A mechanism is provided for optimizing migration/copying of de-duplicated data from an internal storage system to a removable storage system. A preliminary number of clusters to be generated are determined for sets of data objects stored on the internal storage system based on a number of the sets of data objects. The preliminary number of clusters is generated based on shortest distances between the sets of data objects, each cluster comprising one or more sets of data objects and each set of data objects comprising one or more chunks of data. A chosen cluster is identified from a set of clusters by identifying a cluster having a greatest number of common chunks within as few sets of data objects. Responsive to an export-size of the chosen cluster failing to exceed the available storage capacity of the removable storage system, the chosen cluster is exported to the removable storage system.

A Blu-ray Disc™ optical disk for video and/or audio applications comprises a data layer having in-pits recessed into a surface of at least one data layer and on-pits elevated above the surface of at least one data layer, and further having a substrate layer disposed on each data layer. The in-pits and the on-pits may be disposed in the same data layer or on different data layers. The in-pits and the on-pits are indistinguishable from each other when read using an optical drive, and the in-pits and the on-pits are observable by SEM cross-section of the data layer of the Blu-ray Disc™ optical disk. A method for anti-piracy tagging a Blu-ray Disc™ optical disk by patterning a data layer to have in-pits and on-pits is also provided, wherein the in-pits and the on-pits are indistinguishable from each other when read using an optical drive, and are observable by SEM.

A servo track has identical servo pattern frames including two pairs of parallel magnetic transitions, the transitions of each pair spaced apart an equal distance, the transitions of the first pair at an azimuth angle to the longitudinal axis of the tape, the transitions of the second pair at an opposite azimuth angle. A servo channel receives signals at first times corresponding to when a servo read head detects the first and second transitions of the first pair of parallel transitions of a servo pattern frame, and second times corresponding to when the servo read head detects the first and second transitions of the second pair of parallel transitions. The servo channel determines a relative lateral movement and velocity between the tape and the tape head based on the azimuth angle and the ratio of the difference of the first and the difference of the second times.

Retention management for data stored in data blocks on a tape is provided. A block mapping table has entries each of which include an expiration date for data blocks stored on the tape. The entries of the block mapping table may be sorted in accordance with at least one sorting criterion. Data blocks on the tape are rearranged according to the block mapping table. The block mapping table is then stored, either on the tape or in a memory associated with the tape.

A method of controlling access to an automated media library receives a request for access to the library from an individual having an identity. Access may include importing media to the library, exporting media from the library, and opening a locked door to a cabinet containing the library. If the access includes the importing media, the method moves a robotic media handler to a locked import/export station. If the access includes exporting media, the method moves the requested media to the locked import/export station. If the access includes the opening the door, the method takes a first inventory of the media in the library. The method authenticates the identity of the individual and determines an access level associated with the individual. If the access level is insufficient for the requested access, the method denies the requested access and issues an alert. If the access level is sufficient for the requested access, the method determines if the requested access requires a second authentication. If a second authentication is required, the method prompts the individual to perform the second authentication. If the second authentication is verified, the method logs the access by the individual and grants the access. If the access is granted and the access is importing or exporting media, the method unlocks the import/export station. If the access is granted and the access is opening the door, the method unlocks the door. The method closes and locks the import/export station a predetermined length of time after unlocking the import/export station. The method locks the door a predetermined length of time after unlocking the door and takes a second inventory of the media. The method issues an alert if the second inventory differs from the first inventory.

A method for managing power consumed by storage systems and other devices is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, such a method may include initially monitoring conditions (such as data traffic conditions) on a communication link between a first device and a second device. The method may further include determining whether the conditions on the communication link warrant powering down or powering up the second device. In the event the conditions warrant powering down the second device, a power-down command may be generated and transmitted from the first device to the second device. In the event the conditions warrant powering up the second device, a power-up command may be generated and transmitted from the first device to the second device. In selected embodiments, the power-up and power-down commands are one of SCSI commands and FICON commands. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer-usable medium are also disclosed and claimed herein.
摘要:
A data tape drive for recording information on the data tape of a tape cartridge has a transducer head with air bleed slots that define side walls, a tape guide, and a device for detecting damage to the transducer head and tape guide. The damage detection device has a conductor loop that is located along the outer edges of the air bleed slots and tape guide for detecting any brittle fracture damage that may be present. The conductor loop is a thin filament of wire that is preferably attached to the ends of the side walls. When the transducer head or tape guide experiences a fracture, such as a fracture in one of the side walls, the delicate filament breaks and forms an open circuit. The open circuit in the conductor loop is detected by the data tape drive so that remedial actions can be taken. Without the damage detection device, large quantities of the data tape moving past the transducer head and/or tape guide would be scraped over or gouged by the fracture and permanently damaged, including loss of the information recorded on the data tape.
