Methods and apparatuses for facilitating the management of multiple
controller code versions for implementing operational aspects of storage
system controllers are provided. In particular, multiple versions of
storage controller code are loaded into the physical memory of a storage
controller. The logical region in which a particular controller code
version is loaded may be designated in metadata as a primary, secondary
or other region. The controller code that is associated with a logical
version designated as the primary region is selected by the storage
controller for execution upon a storage controller reboot. Accordingly,
time consuming copy operations are not required in order to switch
between different versions of storage controller code.
