Abstract

A data service layer running on a storage director node generates a request to destage host data from a plurality of cache slots in a single back-end track. The destage request includes pointers to addresses of the cache slots and indicates an order in which the host application data in the cache slots is to be included in the back-end track. A back-end redundant array of independent drives (RAID) subsystem running on a drive adapter is responsive to the request to calculate parity information using the host application data in the cache slots. The back-end RAID subsystem assembles the single back-end track comprising the host application data from the plurality of cache slots of the request, and destages the single back-end track to a non-volatile drive in a single back-end input-output (IO) operation.
