    Abstract: In some examples, a management system receives, from a first storage system, first port information of ports in the first storage system, and receives, from a second storage system, second port information of ports in a second storage system. The management system merges the first port information from the first storage system and the second port information from the second storage system into merged port information. The management system receives, from the first storage system, a request for port information of ports in the second storage system, and sends, to the first storage system, the second port information for use in path selection from hosts to the first and second storage systems.

    Abstract: In some examples, an adapter device includes a bridge to determine that a storage device includes a plurality of bus controllers, where the plurality of bus controllers are communicatively coupled to respective adapter devices. The bridge determines a quantity of supported connections over the network to the storage device, and in response to determining that the storage device comprises the plurality of bus controllers, the bridge computes an identifier based on the quantity of supported connections and to which respective bus controller of the plurality of bus controllers the adapter device is connected, and assigns the identifier to a connection from the host to the storage device.

    Abstract: A method comprising: determining, by a tape library, respective tape densities supported by each of a plurality of tape drives and respective tape densities indicated for each of a plurality of tape cartridges; receiving, by the tape library, a command to load a given one of the tape cartridges into a given one of the tape drives; determining, by the tape library, that the indicated tape density for the given tape cartridge matches a tape density supported by the given tape drive; and in response to the determination that the tape densities match, configuring, by the tape library, the given tape drive to initialize the given tape cartridge to the tape density indicated for the given tape cartridge.

    Abstract: Examples include replication based on a differential multiple write command. Examples include receipt, via a storage protocol path, of a differential multiple write command that specifies to store provided data to a first address range at the first storage array and to a different second address range of a second storage array, generation of storage-processed data representing the provided data in a different form than the provided data, and replication, via a replication path, the storage-processed data from the first storage array to the second storage array.

    Abstract: In some examples, a storage system includes a controller to receive a request for a data encryption key from the host system, in response to the request, retrieve, from a key manager system, the data encryption key for the host system, and encrypt the data encryption key retrieved from the key manager system using a first key, to produce an encrypted data encryption key. The controller sends the encrypted data encryption key to the host system, and receives, from the host system, encrypted data encrypted using the data encryption key.
