Abstract
A technique involves performing, in a data storage system, a full-boot procedure which includes a set of critical boot activities and a set of avoidable boot activities. The technique further involves providing, in response to completion of the full-boot procedure, a fastboot notification indicating to the data storage system that a fastboot procedure is to be performed in response to a warm boot event. The technique further involves placing, after providing the fastboot notification, the data storage system into a normal operating mode in which the data storage system performs data storage operations in response to data storage requests from a set of external host computers. Such operation enables the data storage system to subsequently perform a fastboot procedure that avoids the set of avoidable boot activities in response to the next warm boot event.
