Abstract:

A relational database is disclosed which includes a number of target tables each exhibiting a different type, such as a general contact table, a personal contact table and a department contact table. The relational database includes a super-column which is divided into a number of columns corresponding to the number of types of target tables. A respective column is allocated in the super-column for each of the types of the target tables. Valuable system memory space is consequently conserved. Multiple-typed tables and multi-targeted tables are supported, and multi-version data storage capabilities are provided.

Abstract:

A storage system includes a storage server and a storage subsystem having an I/O module coupled to disks. The storage server includes a storage adapter coupled to the I/O module creating an in-band (data) path to access data stored on the disks. The storage server sends a data command through the in-band path to the I/O module for accessing the data stored on the disks. The storage server further includes a network adapter coupled to the I/O module creating an out-of-band control path to control the I/O module. The storage server detects through the in-band path that the I/O module is non-responsive to a data command and automatically changes the behavior of the I/O module (e. g. , resets the I/O module) through the out-of-band control path to recover the non-responsive I/O module. The storage server also collects and outputs status data of the I/O module through the out-of-band control path.
