A data processing system may include: a memory system including an error history region, the memory system suitable for storing in the error history region, error history data related to an internal error, and a host suitable for obtaining the error history data from the memory system by providing the memory system with an error history read command, performing failure analysis of the memory system on the basis of the obtained error history data, and controlling the memory system to clear at least a portion of the error history region by providing the memory system with an error history clear command, wherein the error history region is a memory region that is not able to be accessed with a logical address used by the host.

A memory system includes a memory device suitable for storing data and a controller suitable for determining an operation state of the memory device and carrying out garbage collection to the memory device in response to the operation state. The controller can ignore a first command entered from a host while performing the garbage collection.

An electronic apparatus and a hot-swappable storage device thereof are provided. The hot-swappable storage device includes a carrier, a connector, a controller, and a wireless communication interface. The carrier is configured to carry a plurality of storage components. The connector is configured to be electronically connected to a host end for performing a data transfer operation. The controller detects a connection status between the connector and the host end. The wireless communication interface decides whether to perform the data transfer operation according to the connection status.

A system includes a fabric switch including a motherboard, a baseboard management controller (BMC), a network switch configured to transport network signals, and a PCIe switch configured to transport PCIe signals; a midplane; and a plurality of device ports. Each of the plurality of device ports is configured to connect a storage device to the motherboard of the fabric switch over the midplane and carry the network signals and the PCIe signals over the midplane. The storage device is configurable in multiple modes based a protocol established over a fabric connection between the system and the storage device.

A system relates to a first communication device configured to present data to and/or receive data from a health care practitioner; a second communication device configured to present data to and/or receive data from a patient; a processor configured to determine values of one or more metrics that characterize the patient's mental state based data received from the patient via the second communication device; a storage configured to store the metrics. Another system for providing tactile and/or electrical stimuli remotely, the system comprising a body-suit to be worn by a human, the body-suit comprising one or more actuators configured to convert electrical signals to tactile and/or stimuli, wherein the body-suit is configured to convey the tactile and/or electrical stimuli to a body part of the human.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to performing varying frequency memory sub-system background scans using either or both a timer and an I/O event limit. This can be accomplished by identifying a background scan trigger event from one of multiple possible types of background scan trigger events, such as a timer expiration or reaching an event count limit. In response to the background scan trigger event, a background scan can be initiated on a memory portion. The background scan can produce results, such as CDF-based data. When a metric based on the results exceeds a background scan limit, a refresh relocation can be performed and logged. A metric can be generated based on the CDF-based data, obtained error recovery depth data, or refresh relocation event data. When the metric is above or below corresponding background scan thresholds, a background scan frequency can be adjusted.

Disclosed herein are systems and method for booting servers in a distributed storage to improve fault tolerance. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, during a booting of a hardware server belonging to the distributed storage, starting a boot component from on any one physical block device from at least two or more physical block devices of the hardware server, wherein the at least two or more physical block devices of the hardware server are bootable and each physical block device stores the boot component, wherein an Operating System (OS) of the hardware server is installed on a virtual disk, and wherein the virtual disk is stored on the distributed storage, and by the boot component, accessing the distributed storage to obtain access to the virtual disk, mounting the virtual disk as a root file system of the OS, and booting the OS from the mounted virtual disk.

An apparatus includes at least one processing device, with the at least one processing device comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The at least one processing device is configured to generate a data copy offload command to offload a data copy operation from a host device to a storage system, the command comprising a multi-protocol indicator that specifies that data is to be copied from a source logical storage device that utilizes a first access protocol to a destination logical storage device that utilizes a second access protocol different than the first access protocol, and to send the data copy offload command from the host device to the storage system over a network for performance of the offloaded data copy operation in the storage system in accordance with the command. The first and second access protocols illustratively comprise respective SCSI and NVMe access protocols.

Techniques for transmitting data may comprise: receiving a first data transfer rate indicating a communication rate at which a first entity communicates with a second entity over a communications fabric; receiving a second data transfer rate indicating a communication rate at which the second entity communicates with the first entity over the communications fabric; and performing first processing to send first data from the first entity to the second entity over the communications fabric, said first processing including: determining whether the first data transfer rate is greater than the second data transfer rate; and responsive to determining the first data transfer rate is greater than the second transfer rate, performing second processing by the first entity that controls and limits, in accordance with the second data transfer rate, a rate at which the first data is transmitted from the first entity to the second entity.

An example system includes an enclosure having a plurality of small computer system interface (SCSI) drives partitioned into a first zone including a first SCSI drive of the plurality of SCSI drives and a second zone including a second SCSI drive of the plurality of SCSI drives. The system includes a plurality of communication ports having a first port through which the first zone communicates; and a second port through which the second zone communicates. The system includes a management node configured to interact with the first SCSI drive in a first server as a first Internet SCSI (iSCSI) drive, and with the second SCSI drive in a second server as a second iSCSI drive.
