    摘要: A determination is made as to whether a configuration indicator associated with a resource indicates a delayed configuration of the resource, wherein the resource is shared by a plurality of processing complexes via a bus, and wherein if the delayed configuration of the resource is indicated then the resource is prevented from being configured during initial program loads of the plurality of processing complexes. The resource is configured by only one of the of plurality of processing complexes that shares the resource, in response to determining that the configuration indicator associated with the resource indicates the delayed configuration of the resource.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for storing and retrieving compressed data. A compression module compresses a data file organized in logical tracks. A ratio module determines a track compression ratio. The track compression ratio is a ratio of an integer value n to one. A destage module destages a single directory entry for the data file to a directory. The directory entry points to a zeroth track on a hard disk drive. The destage module further destages the data file sequentially to tracks of the hard disk drive from the zeroth track with n logical tracks of the data file stored on one physical track of the hard disk drive. A stage module stages a kth logical track from a physical track of the hard disk drive. The physical track is specified by an integer value of k divided by n.

    摘要: A dual cluster storage server maintains track control blocks (TCBs) in a data structure to describe the data stored in cache in corresponding track images or segments. Following a cluster failure and reboot, the surviving cluster uses the TCBs to rebuild data structures such as a scatter table, which is a hash table that identifies a location of a track image, and a least recently used (LRU)/most recently used (MRU) list for the track images. This allows the cache data to be recovered. The TCBs describe whether the data in the track images is modified and valid, and describe forward and backward pointers for the data in the LRU/MRU lists. A separate non-volatile memory that is updated as the track images are updated is used to verify the integrity of the TCBs.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for copying data from a volatile memory device to a plurality of persistent storage devices in response to a loss of primary power. The apparatus includes a section module, a stripe module, and a write module. The section module sections a data image of a write cache into a plurality of data blocks. The stripe module establishes a plurality of data stripes from the plurality of data blocks. The write module writes in parallel each of the plurality of data stripes to a corresponding plurality of unique, persistent data storage devices in response to a loss of line power to the write cache. Advantageously, the apparatus quickly copies the write data from the write cache to a persistent memory device in a relatively short period of time, decreasing the dependence on significant batteries to back up the volatile memory device.

    摘要: A method to rebuild an NVS image is disclosed. The method provides information to a first cluster of an information storage and retrieval system, and writes that information to a non-volatile storage device disposed in a second cluster. Upon losing utility power to all or part of the information storage and retrieval system, the method provides back-up power to a processor and a data cache, and determines if the information written to the second non-volatile storage device is accessible. If the information written to the second non-volatile storage device is accessible, then the method copies the image of that second non-volatile storage device to an external storage device. If the information written to said second non-volatile storage device is not accessible, then the method creates a virtual NVS image using the information disposed in a local data cache, and copies that virtual NVS image to an external storage device.
