Abstract
A system for peer-to-peer vibration mitigation in a distributing computing system includes a secondary communication interface over which chassis management electronics (e.g., a chassis-level controller) and/or system storage nodes may initiate communications to in order to affect system changes that may decrease vibration-related performance degradation in the system.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- detecting vibration-related performance degradation;
- initiating, in a first storage node, a communication over a drive operation interface to a second storage node in a distributed computing system, the communication requesting an action for decreasing vibration-related performance degradation in the first storage node.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process, the computer process comprising:
- detecting vibration-related performance degradation;
- initiating, in a storage node, a communication over a drive operation interface to a chassis-level controller in a chassis of a distributed computing system, the communication requesting an action for decreasing vibration-related performance degradation in the storage node.
A system comprising:
- a drive operation interface for initiating a communication in a storage node of a plurality of storage nodes to an external component, wherein the drive operation interface is a physical interface that is separate from a primary data interface between the storage node and the external component, wherein the communication requests an action for decreasing vibration-related performance degradation in the storage node.
