| Zusammenfassung: | A data storage system has first and second computing nodes that are interconnected by a switchless fabric. Each storage node includes first and second paired storage directors with an interconnecting communication link. Atomic operations sent between the computing nodes are mediated by network adapters. Atomic operations sent between paired storage directors via the interconnecting communication link are provided to a network adapter via an internal port and mediated by network adapter. The interconnecting communication links can be used as a backup path for atomic operations in the event of a link failure of the switchless fabric. |
