Figure 62 Non-Real-time

Token Adjustments

 

In Figure 62, assume the stripe group is already in real-time mode as a

 

result of an rtio request from client A. Clients B and D are doing non-real-

 

time I/O to the stripe group and have a token that specifies the amount of

 

non-real-time I/O available. Client C then requests a non-real-time I/O

 

token in Step 1. The FSM calls back to Clients B and D and specifies the

 

new token amount in Steps 2-3. The clients respond in Steps 4-5,

 

acknowledging the new token amount. The FSM then responds to Client

 

C with the new token in Step 6.

 

There are two major failures that affect QOS: FSM crashes and client

crashes. These can also be loss of communication (network outages). For

 

 

client and server failures, the system attempts to readjust itself to the pre-

 

failure state without any manual intervention.
