    Abstract: A media area network (10) includes a storage system (16) having at least one storage device (18) for storing digitized information. A host bus (14) adapter provides a link between the storage system and a host system (12) that provides overall control of the media area network. Within the host bus adapter, a lower-level port driver (24) monitors communications between the storage system and the host bus adapter. In the event of a communications failure, the lower-level port driver initiates switching from a failed port to an alternative port, thereby achieving fail-over recovery. Allocating the responsibility for fail-over recovery to the lower-level port driver assures timely handling of port failures, thereby reducing potential latency delays.

    Abstract translation: 媒体区域网络(10)包括具有用于存储数字化信息的至少一个存储设备(18)的存储系统(16)。 主机总线(14)适配器提供存储系统与提供媒体区域网络的总体控制的主机系统(12)之间的链路。 在主机总线适配器中,较低级别的端口驱动器(24)监视存储系统和主机总线适配器之间的通信。 在通信故障的情况下,下级端口驱动程序启动从故障端口切换到备用端口,从而实现故障切换恢复。 将故障转移恢复责任分配给下级端口驱动程序可以及时处理端口故障,从而减少潜在的延迟延迟。
