Abstract
A method according to one embodiment may include receiving a write request to write data in a local storage device. The method of this embodiment may also include detecting a write error in the local storage device. The method of this embodiment may also include reserving a reserved area in the local storage device and remapping the data corresponding to the write error to the reserved area of the local storage device. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an integrated circuit capable of receiving a write request to write data in a local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable of detecting a write error involving the local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable reserving a reserved area in said local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable of remapping the data corresponding to said write error to said reserved area of the local storage device, said integrated circuit is further capable of communicating with a remote system coupled to said integrated circuit and discovering data corresponding to said write error, said integrated circuit is further capable of creating a map to the data located on the remote system.
A system, comprising:
- at least one circuit card being capable of being coupled to a bus, said circuit card comprising an integrated circuit receiving a write request to write data on a local storage device, said an integrated circuit capable of receiving a write request to write data in a local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable of detecting a write error involving the local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable reserving a reserved area in said local storage device, said integrated circuit being further capable of remapping the data corresponding to said write error to said reserved area of the local storage device, said integrated circuit is further capable of detecting a host system critical error, reading memory contents of a host system memory, and writing said memory contents to said local storage device.
An article comprising:
- a storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following operations:
