A storage enclosure connected to a server via an external network and includes a network switch, an expander that is connected to the network switch and that is configured to generate enclosure data that supports a format conforming with SCSI Enclosure Services, and a board management controller (BMC) that is connected to the network switch and the expander. The BMC is configured to translate the enclosure data into enclosure translating data that supports a Redfish® format. The expander is configured to, after generating the enclosure data, transmit the enclosure data through the network switch to the BMC via an internal network. The BMC is configured to translate the enclosure data into the enclosure translating data, and to transmit the enclosure translating data to the network switch. The network switch transmits the enclosure translating data to the server through the external network.

Storage enclosure and system including the storage enclosure

A control system for a storage apparatus includes two input/output modules (IOMs), and two non-volatile memory (NVM) devices that are electrically connected to the IOMs, respectively, and that each store a firmware code. Each of the IOMs is configured to execute a firmware corresponding to the firmware code stored in the corresponding NVM device, and to enter an active mode or a passive mode after executing the firmware. The IOMs are configured such that when one IOM operating in the passive mode detects abnormal operation of the other IOM operating in the active mode, the one IOM sends, to the other IOM, the firmware code stored in the NVM device electrically connected to the one IOM, in order to update the firmware code in the NVM device electrically connected to the other IOM.

Storage apparatus and control system for the same

A power supplying method for a computer system is proposed. The computer system includes a first computer node, a first power supply unit corresponding to the first computer node, a second computer node, a second power supply unit corresponding to the second computer node, and a connection module electrically connected to the computer nodes and the power supply units. The power supplying method includes: detecting, by the first computer node, whether the second power supply unit operates abnormally; and upon detecting at least that the second power supply unit operates abnormally, controlling, by the first computer node, the first power supply unit to provide electric power to the second computer node through the connection module.
