Duplicated shared memory controller for disk array

摘要

The disk array controller includes a plurality of interfaces with respective processors for connecting with a host computer or disk devices, duplicated shared memories connected in a one to one ratio between each interface and respective access paths, a selector connected to the plurality of interfaces, and a cache memory connected to the selector. The number of access paths between the selector and the plurality of interfaces is greater than the number of access paths between the cache memory and the selector. Each processor performs dual writing in the duplicated shared memories.
