GROUPING STORAGE PORTS BASED ON DISTANCE

摘要

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for grouping storage ports based on distance. A distance module may be configured to assign distance values to a plurality of ports. Distance values may be for data communications between a node and ports. A group module may be configured to assign one or more ports of a plurality of ports to one of a first port group and a second port group based on assigned distances. A selection module may be configured to select a second port group for data communications between a node and a non-volatile storage medium in response to a first port group being unavailable.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining a plurality of ports through which a non-volatile storage volume is accessible; determining distances between a processor node and the ports; and assigning the ports to a plurality of groups based on the determined distances, the groups having different priorities for the processor node.
