摘要:
Castout processing for duplexed data structures. A selective data item is written from a primary instance of a data structure to at least one storage medium. A determination is made as to whether the selective data item can be deleted from a secondary instance of the data structure. If the selective data item can be deleted, it is deleted from the secondary instance.
摘要:
Coupling facility store-in cache structures are duplexed in order to improve data availability. That is, once duplexing is established, selective data is written to both a primary structure instance and a secondary structure instance. Thus, if one of the structure instances fails, then the other structure instance is used in order to prevent data from being lost. Duplexing can be started manually and/or automatically by the operating system. Further, a structure may be removed from duplex mode and enter simplex mode, if duplexing is not desired.
