摘要: Provided is a method for correcting untrusted data and avoiding logical device swapping for at least one logical subsystem of at least one computer system. A processor may monitor a primary storage for one or more errors that indicate untrusted data on the primary storage. An error indicating that a data set on the primary storage is an untrusted data set may be identified. In response to the error being identified, a corresponding uncompromised version of the data set may be read from a secondary storage. The corresponding uncompromised version of the data set may be written over the untrusted data set on the primary storage.

摘要: A method for dynamically tuning I/O performance is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes identifying various stages of an I/O process. The method further monitors progress of an I/O operation as it advances through the stages of the I/O process. The method records, in a data structure associated with the I/O operation, timing information indicating time spent in each of the stages. This timing information may include, for example, entry and exit times of the I/O operation relative to each of the stages. In the event the I/O operation exceeds a maximum allowable time spent in one or more of the stages, the method automatically adjusts an allocation of computing resources to one or more stages of the I/O process. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

摘要: A method for limiting I/O access in shared storage systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes establishing, for a volume, a list of address spaces that are authorized to access the volume. The method further receives an I/O request to access the volume and determines whether the I/O request originates from one of the address spaces identified in the list. If the I/O request originates from one of the address spaces in the list, the method passes the I/O request to the volume. If, on the other hand, the I/O request does not originate from one of the address spaces in the list, the method blocks the I/O request. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

摘要: A method for collecting diagnostic information associated with an I/O error is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting an error associated with an input/output (I/O) operation. The method determines whether the error can be re-driven and, if so, enables various diagnostic functions to improve collection of diagnostic information. The method then immediately re-drives the I/O operation associated with the error in order to recreate the error. Using the diagnostic functions that have been enabled, the method captures diagnostic information associated with the recreated error. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

摘要: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for after swapping from a first storage to a second storage, mirroring data from the second storage to the first storage for data in the first storage that experienced data errors. A swap operation redirects host Input/Output (I/O) requests to data from the first server to the second server in response to a health condition at the first server. A determination is made of data errors with respect to data in the first storage that experienced data errors. The second server is instructed to mirror data in the second storage to the first server including data for the data in the first storage that experienced the data errors to store in the first storage in response to determining that the first server is available for the data mirroring operations.

摘要: Provided is a method for correcting pinned data in a primary storage. A primary storage controller may detect a pinned data set on a primary storage. In response to detecting the pinned data set, the primary storage controller may instruct a secondary storage controller to transmit a copy of the pinned data set to the primary storage controller. The copy of the pinned data set may be stored in a secondary storage that is communicatively coupled to the secondary storage controller. The secondary storage may include a synchronous copy of the primary storage. The primary storage controller may receive the copy of the pinned data set from the secondary storage controller. The primary storage controller may also write the copy of the pinned data set over the pinned data set on the primary storage.

摘要: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing health conditions to determine when to restart replication after a swap triggered by a storage health event. A determination is made of a health condition with respect to access to a first storage that triggers a swap operation. The swap operation redirects host Input/Output (I/O) requests to data from a first server to a second server in response to determining the health condition. After the swap operation the I/O requests are directed to the second server and a second storage. The second server is instructed to mirror data in the second storage to the first server to store in the first storage in response to determining that the health condition is resolved.

摘要: A method for improving system availability in data replication environments is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting a suspend trigger, where the suspend trigger indicates that data mirroring between a primary volume and a secondary volume has been suspended. The method further detects a swap trigger some time after detecting the suspend trigger. The swap trigger indicates that I/O directed to the primary volume has failed. In the event the swap trigger is detected within a specified amount of time after detecting the suspend trigger, the method redirects I/O from the primary volume to the secondary volume. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
