A scalable software architecture, for optimal performance on a RAID level 1, 3, 4 and 5 disk array or tape array. The software architecture consists of a software device driver and one or more driver daemon processes to control I/O requests to the arrays. Implemented in a UNIX or NetWare operating environment, this architecture provides a transparent interface to the kernels I/O subsystem, physical device drivers and system applications. The array driver and I/O daemon can be run on a uni-processor or multi-processor system platform to optimize job control, error recovery, data recreation, parity generation and asynchronous writes.
