Abstract: A method includes, responsive to receiving a modified first reservation command from a storage controller, identifying, by a storage drive, a first range of storage based on a first range identifier of the modified reservation command. The method also includes granting, by the storage drive, a reservation for access to the storage drive on behalf of a first host controller by associating the reservation for the first range with a second range of storage.

Abstract: A virtualized copy-by-reference includes: receiving, from a first computer system, a request for reference information for source data within a source volume; providing, to the first computer system, the reference information, wherein the reference information corresponds to a metadata representation of the source data; receiving, from a second computer system, a request to write the source data to a target volume, and wherein the request to write the source data indicates the reference information; and copying, using the reference information, the metadata representation of the source data to the target volume.

Abstract: A system including embedded storage devices is described. A method of system operation includes determining, by a processing device of a storage system controller operatively coupled via a network to embedded storage devices, that data is to be stored in a first storage portion of a first storage device of the embedded storage devices. The method also includes buffering the data in a second storage portion of a second embedded storage device of the embedded storage devices.

Abstract: Layering communication fabric protocols, including: allocating storage resources on an initiating storage system for a data transfer, wherein a command protocol to implement the data transfer specifies an exchange of multiple messages; receiving, from a target storage system and into the allocated storage resources at the initiating storage system, data within a single message corresponding to the command protocol that specifies an exchange of multiple messages to implement the data transfer; and in response to receiving the data within the single message corresponding to the command protocol that specifies an exchange of multiple messages to implement the data transfer, generating a status message indicating receipt of the data.

Abstract: Emulating a remote direct memory access (‘RDMA’) link between controllers in a storage array, including: inserting, into a buffer utilized by a direct memory access (‘DMA’) engine of a first storage array controller, a data transfer descriptor describing data stored in memory of the first storage array controller and a location to write the data to memory of the second storage array controller; retrieving, in dependence upon the data transfer descriptor, the data stored in memory of the first storage array controller; and writing the data into the memory of the second storage array controller in dependence upon the data transfer descriptor.

Abstract: Supporting multiple replication schemes across distinct network layers, including: replicating, over a first type of network messaging layer, data between a first storage system and a second storage system; selecting a different messaging layer for data replication; and replicating, over a second type of network messaging layer, data between the first storage system and the second storage system.

Abstract: Enabling multi-channel communications between controllers in a storage array, including: creating a plurality of logical communications channels between two or more storage array controllers; inserting, into a buffer utilized by a direct memory access (‘DMA’) engine of a first storage array controller, a data transfer descriptor describing data stored in memory of the first storage array controller and a location to write the data to memory of a second storage array controller; retrieving, in dependence upon the data transfer descriptor, the data stored in memory of the first storage array controller; and writing, via a predetermined logical communications channel, the data into the memory of the second storage array controller in dependence upon the data transfer descriptor.
