Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system and an operating method thereof. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory system may determine whether the memory system is in a read-intensive state; when determined that the memory system is in the read-intensive state, process a write request received from a host using at least one first type memory block among the plurality of memory blocks, and migrate data stored in a second type memory block to the at least one first type memory block; and set a number of bits that can be stored in a memory cell included in the first type memory block to be less than a number of bits that can be stored in a memory cell included in the second type memory block.

System and method for volume polarization across multiple storage systems

A method, computer program product, and computing system for dividing a plurality of volumes replicated across a pair of storage systems into one or more consistency groups. A polarization state may be defined for each consistency group. An input-output (IO) failure associated with at least one consistency group may be detected. At least a portion of the at least one consistency group may be polarized based upon, at least in part, the polarization state defined for the at least one consistency group.

Electronic control unit for vehicle and data communication method

An electronic control unit for a vehicle includes a nonvolatile memory that is capable of erasing and writing data electrically, and capable of receiving a program to be written into the nonvolatile memory in units of a predetermined size by means of communication using a communication buffer. The electronic control unit for the vehicle uses communication buffers, the number of which is greater than the number of communication buffers used in an in-vehicle communication environment, to receive the program.

MEMORY SYSTEM

A memory system includes a volatile first storing unit, a nonvolatile second storing unit in which data is managed in a predetermined unit, and a controller that writes data requested by a host apparatus in the second storing unit via the first storing unit and reads out data requested by the host apparatus from the second storing unit to the first storing unit and transfers the data to the host apparatus. The controller includes a management table for managing the number of failure areas in a predetermined unit that occur in the second storing unit and switches, according to the number of failure areas, an operation mode in writing data in the second storing unit from the host apparatus.

Switching between fault response models in a storage system

A storage system switching between mediation models within a storage system, where the switching between mediation models includes: determining, among one or more of the plurality of storage systems, a change in availability of a mediator service, wherein one or more of the plurality of storage systems are configured to request mediation from the mediator service in response to a fault; and communicating, among the plurality of storage systems and responsive to determining the change in availability of the mediator service, a fault response model to be used as an alternate to the mediator service among one or more of the plurality of storage systems.

20170344267 · 2017-11-30 ·

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that assists with identifying failure of a storage disk includes obtaining performance data and a threshold value associated with each of the obtained performance data for a plurality of storage disks. Next, the obtained performance data is compared with the corresponding threshold value associated with each of the obtained performance data to determine for one or more initial failures in the plurality of storage disks. Next, one or more operational test cases are executed on each of the determined one or more initial failures in the plurality of storage disks to determine for one or more false positives in the determined one or more initial failures in the plurality of storage disks. A notification is sent based on the determination of the one or more false positives.

System and method for backup generation using composed systems

A system for managing composed information handling systems includes information handling systems and a composed information handling system of the composed information handling systems, which includes at least one compute resource set, at least one control resource set, and at least one hardware resource set. The system also includes a system control processor that obtains a bare metal communication from a compute resource set indicating a write of data, writes a first copy of the data in a storage resource of the at least one hardware resource set, writes a second copy of the data in a trace volume, generates a backup of the data using the trace volume, and stores the backup in a storage.

Region descriptor management method and electronic apparatus thereof

A region descriptor management method and an electronic apparatus are provided. The region descriptor management method is adapted to a device controller of the electronic apparatus and includes following steps. Region descriptor entries are fetched from a region descriptor table. Each of the region descriptor entries includes a block initial address and a block length to describe a memory block of a memory module. According to the block initial addresses and the block lengths of the region descriptor entries, a portion of the region descriptor entries are adjusted to be at least one current region descriptor entry. Based on the at least one current region descriptor entry, a current region descriptor table is generated.

Detecting and reconfiguring of boot parameters of a remote non-volatile memory express (NVME) subsystem

Detecting and reconfiguring of boot parameters of a NVMe subsystem, including identifying a mapping between local boot parameters of a NVMe subsystem and a GUID that corresponds to the NVMe subsystem; determining that the NVMe subsystem has been reset; in response to determining that the NVMe subsystem has been reset: transmitting a discovery request to the NVMe subsystem for remote boot parameters of the NVMe subsystem; comparing the local boot parameters for the GUID with the remote boot parameters for the NVMe subsystem; determining, based on the comparing, that the remote boot parameters for the NVMe subsystem do not match with the local boot parameters for the GUID, and in response, updating values of the local boot parameters for the GUID based on the remote boot parameters of the NVMe subsystem.

Data storage space management

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, managing space allocation of one or more data storage devices. In some examples, a storage service may identify at least one computer-readable storage device. The computer-readable storage device may, in some examples, have availability level that corresponds to a size of data to be stored. The storage service may also identify a target storage device based at least in part on a capacity of a subset of the storage devices. In some cases, this may be performed for one or more of the devices of the subset. Further, the storage service may store the data in the identified target storage device.
