20100050015 | TRIPLE PARITY TECHNIQUE FOR ENABLING EFFICIENT RECOVERY FROM TRIPLE FAILURES IN A STORAGE ARRAY - A method for recovering from three failed data storage devices is disclosed. A plurality of data storage devices hold data, and a row parity storage device holds row parity for them. The data storage devices and the row parity storage device form a set of storage devices. A diagonal parity storage device and an anti-diagonal parity storage device hold parity computed diagonally over the set of storage devices. In the event of a failure of three data storage devices of the set of storage devices, a first failed storage device is chosen for first restoration. A missing block of the first failed storage device is computed by using the remaining set of storage devices, and the diagonal parity storage device, and the anti-diagonal parity storage device. The remaining two failed storage devices are restored by a diagonal parity restoration technique. | 02-25-2010 |
20110010599 | N-WAY PARITY TECHNIQUE FOR ENABLING RECOVERY FROM UP TO N STORAGE DEVICE FAILURES - An n-way parity protection technique enables recovery of up to n storage device (e.g., disk) failures in a parity group of a storage array encoded to protect against n-way disk failures. The storage array is created by first configuring the array with m data disks, where m=p−1 and p is a prime number and a row parity disk. n−1 diagonal parity disks are then added to the array. Each diagonal parity set (i.e., diagonal) is associated with a slope that defines the data and row parity blocks of the array that are included in the diagonal. All diagonals having a common slope within a parity group are organized as a diagonal parity class. For each diagonal parity class, a diagonal parity storage disk is provided to store the diagonal parity. | 01-13-2011 |
20120179891 | EXTENSION OF WRITE ANYWHERE FILE SYSTEM LAYOUT - A file system layout apportions an underlying physical volume into one or more virtual volumes (vvols) of a storage system.

The aggregate has its own physical volume block number (pvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that pvbn space. Each vvol has its own virtual volume block number (vvbn) space and maintains metadata, such as block allocation structures, within that vvbn space. Notably, the block allocation structures of a vvol are sized to the vvol, and not to the underlying aggregate, to thereby allow operations that manage data served by the storage system (e.g., snapshot operations) to efficiently work over the vvols. | 07-12-2012 |

The diagonal parity is computed along diagonal parity sets that collectively span all data disks and a row parity disk of the array. The parity for all of the diagonal parity sets except one is stored on the diagonal parity disk. Similarly, the anti-diagonal parity is computed along anti-diagonal parity sets that collectively span all data disks and a row parity disk of the array. The parity for all of the anti-diagonal parity sets except one is stored on the anti-diagonal parity disk. The TP technique provides a uniform stripe depth and an optimal amount of parity information. | 12-20-2012 |
