Abstract: A memory tester (6) is equipped with History FIFO's (91-98, 124-127) whose
depths are adjusted to account for the sum of the delays of the pipelines, relative to the
location of that History FIFO's (91-98,124-127) whose depths are adjusted to accound
for the sum of the delays of the pipelines, relation to the location of that History FIFO.
When the error flag (90,99) is generated the desired program location and state
information is present at the bottom of an appropriate History FIFO. This is also readily
applicable when the test program uses an ALU to generate its own DUT stimuli, as well
as to the case when the test program / ALU addresses an intermediate Buffer Memory
whose contents are central to the nature of the testing the DUT is to undergo. The first
is an ALU History FIFO (91-98), while the second is a Buffer Memory History FIFO
(127-127). There can also be ECR History FIFO's. There is a mechanism (84) to track
system re-configuration as it occurs and adjust the depths of the various History FIFO's
according to resulting pipeline depth. There is a mechanism (86,98) to freeze the
contents of a History FIFO upon the generation of an error. A History FIFO can be
extended to allow a branching instruction in the test program to not prematurely respond
to an error flag sooner than the pipeline delay needed for that error flag's value to be
determined by a cause located within the test program.

Abstract: The invention provides a storage system, and a method for operating a storage system, that provides for relatively rapid and reliable takeover among a plurality of independent file servers. Each file server maintains a reliable communication path to the others. Each file server maintains its own state in reliable memory. Each file server regularly confirms the state of the other file servers. Each file server labels messages on the redundant communication paths, so as to allow other file servers to combine the redundant communication paths into a single ordered stream of messages. Each file server maintains its own state in its persistent memory and compares that state with the ordered stream of messages, so as to determine whether other file servers have progressed beyond the file server's own last known state. 
Each file server uses the shared resources (such as magnetic disks) themselves as part of the redundant communication paths, so as to prevent mutual attempts at takeover of resources when each file server believes the other to have failed. Each file server provides a status report to the others when recovering from an error, so as to prevent the possibility of multiple file servers each repeatedly failing and attempting to seize the resources of the others.
