Abstract

The design, implementation, and current utilization of a large mass storage system (MSS) is described. The MSS supports a large, networked, multivendor, Unix-based supercomputing facility. The MSS provides all processors on the network with the ability to store large amounts of data in a highly accessible long-term repository. Processors on this network vary in size and capability from personal computers and workstations to multiple large supercomputers like the CRAY-2 and CRAY Y-MP. The MSS emulates a Unix System V file system and is capable of storing hundreds of thousands of files ranging in size from a few bytes to 2 Gbytes. This use of Unix reduces the training requirements and allows the use of existing Unix networking solutions along with locally developed networking enhancements. The systems are currently networked via the NSC HYPERchannel and Ethernet. To assure data integrity and provide volume spanning capabilities, the IBM MVS operating system was integrated into the MSS. The MSS implementation was designed to make MVS transparent to the MSS user. >

一个基于Unix-MVS的超级计算机大容量存储系统

介绍了大型海量存储系统(MSS)的设计、实现和使用现状。MSS支持一个大型的、网络化的、多厂商的、基于unix的超级计算设施。MSS为网络上的所有处理器提供了在高度可访问的长期存储库中存储大量数据的能力。从个人计算机和工作站到多个大型超级计算机(如CRAY-2和CRAY Y-MP)，该网络上的处理器在大小和功能上各不相同。MSS模拟Unix System V文件系统，能够存储数十万个大小从几个字节到2gb不等的文件。这种Unix的使用减少了培训需求，并允许使用现有的Unix联网解决方案以及本地开发的联网增强功能。这些系统目前通过NSC超通道和以太网联网。为了确保数据完整性并提供卷跨越功能，IBM MVS操作系统被集成到MSS中。MSS实现的目的是使MVS对MSS用户透明。>
