FORENSICS COLLECTION FOR FAILED STORAGE CONTROLLERS

摘要

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for collecting forensics associated with a failure of a storage controller. For example, a storage node, of a cluster environment, may comprise a service processor and a storage controller. The storage controller may manage a storage device accessible, through the storage controller, to one or more client devices. The service processor may manage the storage controller (e.g., collect operational statistics of the storage controller, perform software and/or firmware updates for the storage controller, etc.). The service processor may obtain forensics associated with a failure of the storage controller, and may provide the forensics to a cluster health monitor notwithstanding the storage controller being in an inoperable state (e.g., the service processor may send the forensics through a network interface controller of the storage node, over a non-client storage management network, to the cluster health monitor).

主权项

1. A system for collecting forensics associated with a failure of a storage controller, comprising:
a processor; and a memory containing instructions which when executed by the processor implement at least some of:
a first storage node within a cluster environment comprising a plurality of storage nodes, the first storage node comprising:
a first storage controller configured to manage a storage device accessible to one or more client devices; anda first service processor configured to:
detect a failure of the first storage controller;obtain forensics associated with the failure; andexpose, during the failure, the forensics to a cluster health monitor.
