Abstract:
Data management functions are offloaded from a main controller to individual storage devices in a multi-device storage environment. The main controller receives a data management request from a host system, and responds by determining one or more storage devices and one or more data management operations to be performed by the one or more storage devices. The main controller initiates performance of a data management function corresponding to the data management request, by sending one or more data management commands to the one or more storage devices, and initiating one or more data transfers, such as a direct memory access operation to transfer data between a memory buffer of a storage device and a host memory buffer of the host system, and an internal data transfer between two or more of the storage devices using an internal communication fabric of the data storage sub system.

Claim (Index 18):
A main controller subsystem comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory storing a set of instructions that cause the one or more processors to:\n at the main controller subsystem, while connected to a plurality of storage devices in a data storage subsystem of a multi-device storage environment:\n receiving a data management request from a host system external to the multi-device storage environment; \n determining, based on the data management request, one or more storage devices of the plurality of storage devices and one or more data management commands to be performed by the one or more storage devices; \n initiating performance of a data management function corresponding to the data management request, including:\n sending the one or more data management commands to the one or more storage devices; and \n initiating one or more data transfers, the one or more data transfers comprising one or more operations selected from the set consisting of a direct memory access operation to transfer data between a memory buffer of a respective storage device of the data storage subsystem and a host memory buffer of the host system, and an internal data transfer between two or more of the storage devices using an internal communication fabric of the data storage subsystem that interconnects the plurality of storage devices; and \n \n sending a completion notification to the host system, the completion notification indicating the data management function has completed.
