Abstract: A mechanism to support remote mirroring of storage devices by data storage systems (16a-16d) in a one-to-many switched environment. Each data storage system includes a disk director that is adapted to control at least one device group that is supported in a mirrored configuration with a corresponding device group controlled by one of the other data storage systems. For each device group and corresponding device group, there are first ports associated with the device group and second ports associated (34a-34h) with the corresponding device group. A switch element is adapted to connect one of the first ports to at least one of the second ports so that data may be exchanged between the ports for each device group and corresponding device group. The disk director selects which first port is to be connected to which second port via the switch element in the establishment of a logical link. Thus, each port connected to the switch is capable of achieving multiple connections to multiple destinations for increased connectivity, redundancy and performance (load balance) without additional hardware.
Abstract translation: 支持数据存储系统（16a-16d）在一对多交换环境中远程镜像存储设备的机制。 每个数据存储系统包括磁盘引导器，该磁盘引导器适于控制被镜像配置中支持的至少一个设备组与由其他数据存储系统之一控制的相应设备组。 对于每个设备组和相应的设备组，存在与设备组相关联的第一个端口和与相应设备组相关联的第二个端口（34a-34h）。 开关元件适于将第一端口中的一个连接到至少一个第二端口，使得可以在用于每个设备组和相应设备组的端口之间交换数据。 在建立逻辑链路时，磁盘控制器通过交换机元件选择要连接到哪个第二端口的第一端口。 因此，连接到交换机的每个端口能够实现多个连接到多个目的地，以增加连接性，冗余和性能（负载平衡），而无需额外的硬件。

Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement of storage systems each adapted to control at least one group of devices, supported in a mirrored configuration with a corresponding group of devices controlled by one of the other storage systems. Each device group has a first port associated with it and the corresponding group has a second port associated to it. One of the first ports is connected to one of the second ports for the exchange of data between the device groups. The ports may be configured to control more than one device group, with the port linked to selected ports controlling the device groups that mirror the device group controlled by the port. Also disclosed is a remote data mirroring arrangement in which the ports of the data storage devices are connected by a switch fabric and use configuration topology information to establish logical links between the ports.
