Intelligent file system based power management for shared storage that migrates groups of files based on inactivity threshold
A file server includes active storage containing frequently accessed files, and active / inactive disk drives for containing infrequently accessed files. Groups of the files having become inactive in the active storage are successively migrated to respective evacuated active / inactive disk drives so that each active / inactive disk drive is loaded with files having a similar probability of access when access to the active / inactive disk drive reaches an inactivity threshold for powering down the active / inactive disk drive. Storage of the active / inactive disk drives is reclaimed when an oldest group of the files is archived or when an active / inactive disk drive is evacuated by migrating files from the active / inactive disk drive to storage having been released in other disk drives by promotion of files for client access to the promoted files. Therefore, recovery of storage can be planned and scheduled in advance and performed efficiently in a background process.

Method and system for improving usable life of memory devices using vector processing
ActiveUS7139863B1Extended service lifeUseful life of flashMemory architecture accessing/allocationRead-only memoriesActivity levelActive data
A method, system and apparatus for improving the useful life of non-volatile memory devices such as flash memory. The present wear-leveling technique advantageously improves the overall useful life of a flash memory device by strategically moving inactive data (data that has been infrequently modified in the recent past) to the memory blocks that have experienced the most wear since the device began operation and by strategically moving active data to the memory blocks that have experienced the least wear. In order to efficiently process and track data activity and block wear, vectors of block-descriptor pointers are maintained. One vector is sorted in decreasing order of overall block erase / write activity (block-wear indicator), whereas the other vector is sorted in increasing order of the number of times a block has been erased since the last wear-leveling event occurred (activity indicator for the data stored in the block). The activity levels of the data and the wear levels of the blocks are then easily compared and otherwise processed using pointers into these vectors to allow for more efficient processing than previous techniques used for wear leveling.

Monitoring of solid state memory devices in active memory system utilizing redundant devices
ActiveUS20060129899A1Facilitate active monitoringError detection/correctionStatic storageMemory addressActive monitoring
Redundant capacity in a memory system is utilized to facilitate active monitoring of solid state memory devices in the memory system. All or part of the data stored in an active solid state memory device, and used in an active data processing system, may be copied to at least one redundant memory device, e.g., by transitioning a memory address range that was allocated to the active memory device to the redundant memory device. By doing so, memory access requests for the memory address range, which would normally be directed to the active memory device, may instead be directed to the redundant memory device, thus enabling the active memory device to be tested (e.g., via writing and reading test data patterns to the active memory device) without interrupting system access to that memory address range.

Conditional hardware scan dump data capture
A computer for implementing a method for conditionally capturing hardware scan dump data to minimize the reboot recovery time employs a service processor operable to detect a failure of another hardware component of the computer. Upon detection, the service processor will conditionally capture hardware scan dump data. The first condition for capturing hardware scan dump data is the service processor being activated into an active storing mode of operation labeled “Always”. The second condition for capturing hardware scan dump data is the service processor being activated to a reactive storing mode of operation labeled “As Needed” and the error causing the operational failure being a type of error where hardware scan dump data is needed or desired by a system engineer in correcting the operational failure. By conditionally capturing hardware scan dump data, the amount of data being processed over multiple failures of the computer is minimized.

The configuration of a cache memory can be changed while minimizing the influence over input-output performance with a host system on the active storage system.A data transfer control unit transfers data via a cache memory by a write-after method; and as triggered by an event where an amount of input to and output from an object area in the cache memory falls below a certain value, the data transfer control unit switches from the write-after method to a write-through method and then transfers data via the cache memory. Subsequently, as triggered by an event where there is no longer any input to and output from the object area in the cache memory, a processor changes the configuration of the cache memory relating to the object area.
