Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a virtual channel for data transfers between devices. A method includes presenting an address space for a memory buffer. The address space may be larger than a physical capacity of the memory buffer. A method includes controlling, from a peripheral device, a rate at which a data source transfers data to a memory buffer using a presented address space based on a rate at which a data target transfers data from the memory buffer using the presented address space so that an amount of data stored in the memory buffer remains at or below a physical capacity of the memory buffer.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to storage device failover. In one embodiment, a plurality of storage devices are represented as cluster resources to a cluster resource manager that manages cluster resources on a plurality of cluster nodes. An indication may be received that a failover operation is requested with respect to one of the plurality of storage devices. In response to the indication, the cluster resource manager may initiate the failover operation. In some embodiments, the failover operation includes changing a first access state of the storage device and a second access state of another storage device. In such an embodiment, the storage device and the other storage device may be associated with a logical unit number. In some embodiments, the storage device is located within a first of the plurality of cluster nodes; the other storage device is located within a second of the plurality of cluster nodes.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to synchronizing state information across nodes in a cluster. In one embodiment, a first cluster node receives a request to update state information for a logical volume of the cluster. The first cluster node acquires a lock from a distributed lock manager of the cluster, the lock controlling modification of the state information. In response to acquiring the lock, the first cluster node updates the state information across cluster nodes of the cluster. In one embodiment, first cluster node updates the state information in some, but not all, of the cluster nodes. In some embodiments, the first cluster node updates the state information across only cluster nodes associated with the logical volume.
