    摘要: Mechanisms for managing data segments in a tiered storage system are provided. The mechanisms maintain at least one counter for each data segment in the tiered storage system. Each counter in the at least one counter counts a number of access operations to a corresponding data segment for a predetermined time interval. The mechanisms further perform one or more analytical operations based on one or more values of the at least one counter for each data segment to make residence determinations for each data segment. The mechanisms also adjust a storage location of one or more data segments in tiers of the tiered storage system to thereby move the one or more data segments to appropriate tiers of the tiered storage system based on results of the one or more analytical operations.

    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.

    摘要: Techniques for increased destaging efficiency by smoothing destaging tasks to reduce long input/output (I/O) read operations are described. A system may comprise a processor device operable in the computing storage environment. The processor device calculates a current number of the destaging tasks and calculates a desired number of the destaging tasks. The processor device smoothes the destaging of the of the destaging tasks between the desired number of the destaging tasks and the current number of the destaging tasks by accelerating the calculating of the current number of the destaging tasks and the desired number of the destaging tasks, according to either a time interval or a variable recomputed destaging task interval, for reaching the desired number of the destaging tasks by decrementing the current number of destaging tasks or incrementing the current number of destaging tasks.

    摘要: A method for allocating resources of a storage system including at least a first and second group of storage devices. The method identifies a first set of resources to be reserved for use by the first group of storage devices, identifies a second set of resources to be reserved for use by the second group of storage devices, and identifies a third set of resources The method then allocates resources from the third set of resources to the first group of storage devices or the second group of storage device according to an allocation algorithm, and restricts use of the first set of resources to the first group of devices and use of the second set of resources to the second group of devices.

    摘要: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for assigning device adaptors and background tasks to use to copy source extents to target extents in a copy relationship. A relation is provided of a plurality of source extents in source ranks to copy to a plurality of target extents in target ranks in the storage system. One target rank in the relation is used to determine an order in which the target ranks in the relation are selected to register for copying. For each selected target rank in the relation selected according to the determined order, an iteration of a registration operation is performed to register the selected target rank and a selected source rank copied to the selected target rank in the relation. The registration operation comprises indicating in a device adaptor assignment data structure a source device adaptor and target device adaptor to use to copy the selected rank to the selected target rank and adding an entry to a priority queue for the relation for the selected target rank. The selected source rank is copied to the selected target rank using as the source and target device adaptors indicated in the device adaptor assignment data structure for the selected target rank in response to processing the entry in the priority queue added to the priority queue for the selected target rank.

    摘要: A storage controller that includes a cache, receives a command from a host, wherein a set of criteria corresponding to read response times for executing the command have to be satisfied. A destage application that destages tracks based at least on recency of usage and spatial location of the tracks is executed, wherein a spatial ordering of the tracks is maintained in a data structure, and the destage application traverses the spatial ordering of the tracks. Tracks are destaged from at least inside or outside diameters of disks at periodic intervals, while traversing the spatial ordering of the tracks, wherein the set of criteria corresponding to the read response times for executing the command are satisfied.
