    摘要: A data storage system comprises a controller, a first lower performance storage medium and a second higher performance storage medium. The controller is connected to the storage mediums and is arranged to control I/O access to the storage mediums. The controller is further arranged to store an image on the first storage medium, initiate a copy function from the first storage medium to the second storage medium, direct all I/O access for the image to the second storage medium, periodically age data from the second storage medium to the first storage medium, create a new empty bitmap for each period, and in response to an I/O access for data in the image, update the latest bitmap to indicate that the data has been accessed and update the previous bitmaps to indicate that the data has not been accessed.

    摘要: A data storage system comprises a controller, a first lower performance storage medium and a second higher performance storage medium. The controller is connected to the storage mediums and is arranged to control Input/Output (IO) access to the storage mediums. In operation, the controller is arranged to store an image on the first storage medium, initiate a copy function from the first storage medium to the second storage medium, direct all IO access for the image to the second storage medium, and periodically age data from the second storage medium to the first storage medium.

    摘要: A storage network includes a path processor for directing data onto one of two or more paths between an application host and two or more storage controllers in a storage subsystem. To determine a data path within the storage network, the operational status of a storage controller in the storage subsystem is monitored. It is determined whether a change in the operational status of the storage controller is a failure or a potential failure. This determination is sent to the path processor. The path processor redirects application host data from the path controller on the basis of the determination.

    摘要: In a stacked system, errors detected at a user application interface of one or more host systems are associated with root cause errors at a stack level below a virtualization layer by detecting an error at a user application interface; identifying an associated root cause error at a lower stack level; creating an error trace entry for the error; associating an error log identifier with the error trace entry; making the combined error log identifier and the error trace entry into an error identifier that is unique within the plurality of host systems in said stacked system; and communicating the error identifier to any requester of a service at a user application interface of one or more host systems when the service must be failed because of the root cause error.
