20100312961	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STORING EXCESS DATA IN A REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DISK LEVEL 6 - A method and system for storing excess data in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) level 6 are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for storing excess data in a RAID 6 volume includes writing excess data to Q parity blocks of a first RAID 6 volume when a receipt of the excess data directed to the first RAID 6 volume is detected subsequent to a saturation of the first RAID 6 volume, where the first RAID 6 volume is converted to a pseudo-RAID 5 volume with P parity blocks. The method further includes re-computing the P parity blocks of the pseudo-RAID 5 volume based on data blocks of the pseudo-RAID 5 volume. In addition, the method includes constructing a second RAID 6 volume based on the pseudo-RAID 5 volume when at least one additional drive is inserted to the pseudo-RAID 5 volume.	12-09-2010

20100268855	ETHERNET PORT ON A CONTROLLER FOR MANAGEMENT OF DIRECT-ATTACHED STORAGE SUBSYSTEMS FROM A MANAGEMENT CONSOLE - A system and device for central bios level management of direct-attached storage subsystems is disclosed. A system includes a plurality of DAS subsystems, with each DAS subsystem including a host bus adapter (HBA) having a local area network (LAN) port and a LAN communication module for providing a LAN communication based on an internet protocol (IP) address of the HBA. The system further includes a management console coupled to the plurality of DAS subsystems using the LAN port for managing the plurality of DAS subsystems by directly communicating with the HBA of said each DAS subsystem using the IP address of the HBA. The system also includes a network switch for controlling data traffic between the plurality of DAS subsystems and the management console.	10-21-2010

20100268875	RAID LEVEL MIGRATION FOR SPANNED ARRAYS - A method for a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller for migrating a RAID level in spanned arrays is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for a RAID controller for migrating a RAID level in spanned arrays includes receiving a command for a RAID level migration from a first RAID level in spanned arrays to a second RAID level. The method further includes initializing a number of pointers which correspond to a number of the spanned arrays in the first RAID level, and transferring at least one data block of the first RAID level in the spanned arrays using the number of pointers to form the second RAID level.	10-21-2010
