    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.

    摘要: Disclosed is a library of hard disk drives with transparent emulating interface. The hard disk drives are shelved in associated storage locations in the library. A library controller translates the logical address of a requested hard disk drive known to the requesting host computer to a physical address or location within the library. A picker preferably mounts the requested disk drive to a destination receptacle which may be part of a backplane of the library, and the controller accesses the hard disk drive. Library operation is transparent to the host computer, the library emulating a selected type of storage device.

    摘要: 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: Various embodiments for differentiating between data and stubs pointing to a parent copy of deduplicated data are provided. Undeduplicated data is stored with a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) seed. A stub pointing to the parent copy of the deduplicated data is stored with a second CRC seed. Subsequent to reading the deduplicated data, the first CRC seed is associated with the undeduplicated data, and the second CRC seed is associated with the stub. A CRC check is performed using one of the first and second CRC seeds. If the CRC check is positive, an I/O operation is allowed to proceed. If the CRC check is negative, an additional CRC check is performed using another one of the first and second CRC seeds.
