Abstract
A resilient software Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID)/management communication system includes a chassis housing a software RAID subsystem coupled to a plurality of storage devices that are also coupled to a management subsystem. The software RAID subsystem designates a first storage device in the plurality of storage devices as a primary storage device and a second storage device in the plurality of storage devices as a secondary storage device, and uses the respective storage device memory subsystem in the first storage device to transmit first management communications with the management subsystem. If the software RAID subsystem determines that the first storage device is unavailable, it uses the respective storage device memory subsystem in the second storage device to transmit second management communications with the management subsystem.
