SERVER SYSTEM

A server system comprising processing devices, disks and a storage fabric, all arranged to operate according to a storage fabric protocol in order to communicate between the processing devices and thestorage devices over the storage fabric, wherein the storage fabric is settable with a mapping determining which of the processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices in providing said services to the client systems. The system comprises a control function arranged to dynamically adapt the mapping in response to either: (i) failure or other downtime of one of the processingdevices, storage devices, a component of the storage fabric or a connection in the storage fabric; or (ii) a current demand for the services from the client systems. 一种服务器系统包括处理设备、磁盘和存储结构，所有这些被布置为根据存储结构协议进行操作以便通过存储结构在处理设备与存储设备之间进行通信，其中存储结构利用映射可设置，该映射确定在向客户端系统提供所述服务时，处理设备中的哪些处理设备被分配以使用存储设备中的哪些存储设备。该系统包括被布置为响应于以下之一而动态地适配映射的控制功能：(i)处理设备、存储设备、存储结构的组件或存储结构中的连接之一的故障或其他停机时间；或者(ii)从客户端系统对服务的当前需求。
