Abstract

See full text

A method to coordinate interconnected information storage and retrieval systems, where each of the information and storage systems is capable of communicating with one or more host computers. The method provides a plurality of controllers and one or more information storage and retrieval systems, where each of the plurality of controllers is disposed in one of the one or more information storage and retrieval systems. The method designates one of the plurality of controllers as a master controller and the remaining controllers as target controllers. The method then generates one or more master controller commands by the master controller, and provides those one or more master controller commands to each of said target controllers, where the one or more master controller commands cause said target controllers to adjust the flow of data into and out of the one or more information storage and retrieval systems.
