    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and program for handling a fabric failure. A module intercepts a signal indicating a failure of a path in a fabric providing a connection to a shared device. The module generates an interrupt to a device driver in an operating system providing an interface to the shared device that is inaccessible due to the path failure. The device driver requests information from the module on a status of a plurality of devices that are not accessible due to the path failure and receives information indicating the inaccessible device. The device driver reconfigures to discontinue use of the inaccessible device.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for adapter card failover. A switch module connects a first processor complex to an adapter card through a first port as an owner processor complex. The owner processor complex manages the adapter card except for a second port and receives error messages from the adapter card. The switch module further connects a second processor complex to the adapter card through the second port as a non-owner processor complex. The non-owner processor complex manages the second port. A detection module detects a failure of the first processor complex. A setup module modifies the switch module to logically connect the second processor complex to the adapter card as the owner processor complex and to logically disconnect the first processor complex from the adapter card in response to detecting the failure.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for concurrently relocating a RAID array. The apparatus includes an identification module, a designation module, and an implementation module. The identification module identifies an availability of a physical device within a donor arrayed storage device to offload a source drive of a relocation enclosure. The designation module designates an available physical device as a target drive and thereby designate the target drive and the source drive as a linked pair;. The implementation module implements a mirroring relationship between the target drive and the source drive. The apparatus, system, and method provide a dynamic relocation of the raid array, minimizing system downtime and maximizing efficient utilization of system resources.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, deployment and article of manufacture, for variable length file entry navigation. In one embodiment, a first file entry size portion of a first entry marker at a first end of a file entry is read. A position of a second entry marker at a second end of the file entry may be calculated as a function of the first file entry size portion. A determination may be made as to whether file data at the calculated position is a second entry marker, and if so whether the file data between said first and second entry markers is a valid entry by comparing the first entry size portion of the first entry marker to a second file entry size portion of the second entry marker. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A method for efficiently using a large secondary cache is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, such a method may include accumulating, in a secondary cache, a plurality of data tracks. These data tracks may include modified data and/or unmodified data. The method may determine if a subset of the plurality of data tracks makes up a full stride. In the event the subset makes up a full stride, the method may destage the subset from the secondary cache. By destaging full strides, the method reduces the number of disk operations that are required to destage data from the secondary cache. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also disclosed herein.

    摘要: Provided are techniques for receiving an error inject script that describes one or more error inject scenarios that define under which conditions at least one error inject is to be executed and compiling the error inject script to output an error inject data structure. While executing code that includes the error inject, an indication that an event has been triggered is received, conditions defined in the one or more error inject scenarios are evaluated using the error inject data structure, and, for each of the conditions that evaluates to true, one or more actions defined in the error inject script for the condition are performed.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing a no context switch attribute that allows a user mode thread to become a near interrupt disabled priority is disclosed. A thread includes a no context switch attribute. Control of a thread based on the no context switch attribute is much more efficient than the real-time priority because the no context switch attribute bypasses the overhead of scheduling. Moreover, the no context switch attribute may be used to detect whether a thread performs any undesirable operations that can cause the thread to become suspended while in a critical section. The no context switch attribute is configurable to indicate whether execution of the thread can be suspended.
