates to execute a background program each time certain conditions are met. Under the direction of the background program, the controller operates to identify corrupt but readable data blocks based upon the value of the data block and the value of an error code stored for the data block.
Data Corruption Testing Technique For A Hierarchical Storage System
US Patent:
6609219, Aug 19, 2003
Filed:
Jan 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/490792
Inventors:
Brian L. Patterson - Boise ID
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 1100
US Classification:
714 42, 714 33, 702179
Abstract:
A storage system is described that includes a controller and a disk array. The disk array includes at least a first and a second storage area. The first storage area is associated with a first mean time to failure (MTTF) and the second storage area is associated with a second MTTF. The controller operates to test the first storage area at a first frequency and the second storage area at a second frequency. The first frequency and the second frequency are each based upon the first and second MTTF so as to optimize the overall reliability of the storage system.
Distributing Workload Evenly Across Storage Media In A Storage Array
US Patent:
6912635, Jun 28, 2005
Filed:
May 8, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/140968
Inventors:
Brian Patterson - Boise ID, US

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F012/00
US Classification:
711165, 711111, 711112, 711114, 711156
Abstract:
A system and methods employ a redistribution module to predict whether there is data stored in an arrayed storage device that is likely to be data that will be highly accessed in the future. The redistribution module locates high-access data on one or more storage components within the array and redistributes it evenly across all storage components in the array so that no single storage component contains a disproportionate amount of the high-access data. Redistributing high-access data evenly across all storage components (e. g. , disks) in a storage array helps prevent I/O (input/output) bottlenecking at any single storage component in the array. I/Os are serviced in a more parallel manner which increases the overall performance of the storage array.
Managing Resources In Cluster Storage Systems
US Patent:
2008027, Oct 30, 2008
Filed:
Apr 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/796679

International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711114
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for managing resources in a storage system. One embodiment includes a method that discovers storage resources for arrays in a cluster storage system. A table defines how the resources are divided among the arrays and is provided to the arrays so each array can identify which resources to manage.
Method And Apparatus For Data Version Checking
US Patent:
2004025, Dec 9, 2004
Filed:
Jun 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/457895
Inventors:
Rodger Daniels - Boise ID, US
Brian Patterson - Boise ID, US
Aaron Lindemann - Boise ID, US
Brian Patterson - Boise ID, US
Aaron Lindemann - Boise ID, US
International Classification:
G06F012/00
US Classification:
711/156000, 711/114000
Abstract:
A block of data is written to a location on a first storage system. Version checking data associated with the block of data and having a predetermined initial value is also written to the first storage system. The version checking data is then written to a second storage system. Upon subsequent writing of data to the same location on the first storage system, the version checking data on the first storage system is incremented and the incremented version checking data is stored on the second storage system. When reading the group of data from the first storage system, the data is validated by comparing the version checking data on the first storage system with version checking data on the second storage system.
Transaction-Based Storage Operations
US Patent:
2005016, Jul 28, 2005
Filed:
Jan 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/767356
Inventors:
Brian Patterson - Boise ID, US
Brian Bearden - Boise ID, US
Brian Bearden - Boise ID, US
International Classification:
G06F017/60
US Classification:
705001000
Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing transaction-based storage operations are disclosed. In one implementation a processor in a storage network receives a service request, executes the service request, and updates an account to reflect execution of the service request. In another implementation the processor may generate a token request for a service token and transmit the token request to a server communicatively connected to the storage network. The server validates the token request and transmits to the processor a response to the token request. The processor may invoke a service call if the response to the token request comprises at least one service token.

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711163, 711112, 710260
Abstract:
A storage device is configured with one or more processes that receive, process, and pass on jobs from a source. The number of jobs received by a process is compared with the number of jobs completed and/or passed on by the process. If the number of jobs that are received is disproportionate to the number of jobs completed and/or passed on by the process, a hang may exist and a corrective action, such as resetting, may be performed along with a request for all or some of the jobs to be resent.
Method And Apparatus For Selecting Among Multiple Data Reconstruction Techniques
US Patent:

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711114, 714 6, 714 7
Abstract:
Multiple storage devices are monitored to detect failure of a storage device. Upon detection of a storage device failure, a determination is made regarding whether a first data reconstruction technique is available. If a first data reconstruction technique is available, the data is reconstructed from the failed storage device using the first data reconstruction technique. If the first data construction technique is not available, the data is reconstructed from the failed storage device using a second data reconstruction technique.
