    摘要: A method for automatically optimizing an allocation amount for a data set includes receiving an extend request, specifying an allocation amount, for a data set in a storage pool. The method increments a counter in response to receiving the extend request. In the event the counter has reached a threshold value, the method automatically increases the allocation amount of the extend request, such as by multiplying the allocation amount by a multiplier. In the event the allocation amount is larger than a largest free extent in the storage pool, the method automatically decreases the allocation amount of the extend request to correspond to the largest available free extent. Such a method reduces or eliminates the chance that an extend request will fail, and reduces overhead associated with extending and consolidating extents. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

    摘要: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an alias volume name for a volume to allocate space to a data set. An assignment of a plurality of volumes to a data set is maintained, wherein the volumes are configured in a storage system. A request is received to extend the data set. A determination is made as to whether one of the volumes previously assigned to the data set has an allocation amount of available space in the storage system in response to the request to extend the data set. An alias volume name is assigned to the data set for the previously assigned volume determined to have the allocation amount of available space, wherein the alias volume name provides an alternative name for the previously assigned volume. The allocation amount of available space is assigned to the data set for the alias volume name.

    摘要: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for recovering a volume table and data sets from a corrupted volume. Data corruption is detected in a volume having data sets. A volume table having information on the data sets allocated in the volume is diagnosed. A backup volume table comprising a most recent valid backup of the volume table is accessed from a backup of the volume in response to determining that the diagnosed volume table is not valid. Content from the backup volume table is processed to bring to a current state in a recovery volume table for a recovery volume. The data sets in the volume are processed to determine whether they are valid. The valid data sets are moved to the recovery volume. A data recovery operation is initiated for the data sets determined not to be valid.

    摘要: Various embodiments for adaptive reorganization of a virtual storage access method (VSAM) data set are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, upon each control interval (CI) split of a plurality of CI splits occurring over a period of time, historical data including a key value for a record causing each CI split is recorded in a data repository. The historical data is analyzed with a predictive algorithm to determine an amount of free space to be allocated to each of a plurality of control intervals generated pursuant to the adaptive reorganization. The predictive algorithm allocates a greater percentage of the free space to a first location of the VVDS having a larger proportion of historically placed key values than a second location of the VVDS having a smaller proportion of the historically placed key values.

    摘要: An approach to efficient data reorganization. The approach may involve searching for control interval (CI) splits and control area (CA) splits in a data component of a VSAM data set. A mapping is created that maps the source location storing the VSAM data set to a target location. The mapping reorders the VSAM data set such that the CI splits and CA splits are removed when the VSAM data set is moved to the target location in accordance with the mapping. Those CAs that do not include CI splits may be moved without using the host devices' processing resources. For example, the storage device may FlashCopy these areas directly from the source location to the target location. Those CAs that do include CI splits may be moved using the host's processing resources. For example, these CAs may be read into the host, re-ordered by the host, and written by the host to the target location.
