摘要:
A network domain includes a plurality of agents and a domain server, the domain server operable for automatically transmitting messages to the agents to reset the agents upon the occurrence of a critical event. Upon receipt of a restart command, each agent terminates executing processes and then restarts processes.

Provided is a method, system, and program for allocating processor resources to a first and second types of tasks. An allocation of processor resources to the first and second types of tasks is indicated. Data is gathered indicating a first workload level for the first type of tasks and a second workload level for the second type of tasks. A determination is made of a change to the indicated allocation of processor resources to the fist and second types of tasks based on at least one of the first workload level and second workload level data. Tasks of the first type are dispatched to the processor resources allocated to the first type and tasks of the second type are dispatched to the processor resources allocated to the second type.

Provided is a method, system, and program for configuring an attached storage device through a storage adaptor. The storage adaptor includes an initialization routine to generate initialization data to write to the storage device when adding storage space in the storage device to a system. A request is received to add storage space to the system. A command is transmitted to the storage adaptor capable of inhibiting the storage adaptor from performing the initialization routine. Initialization data is generated for the storage space and transmitted to the storage adaptor to write to the storage space to initialize the storage space.

A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing data integrity using check data and other metadata on a formatted storage medium. A processor processes a first number of packets having first predetermined lengths sized for a first number of sectors on the medium and individual check data to form the first number of packets with second predetermined lengths having a total size that requires a second predetermined number of sectors for storage

Provided is a method, system, and program for destaging data from a first computer readable medium to a second computer readable medium. A list of entries indicating data blocks in the first computer readable medium is scanned. For each entry scanned, a determination is made as to whether the data block indicated in the scanned entry satisfies a criteria. If the data block indicated in the scanned entry satisfies the criteria, then a destage operation is called to destage the data block in the scanned entry from the first computer readable medium to the second computer readable medium. If the called destage operation is not initiated, then the scanned entry is removed from the cache list. The removed scanned entry is added to one destage wait list. During one destage operation, data blocks indicated in entries in the destage wait list are destaged.
摘要:
Provided is a method, system, and program for caching updates to one target storage device in a first and second memories, wherein the target storage device is one of a plurality of storage devices. A determination is made of an allocation of available space in the second memory to the storage devices, wherein a total of the allocation of the available space to all the storage devices exceeds one hundred percent of the available space in the second memory. An update to one target storage device is received and then a determination is made as to whether adding the update to the second memory will exceed the allocation of available space for the target storage device in the second memory. One copy of the update is written to the second memory if adding the update to the second memory will not exceed the allocation of available space for the target storage device.

Provided are a method, system, and an article of manufacture for preventing data loss. Modified data is stored in a volatile storage. The stored modified data is copied onto a non-volatile storage. A determination is made as to whether the non-volatile storage should be checked for errors. In certain implementations, on determining that the nonvolatile storage should be checked for errors the non-volatile storage is checked for errors. If on checking the non-volatile storage is found to have an error, an indication of the error is provided.
