    摘要: Logical data stores are placed on storages to minimize store request time. The stores are sorted. A store counter and a storage counter are each set to one. (A), (B), and (C) are repeated until the storage counter exceeds the number of storages within the array. (A) is setting a load for the storage specified by the storage counter to zero. (B) is performing (i), (ii), and (iii) while the load for the storage specified by the storage counter is less an average determined load over all the storages. (i) is allocating the store specified by the store counter to the storage specified by the storage counter; and, (ii) is incrementing the load for this storage by this storage's request arrival rate multiplied by an expected service time for the requests of this store. (iii) is incrementing the store counter by one. (C) is incrementing the storage counter by one.

    摘要: Provided are methods, apparatus and computer programs for scheduling storage input and/or output (I/O) requests. A method for scheduling storage access requests determines a request processing sequence calculated to maximize SLA-based revenues achievable from processing a number of requests. A storage controller includes a scheduler which implements a revenue-based scheduling function to determine a revenue-maximizing processing sequence, and then assigns storage access requests to locations in a queue corresponding to the determined sequence. In an on-line mode, the scheduler can adapt to additional received requests, evaluating the revenue function for the additional requests and modifying the schedule if required. The method may include analysing a request stream to predict requests that are likely to be received in the near future, and taking account of the predicted requests when determining a processing schedule.

    摘要: The embodiments of the invention provide a method of identifying a recovery point in a continuous data protection (CDP) log. More specifically, the method begins by detecting corrupted data in the CDP log and identifying the nature of corruption. Next, the nature of corruption is mapped to applications to identify components that may have caused the corrupted data. The method then finds a time instance of uncorrupted data in the components. Specifically, this can include searching CDP log entries in an order independent of log event age. Alternatively, the process of finding the time instance can include creating a data image of a first copy of uncorrupted data and sequentially apply entries of the CDP log until the corrupted data is reached.
