Abstract
A data storage system and associated method comprising system configuration information; a first processor adapted for identifying a portion of the system configuration information in response to a configuration change request to the memory space, and for signaling an update request incident with the configuration change request to a second processor; and a second processor adapted for updating the portion in response to the update request and independently of the first processor.
Claims20
A method of updating system configuration information in response to a configuration change request, comprising:
- identifying candidate system configuration information associated with the configuration change request by a first processor;
- sending an update request incident with the configuration change request to a second processor;
- and
- updating the candidate system configuration information by the second processor in response to the update request and independently of the first processor.
A data storage system comprising:
- system configuration information associated with allocation of a memory space;
- a first processor adapted for identifying a portion of the system configuration information in response to a configuration change request to the memory space;
- and
- a second processor adapted for updating the portion in response to an update request incident with the configuration change request and independently of the first processor.
A data processing system comprising:
- system configuration information defining allocation of a memory space;
- and
- means for updating the system configuration information by sharing operations associated with a configuration update request across multiple processors.
