Data Storage Management For Network Interconnected Processors

View page
US Patent:
58325220, Nov 3, 1998
Filed:
May 22, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/650114
Inventors:
Ronald L. Blickenstaff - Niwot CO
Catherine Irlam Brant - Boulder CO
Paul David Dodd - Niwot CO
Anton H. Kirchner - Nederland CO
Jennifer Kay Montez - Thornton CO
Brian Eldred Trede - Woodinville WA
Richard Allen Winter - Longmont CO
Assignee:
Kodak Limited - Harrow
International Classification:
G06F 1730
US Classification:
707204
Abstract:
The data storage system is connected to a local area network and includes a storage server that on a demand basis and/or on a periodically scheduled basis audits the activity on each volume of each data storage device that is connected to the network. Low priority data files are migrated via the network and the storage server to backend data storage media, and the directory resident in the data storage device is updated with a placeholder entry to indicate that this data file has been migrated to backend storage. When the processor requests this data file, the placeholder entry enables the storage server to recall the requested data file to the data storage device from which it originated.

Control Of Cache Buffer For Memory Subsystem

View page
US Patent:
47808080, Oct 25, 1988
Filed:
Oct 2, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/104565
Inventors:
Robert J. Moreno - Boulder CO
Brian E. Trede - Lafayette CO
Robert W. Schmidt - Lafayette CO
Assignee:
Storage Technology Corporation - Louisville CO
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
A solid-state cache memory subsystem configured to be used in conjunction with disk drives for prestaging of data in advance of its being called for by a host computer features a controller featuring means for establishing and maintaining precise correspondence between storage locations in the solid-state array and on the disk memory, for use in establishing a reoriented position on a disk in the event of error detection, and in order to determine when a predetermined quantity of data has been read from the disk into the cache in a staging operation.

Data Storage Management For Network Interconnected Processors Using Transferrable Placeholders

US Patent:
58731032, Feb 16, 1999
Filed:
Aug 27, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/920344
Inventors:
Brian Eldred Trede - Woodinville WA
Michael Glen Lotz - Louisville CO
Assignee:
Kodak Limited - Hemel Hempstead Herts
International Classification:
G06F 1730
US Classification:
707204
Abstract:
The data storage management system provides the capability to move and/or copy the placeholder files from one file server volume to another file server volume, even if the destination file server volume resides on a different file server. This is accomplished by the use of unique and immutable migration keys which are included in the placeholder entries to identify the location of the associated data file with absolute certainty. In addition, a duplicate copy of the placeholder catalog file is maintained in the system to prevent loss of file system integrity in the event that the active placeholder catalog file is corrupted. This placeholder data is maintained in a placeholder volume catalog which provides users with a file-system-like view of the placeholder files which reside on the selected volume.

Detection Of Sequential Data Stream For Improvements In Cache Data Storage

View page
US Patent:
44687303, Aug 28, 1984
Filed:
Nov 27, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/325350
Inventors:
P. David Dodd - Boulder CO
Ronald L. Blickenstaff - Boulder CO
Richard L. Coulson - Boulder CO
Robert J. Moreno - Boulder CO
Brian E. Trede - Lafayette CO
Assignee:
Storage Technology Corporation - Louisville CO
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
A method for detection of a sequential data stream which can be performed without host computer intervention is disclosed featuring examination of a data record and channel program during read operations for signals indicative that the data is not part of a sequential data stream, for example, embedded seek instructions. If a particular sought for record does not contain such indications, the successive record or records may then be staged to a faster access memory device such as a solid-state cache. The invention is described in a plug-compatible, software-transparent configuration.

Filed:
Nov 15, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/441901
Inventors:
P. David Dodd - Boulder CO
Ronald L. Blickenstaff - Boulder CO
Richard L. Coulson - Stanford CA
Robert J. Moreno - Boulder CO
Brian E. Trede - Lafayette CO
Assignee:
Storage Technology Corporation - Louisville CO
International Classification:
G06F 900
US Classification:
364200
Abstract:
A method for detection of a sequential data stream which can be performed in a data storge subsystem without host computer intervention is disclosed featuring examination of the channel program processed during a read operation for signals indicative that the data is not part of a sequential data stream, for example, embedded seek instructions. If a particular channel program for does not contain such indications, the successive record or records may then be staged to a faster access memory device such as a solid-state cache. The invention is described in a plug-compatible, software-transparent configuration.
