Data synchronization method for redundant server system with active/passive iom
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013798B2) discloses a method for data synchronization in a redundant server system comprising an active input/output module (IOM) and a passive IOM. The method involves allocating primary and secondary transfer buffers, collecting sensor data, updating state data, and synchronizing between the primary and secondary memory devices. The system includes primary and secondary dedicated sensors, with the primary processing unit updating the primary state data based on collected sensor data and secondary sensor data stored in the primary transfer buffer, which is then transferred to the secondary memory device of the passive IOM for synchronization.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features such as the use of volatile and electrically rewritable memory devices, packaging sensor data into single data packets for storage, the inclusion of share buses for additional sensor data collection, and the use of an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus for communication between processing units. The method also involves allocating transfer buffers in the kernel driver layer of a Linux operating system for efficient data management. The system is designed to collect only secondary dedicated-sensor data, enhancing the synchronization process between the redundant server system components.
