Abstract
A method for storing data for correction of multiple data storage failures in a storage array is presented. The storage array is organized as a plurality of sub-arrays, each sub-array including a set of data storage devices and a plurality of local parity storage blocks, each of the plurality of local storage blocks storing parity information for a corresponding sub-array. A plurality of diagonal parity sets is computed, one diagonal parity set for each sub-array. A global diagonal parity is computed by logically combining together a plurality of the diagonal parity sets. The global diagonal parity is stored in a plurality of global diagonal parity storage blocks.
