Abstract
A software RAID/management communication system includes a chassis housing a software Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) subsystem and a management subsystem that are each coupled to a storage device having a storage device memory subsystem. The software RAID subsystem provides a software RAID information request in the storage device memory subsystem that requests the management subsystem provide software RAID information associated with the operation of a software RAID provided by the software RAID subsystem, the software RAID subsystem then periodically accesses the storage device memory subsystem and, when the software RAID subsystem determines that the management subsystem has provided a software RAID information response in the storage device memory subsystem, the software RAID subsystem retrieves the software RAID information that was provided in the storage device memory subsystem by the management subsystem.
