Abstract: A device, system, and/or method includes an internal circuit configured to perform at least one function, an input-output terminal set and a repair circuit. The input-output terminal set includes a plurality of normal input-output terminals connected to an external device via a plurality of normal signal paths and at least one repair input-output terminal selectively connected to the external device via at least one repair signal path. The repair circuit repairs at least one failed signal path included in the normal signal paths based on a mode signal and fail information signal, where the mode signal represents whether to use the repair signal path and the fail information signal represents fail information on the normal signal paths. Using the repair circuit, various systems adopting different repair schemes may be repaired and cost of designing and manufacturing the various systems may be reduced.

Abstract: A memory device and method of operation are described. The memory device may include NAND memory. The memory device may configure a host device to maintain a host-side buffer for data backup. When the memory device determines an error associated with attempting to write data to a page of memory in a memory block, the memory device may indicate the error to the host device. The host device may, based on receiving the indication of the error, transmit to the memory device a backup copy of the data and other impacted data from the circular buffer. The memory device may configure the host-side buffer to have at least a particular size based one or more structural or operational aspects of the memory device.

Abstract: During a storage redundancy giveback from a first node to a second node following a storage redundancy takeover from the second node by the first node, the second node is initialized in part by receiving a node identification indicator from the second node. The node identification indicator is included in a node advertisement message sent by the second node during a giveback wait phase of the storage redundancy giveback. The node identification indicator includes an intra-cluster node connectivity identifier that is used by the first node to determine whether the second node is an intra-cluster takeover partner. In response to determining that the second node is an intra-cluster takeover partner, the first node completes the giveback of storage resources to the second node.

Abstract: Provided are a storage system and a storage control method wherein, when communication is disabled (communication via a data communication path is disabled) in spite of replacement of a second CTL among a first CTL and the second CTL that are redundant storage controllers and that are coupled via the data communication path, the first CTL executes a write process of writing dirty data and data management information to one or more storage devices while maintaining acceptance of I/O requests from a host. The replaced second CTL reads the data management information from the one or more storage devices. The first CTL stops accepting I/O requests from the host. The replaced second CTL starts accepting I/O requests from the host.

Abstract: A semiconductor device in which unwanted change in the secondary data which must be reliable is suppressed and the need for a considerable increase in the capacity of a memory unit can be avoided. Also it ensures efficient data processing by asymmetric access to the memory unit. It includes a memory unit having a first memory without an error correcting function, a second memory with an error correcting function, and a plurality of access nodes for the memories. A plurality of buses is coupled to the access nodes and a plurality of data processing modules can asymmetrically access the memory unit through the buses. The first memory stores primary data before data processing by the data processing modules, and the second memory stores secondary data after data processing by the data processing modules.

Abstract: A DIMM includes first and second DRAM devices, each configured to perform memory transactions for memory locations associated with the DRAM device via a respective first and second memory channel. The DIMM also includes a non-volatile memory device and a DIMM controller. The DIMM controller stores data from the first and second memory locations to the non-volatile memory device in response to a save data operation, receives an indication that communication via the first memory channel has failed, stores the first data from the non-volatile memory device to the second DRAM device in response to the indication and a restore data operation, provides an indication that the data is stored on the second DRAM device, receives an indication that the data has been read, stores the second data from the non-volatile memory device to the second DRAM device, and provides an indication that the second data is stored on the second DRAM device.

Abstract: In a storage system, a processor divides a plurality of sections that constitute a physical storage area in a storage device into primary sections and secondary sections, associates one primary section and one secondary section with each other and then manages the associated primary section and secondary section, and writes data having been written to a primary section also to a secondary section corresponding to the primary section.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing cable failover in multiple cable Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) IO interconnections to an external IO enclosure. System firmware is provided for implementing health check functions for the PCIE IO interconnections to identify a faulted low byte cable. A cable failover mechanism recovers a PCI link to the external IO enclosure. A multiplexer logic is provided between the PCIE host bridge (PHB) and the cable connected to the IO enclosure to perform a full lane reversal of the PCIE lanes.
