摘要： An apparatus, system, and method for managing and formatting data in an autonomous data transfer operation are provided. An initialization module is configured to prepare metadata corresponding to a data source. A loader loads autonomous operation instructions corresponding to the data source into a first location and loads autonomous operation instructions corresponding to the metadata into a second location. An assembler selectively assembles, according to a set of formatting rules, autonomous operation instructions from the first location and the second location into a set of autonomous operation instructions. By assembling an ordered set of autonomous operation instructions, a third party autonomous operation may effectively insert metadata into and remove metadata from a contiguous data stream of a data source without altering the data.

摘要： A performance manager and method for managing the performance of a computer system based on a system model that includes measured entities representing the operational characteristics of the system components and relationships among the measured entities. The performance manager includes data producers for interacting with the interface agents of the components, an engine for exchanging information with the data producers and the system model, and an interaction model for determining relevant measured entities in the system model. The system model and interaction model are maintained in a repository where data might be accessed via an access interface. Incoming performance data is analyzed by an analyzer in the background to detect trends and relationships among the entities. An operator might review the relevant entities and apply controls to selected entities to manage the overall system performance as well as to resolve problems affecting the performance of the components in the system.

摘要： A method and system for optimizing the performance of a storage system by classifying each client request for resources based on operational limits of the resources and controlling when to submit the request for processing based on service class. The operational limits are determined from performance characteristics of the system resources and from the level of performance guaranteed to each client. By regulating the clients' usage of resources using the resource operational limits, total system performance requirements and guarantees can be achieved.

摘要： A system for utilizing informed throttling to guarantee quality of service to a plurality of clients includes a server core having a performance analyzer that compares a performance level received by a client to a corresponding contracted service level and determines if the client qualifies as a victim whose received performance level is less than the corresponding contracted service level. The performance analyzer is further configured to identify one or more candidates for throttling in response to an I/O stream receiving insufficient resources by determining if the client qualifies as a candidate whose received performance level is better than the corresponding contracted service level. The server core further includes a scheduler that selectively and dynamically issues a throttling command to the candidate client, and provides a quality of service enforcement point by concurrently monitoring a plurality of I/O streams to candidate clients and concurrently throttling commands to the candidate clients.
