摘要:
Methods, apparatus and systems for data storage including initiating a destaging process in a storage system for destaging data from a cache to a mass storage device. Upon inputting a standby command to the storage system to inhibit the destaging of the data in a specified range, the destaging of the data in the specified range from the cache to the mass storage device is inhibited.
摘要:
Method, device and computer program product for support of maintaining a system. The method includes: evaluating a current system state and detecting a first lattice element corresponding to the current system state; locating at least one state improvement path, within a lattice that represents states of the system, between the first lattice element and a second lattice element representative of a target system state; determining, for at least one state improvement path, rules that should be satisfied in order to reach the system target state; and determining how to fulfill the rules associated with at least one state improvement path.

Provided are a method, system, and program for accessing a resource. Requests are generated to access a resource in a first access mode and a second access mode. The requests are processed to access the resource in the second mode before processing at least one request to access the resource in the first access mode. The processing of the requests to access the resource in the first access mode is delayed for a time period after processing all the requests to access the resource in the second access mode in order to wait to receive a subsequent request to access the resource in the second access mode.

A method for sending one or more telephone numbers between a first telephonic device and a second telephonic device while a telephone call is in progress comprises initiating a telephone call between a first telephonic device and a second telephonic device, entering a plurality of digits into a keypad of the first telephonic device to generate a plurality of dual-tone multi-frequency signals, measuring an elapsed time between the entry of each of the digits, comparing the elapsed time between the entry of each of the digits with a standard inter-digit time gap, determining a number of digit sequences entered based upon the comparison of the elapsed time between the entry of each of the digits and the standard inter-digit time gap, wherein the number of digit sequences entered corresponds with one or more telephone numbers, detecting the dual-tone multi-frequency signals with the digital signal processor of the second telephonic device, decoding the detected dual-tone multi-frequency signals with the digital signal processor in order determine the one or more telephone numbers typed into the keypad, storing the one or more decoded telephone numbers in the temporary memory of the second telephonic device, displaying the one or more telephone numbers on the display of the second telephonic device, terminating the telephone call between the first and second telephonic devices, accessing the one or more decoded telephone numbers stored in the temporary memory, and storing the one or more decoded telephone number in the non-volatile memory of the second telephonic device.
摘要:
A method for checking an alternative system test, the method includes: determining a relationship between (i) utilization of resources during an execution of a group of programs by a first system when operating in a non-testing mode and (ii) utilization of resources during an executive of an alternative system test by the alternative system; wherein the alternative system test comprises at least on program of the group of programs.
摘要:
A method for generating a storage policy, the method includes: receiving a storage system target function; and generating, by a machine learning entity, the storage policy in response to: (a) a set of file-related storage operation requests, (b) a state of the storage system before responding to the set of file-related storage operation requests, and (c) the storage system target function. A method for evaluating a storage policy, the method includes: simulating an application of the storage policy by the storage system during a first period, in response to a set of file-related storage operation requests that was provided to the storage system during the first period, to provide a simulation result; wherein the first period starts before the simulating.
摘要:
A method for storing an information block that includes determining to store a current version of an information block stored in a memory unit. The checking if a current version of the information is already stored in a storage unit. The current version of the information block is sent from the memory unit to the storage unit if the answer is negative. Generating storage unit location information indicative of a location, at the storage unit, of the current version of the information block if the answer is positive.
摘要:
A method for reconfiguring a storage system communicating with a host, consisting of the steps of formulating a proposed reconfiguration of the storage system from an original configuration, and generating a record of operations of the storage system during an evaluation period in the original configuration. In response to the record, the method further consists of making a determination whether data accessed by the host in the original configuration during the evaluation period would have been unavailable to the host if the proposed reconfiguration had been implemented prior to the evaluation period. In response to the determination, a decision is made whether to implement the proposed reconfiguration.
摘要:
A method and system for document form recognition are provided. A first instance of a document type (101) is processed to manually associate roles for each input data string with the format of the input data strings to provide predefined document types. When a subsequent instance of a document type (102) is input into the system, the format (123) of its input data strings (120) is determined and compared to the format (113) of the input data strings (110) of the manually predefined document types (115) to determine a matched document type (101). The input data strings (120) are associated with the roles (114) defined for corresponding input data strings (110) of the matched predefined document type (101).
摘要:
Provided are a method, system, and program for forming a consistency group of data. Information is provided on a consistency group relationship indicating a plurality of slave controllers and, for each indicated slave controller, a slave storage unit managed by the slave controller. A command is transmitted to each slave controller in the consistency group relationship to cause each slave controller to transmit data in the slave storage unit to a remote storage in a manner that forms the consistency group. A determination is made as to whether all the slave controllers successfully transmitted the data in the slave storage units that is part of the consistency group to the remote storage.
