摘要： One or more background processes that references data storage volumes and cylinders that are to be scrubbed to ensure the integrity of the data stored thereon. A priority scrubbing process is also available to note data storage volumes that have recently had data written thereon by the host processor and which require a more timely review of the data than less frequently used volumes.

摘要： A pair of operationally independent disk drive array data storage subsystems are used to emulate one or more physical devices shared between two control modules. The storage control units of the two data storage subsystems are interconnected by at least one data link to exchange control and data signals therebetween. The storage control units of both data storage subsystems are synchronized to maintain identical virtual device images of certain assigned virtual devices both of the data storage subsystems wherein the duplicated data records of the single virtual device are stored. The data records are therefore stored in available memory on both of the two data storage subsystems. Data is exchanged over the data link to maintain consistency of the two sets of mapping tables.

摘要： A data storage subsystem dynamically maps a virtual data storage device image presented to associated processors to physical data storage devices used to implement the data storage subsystem. Multiple destage memory elements are concurrently active to increase an aggregate destage data transfer rate and to allow data to be stored on various memory elements appropriate to the type of data contained in each stored virtual object. An open logical cylinder list is used to maintain data integrity among multiple open destage memory elements. Memory elements are also selected to function as archive memory. The data storage subsystem includes a plurality of data storage elements configured into at least two redundancy groups, each redundancy group including n+m of the data storage elements, and a cache memory connected to the redundancy groups and a host processor interface. The data storage subsystem stores data indicative of the amount of available memory space on each of the open logical cylinders and little used data records are migrated or transferred from other memory elements to the archive memory elements to maintain sufficient available memory space.

摘要： The disk drive array data storage subsystem maps between virtual and physical data storage devices and schedules the writing of data to these devices. The data storage subsystem functions as a conventional large form factor disk drive memory, using an array of redundancy groups, each containing N+M disk drives. This system copies data records by simply creating a duplicate data record pointer in a virtual track directory to reference the original data record. This enables the host processor to access the data record via two virtual addresses while only a single physical copy of the data record resides in the data storage subsystem.

摘要： This file server system appears to the host computer to be a plurality of data storage devices which are directly addressable by the host computer using the native data management and access structures of the host computer. The file server however is an intelligent data storage subsystem that defines, manages and accesses synchronized sets of data and maintains these synchronized sets of data external from the host computer system's data management facilities in a manner that is completely transparent to the host computer. This is accomplished by the use of the snapshot application data group that extends the traditional sequential data set processing concept of generation data groups.

摘要： The use of a dynamically mapped virtual memory system permits the storage of data so that each data record occupies only the physical space required for the data. Furthermore, the data storage subsystem manages the allocation of physical space on the disk drives and does not rely on the file extent defined in the count key data format. Data compaction apparatus is provided to remove the gaps contained in the stream of count key data records received from the host processor. A data compression algorithm is then used to compress the received data into a compressed format for storage on the disk drives. It is the compacted, compressed data that is finally stored on the disk drives. Furthermore, any data record received from the host processor absent data in the user data field therein is simply listed in the virtual memory map as a null field occupying no physical space on the disk drives. The data storage control, through its mapping capability, stores the actual data in the minimum physical space required by overcoming the limitations imposed on large form factor disk drives by the use of count key data format data records. However, the data storage subsystem returns this stored data to the host processor in count key data format through a data record reformatting process once the stored compacted compressed data is staged to the cache memory for access by the host processor. The data storage subsystem is operationally independent of the host processor, yet performs as if it were a standard operationally dependent large form factor disk subsystem.
摘要翻译： 使用动态映射的虚拟内存系统允许数据的存储，使得每个数据记录仅占用数据所需的物理空间。 此外，数据存储子系统管理磁盘驱动器上的物理空间的分配，并且不依赖于以计数密钥数据格式定义的文件大小。 提供数据压缩装置以去除从主机处理器接收的计数密钥数据记录流中包含的间隙。 然后使用数据压缩算法将接收到的数据压缩成压缩格式，以便存储在磁盘驱动器上。 压缩的压缩数据最终存储在磁盘驱动器上。 此外，从主机处理器接收到的任何数据记录，其中没有用户数据字段中的数据，在虚拟存储器映射中被简单地列为在磁盘驱动器上不占用物理空间的空字段。 通过其映射能力，数据存储控制通过使用计数密钥数据格式数据记录将实际数据存储在克服大尺寸磁盘驱动器上的限制所需的最小物理空间中。 然而，一旦所存储的压缩压缩数据被暂存到高速缓冲存储器以供主机处理器访问，数据存储子系统通过数据记录重新格式化过程将该存储的数据以计数密钥数据格式返回到主机处理器。 数据存储子系统在操作上独立于主机处理器，但是其作为标准的操作依赖大型磁盘子系统执行。

摘要： This apparatus makes use of a disk drive array to store data records for an associated host processor. This disk drive array emulates the operation of a large form factor disk drive by using a plurality of interconnected small form factor disk drives. These small form factor disk drives are configured into redundancy groups, each of which contains n+m disk drives for storing data records and redundancy information thereon. The use of this configuration is significantly more reliable than a large form factor disk drive. However, in order to maintain compatibility with host processors that request the duplex copy group feature, the phantom duplex copy group apparatus of the present invention mimics the creation of a duplex copy group in this dynamically mapped data storage subsystem using a disk array and a phantom set of pointers that mimic the data storage devices on which the data records are stored.

摘要： The parallel disk drive array data storage subsystem dynamically maps between virtual and physical data storage devices and schedules the writing of data to these devices. The data storage subsystem functions as a conventional large form factor disk drive memory, using an array of redundancy groups, each containing N+M disk drives. The data storage subsystem does not modify data stored in a redundancy group but simply writes the modified data as a new record in available memory space on another redundancy group. The original data is flagged as obsolete. A mapping table is maintained to identify portions of these redundancy groups which contain newly written or modified virtual track instances. These marked virtual track instances are written to backup medium as a background process and the mapping table is updated to clear the flags that identify these virtual track instances as having been modified.
