Abstract: A power consumption threshold is implemented to manage power consumed by a plurality of devices. A power consumption threshold may be selected for a data storage system having multiple drives. Policies may control operation of storage devices such as hard disk drives to ensure the power consumption threshold is not exceeded. The policies may implement procedures for scheduling hard disk drive operations based on disk drive power characteristics, scheduling maintenance tasks, managing device power states, and strategically scheduling device operations based on their current state. The policies may be implemented by a data manager application in communication with multiple tiers of a data storage system.

Abstract translation: 实现功耗阈值以管理由多个设备消耗的功率。 可以为具有多个驱动器的数据存储系统选择功耗阈值。 策略可以控制诸如硬盘驱动器之类的存储设备的操作，以确保不超过功耗阈值。 该策略可以实现基于磁盘驱动器功率特性来调度硬盘驱动器操作的程序，调度维护任务，管理设备电源状态，以及基于其当前状态来策略性地调度设备操作。 策略可以由与数据存储系统的多层通信的数据管理器应用来实现。

Abstract: Computing components housed in a chassis interacts with a bidirectional slide rail system. The bidirectional slide rail system allows the computing components to be maneuvered in two directions—it may be pulled out about halfway to the front of the cabinet and/or pulled out halfway out of the back of the cabinet. This allows for easier access to components of the storage server and allows such components to be serviced from the top of the chassis.

Abstract: A fast mount cache is provided by any offline storage media for fast volume mount access. The fast mount cache may be used as the first level in a hierarchical storage configuration after the high performance tier for data having high access rates shortly after creation but decreases sharply as the data ages. The fast mount cache stores migrated data from online hard disk drive storage and maintains the data on a volume basis as opposed to a file basis. As the fast mount cache capacity fills, or other events occur triggering a volume change, the fast mount cache erases the volume having the oldest data. While data is maintained on the fast mount cache for periods of time soon after it is migrated, the data may be accessed quickly. After the initial period of time has expired, the data only exists on tape storage or low tier data.

Abstract translation: 任何脱机存储介质都提供快速安装缓存，以实现快速卷安装访问。 快速安装缓存可以用作分层存储配置中的第一级，在高性能层之后，数据在创建后不久具有高访问速率，但随着数据的老化而急剧下降。 快速安装缓存存储从在线硬盘驱动器存储的迁移数据，并以数据为基础维护数据，而不是基于文件。 随着快速安装缓存容量的填满，或其他事件触发卷更改，快速安装缓存会擦除具有最早数据的卷。 虽然数据在迁移后很快就会在快速安装缓存上维护一段时间，但数据可能会被快速访问。 在初始时间段到期后，数据仅存在于磁带存储或低层数据上。

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include software that provides an operator or a system service the ability to access, control, or configure a plurality of different data center resources using common sets of functions or commands even though those data center resources natively require different commands to access, control, or configure them. The invention is configured to accept common commands and then translate them from a common command format into device specific commands or command sets. The invention simplifies how data center equipment is controlled and configured.
