Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for preemptively allocating extents to a data set in a storage system. A data set is comprised of a plurality of extents configured in at least one volume in the storage system. A first extent is allocated to the data set in a first volume to extend the data set. A determination is made as to whether a second extent can be allocated to the data set in the first volume in response to the allocating of the first extent. The second extent in a second volume is allocated for the data set in response to determining that the second extent cannot be allocated to the data set in the first volume.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for selecting pages implementing leaf nodes and internal nodes of a data set index for reuse in memory. Pages in the memory are allocated to internal nodes and leaf nodes of a tree data structure representing all or a portion of a data set index for the data set, wherein the leaf nodes include information on members of the data set. The internal nodes include one or more keys used to traverse the tree data structure to reach the leaf nodes to access the members of the data set. At least one page allocated to the leaf nodes and the internal nodes is selected based on durations during which the allocated pages have not been used. Pages allocated to the leaf nodes are selected for reuse at a higher rate than the pages allocated to the internal nodes.
摘要:
A method, system and computer readable medium that identify orphan storage and release the orphaned storage before application or system outages can result. More specifically, in certain embodiments, a method, system and computer readable medium periodically scan through common memory storage and identifies those areas that are no longer associated with a running task or have been allocated for longer than a running task with a matching task address. These areas are then identified as potentially orphaned storage locations.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing traces to capture data for memory regions in a memory. A trace includes a monitor parameter used by a trace procedure to monitor data in a memory device. A frequency is determined at which the trace procedure monitors the memory device. The trace procedure is invoked at the determined frequency to perform trace procedure operations comprising determining a region in the memory device according to the monitor parameter and copying data in the determined region to trace data in a data space.
摘要:
An approach that allows for replicating data sets that have different attributes. A logical copy operation may not be possible from a source data set to a target data set due to differences between their respective attributes. The source data set may have obsolete attributes that prevent a logical copy to a target data set with supported attributes. The presented solution may involve allocating an intermediate data set with the same attributes as the source data set. The intermediate data set may be allocated with the same obsolete attributes as the source data set. The approach may also involve executing a logical copy operation from the source data set to the intermediate data set. A standard copy operation that reformats the data may be executed on the intermediate data set to the target data set.

Various embodiments for preserving data set information in a computing storage environment are provided. In one such embodiment, at least one of a selected portion of an index record of the dataset is stored as a record in a subindex data set. The at least one component of the subindex data set is recoverable into the index record in an event of an error detected within the index record.

In one embodiment, a method for handling an error message includes interrogating an error message issued by a computing system to determine that the error message includes more than an alarm message, determining a message identifier relating to the error message, comparing the message identifier to entries in a database to determine an entry in the database that includes the message identifier, and outputting a set of documentation referenced by the entry in the database which includes the message identifier. In another embodiment, the database includes a plurality of searchable entries, each entry including: a message identifier, a product identifier, a set of documentation, and a set of actions. The set of documentation includes documents for the computing system to output and the set of actions includes actions for the computing system to perform. Other methods, systems, and computer program products are also described according to various embodiments.

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for allowing writes to complete without obtaining a write lock to a file. A lock is provided to a first request, comprising a read or write request, to access the file. A second write request is received while the first request maintains the lock. A temporary file associated with the file for the second write request is created. The second write request is controlled to write to the temporary file while the lock is held by the first request. In response to completing the first request, the lock is granted to the second write request to write the data in the temporary file to the file.
