    摘要: Provided are a method, system and program for processing complexes to access shared devices. A lock to a plurality of shared devices is maintained and accessible to a first and second processing systems. The first processing complex determines a first delay time and the second processing complex determines a second delay time. The first processing complex issues a request for the lock in response to expiration of the first delay time and the second processing complex issues a request for the lock in response to expiration of the second delay time.

    摘要: A method is disclosed to transfer information from a first information storage and retrieval system to a second information storage and retrieval system. The method provides a first information storage and retrieval system comprising a first track size and a plurality of first tracks, and a second information storage and retrieval system comprising a second track size and a plurality of second tracks. The method determines if the first track size is greater than the second track size. If the method determines that the first track size is greater than said second track size, then the method sets a ratio (R) equal to the first track size divided by the second track size, provides the (i)th first track from the first information storage and retrieval system to the second information storage and retrieval system, provides (R) second tracks, and maps the (i)th first track onto the (R) second tracks.

    摘要: A RAID system employs a storage controller, a primary storage array having a plurality of primary storage units, and a spare storage pool having one or more spare storage units. A method of operating the storage controller in managing the primary storage array and the spare storage pool involves a testing by the storage controller of at least one repair service threshold representative of one or more operational conditions indicative of a necessity to repair at least one of the primary storage array and the spare storage unit, and a selective initiation by the storage controller of a repair service action for repairing one of the primary storage array and the spare storage unit based on the testing of the at least one repair service threshold.

    摘要: A back-up power source and a back-up storage device are utilized to power a processor and a volatile memory device during a primary power failure. An emergency data-storage algorithm is invoked to create a table of modified data analogous to data residing in a non-volatile memory device associated with a different processor. This table of modified data is written to the back-up storage device.

    摘要: A method for storing customer data at a non-volatile storage (NVS) at a storage server. A track buffer is maintained for identifying first and second sets of segments that are allocated in the NVS. A flag in the track buffer identifies which of the first and second sets of segments to use for storing customer data for which a write request has been made. The customer data is stored in the NVS in successive commit processes. Following a power loss in the storage server, the NVS uses the track buffer information to identify which of the first and second sets of segments was involved in the current commit process to allow the current commit process to be completed.

    摘要: An apparatus, method, and system associates an identifier with a data packet. The identifier uniquely identifies a communication module, such as a host interface card, within a data storage system. In operation, a computer host sends a data packet to a server. The communication module receives the data packet and associates an identifier, unique to the communication module, with the data packet. The data packet is stored in a disk array, such as a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) system. When the computer host later requests the stored data packet, a validation module, which may be implemented within a PCI adapter such as a host interface card, retrieves the data packet and determines whether the data packet is corrupt. If the data packet is corrupt, the validation module identifies which host interface card corrupted the data with the use of the unique identifier associated with the data packet. The faulty communication module may then be removed from operation in the data storage system.

    摘要: A data coherence system includes a generation number written to a data track of a logical sub-system. The generation number is compared to a corresponding generation number in a processing device when it is initialized. If the two generations numbers are the same, the generation numbers are incremented and saved. If not, cache associated with the logical sub-system residing within the processing device is erased and the generation numbers are reset.
