摘要： A mechanism is provided for migrating domains from one physical data processing system to another are provided. Domains may be assigned direct access to physical I/O devices but in the case of migration, the I/O devices may be converted to virtual I/O devices without service interruption. At this point, the domain may he migrated without limitation. Upon completion of the migration process, the domain may be converted back to using direct physical access, if available in the new data processing system to which the domain is migrated. Alternatively, the virtualized access to the I/O devices may continue to be used until the domain is migrated back to the original data processing system. Once migration back to the original data processing system is completed, the access may be converted back to direct access with the original physical I/O devices.

摘要： A method and computer program product for improving storage efficiency for a digital video recorder. In one embodiment, a determination is made as to whether television programming is being presented on a high definition channel or a standard definition channel. The television programming is recorded using the digital video recorder responsive to determining that the television programming is being presented on a standard definition channel without making any resolution changes to the television programming. A determination is made as to whether the content of the television programming originates in high definition or standard definition. When the television programming originates in standard definition, a determination is made as to whether a corresponding standard definition channel is available. Responsive to determining the corresponding channel is available, the television programming is recorded in standard definition from the corresponding channel. Otherwise, the television programming is downscaled on the high definition channel to a standard definition resolution.

摘要： A technique for storing or backing up data to a removable media such as a CD or DVD with an enhanced probability that such data can be successfully read or recovered from such media subsequent to the writing/storing/backing-up of the data. This enhanced probability is achieved by storing the data to be copied to the media in multiple different physical locations of the media, such that a plurality of duplicate copies of the data exists on the media. Because there are multiple copies of the data stored on the media, the probability of being able to successfully read at least one good copy of the data is enhanced. For example, if one of the copies cannot be successfully read due to an unrecoverable error, another of the copies can be used to satisfy the read or restore operation. It is also possible to read all copies of the data in response to a read/restore operation, and any differences in the read data will indicate an error with at least one of the copies. Selection of which copy to select and use to satisfy the read request is based on a vote, where the copies are matched against one another, and the copy having the most matches with other copies is deemed to be the good copy and is used to satisfy the read or restore operation.

摘要： A hypervisor receives a memory page checksum from a guest operating system, which corresponds to a page of memory utilized by the guest. Next, the hypervisor proceeds through a series of steps to detect that the memory page checksum matches a checksum value included in a checksum entry item, which includes an identifier of a different guest. In turn, the hypervisor shares the page of memory between the guest and the different guest in response to detecting that the memory page checksum matches the checksum value included the checksum entry item.

摘要： A method uses a record of I/O priorities in a determination of a storage medium of a hybrid storage system in which to store a file. The method maintains the record of I/O priorities by assigning an I/O temperature value to each request for access to the file based upon an I/O priority level of the process making the request. The method marks the file as hot if the file temperature value is greater than a threshold value. The method stores files marked as hot in a lower latency storage medium of the hybrid storage medium.
