Regenerating codes is one class of erasure codes for distributed storage. A [n, k, d, α, β] regenerating code can recover the original message from any k out of n distributed storage nodes and repair any failed node from other arbitrary d nodes. α is the number of symbols stored in one node and β is the number of symbols downloaded by a newcomer node. Minimum storage regenerating(MSR) code is a regenerating code attaining the minimal storage requirement. In this paper, we address the design of a special MSR code where α = 2 and the first fragment of a node stores original symbol(we call it hybrid systematic MSR code or HS-MSR code). We point out that there exists no exact-repair construction when k 5. A simple exact linear construction is given when k = 2. Furthermore, by relaxing the condition of connecting any d nodes, we investigate the properties of quasi-cyclic regenerating code and propose a unified construction such that when k 3, repairing process can be achieved with less repair bandwidth by repair-by-transfer form.
