    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for switching a volume address association in a point-in-time copy relationship. A copy module creates a point-in-time copy structure of a source volume at a target volume. A migration module copies data from the source volume to the target volume. A detection module detects data corruption in the source volume. A switch module switches a logical volume address from a source volume address of the source volume to a target volume address of the target volume in response to detecting the data corruption, redirecting data reads and writes to the target volume. In one embodiment, a tracking module tracks a current target volume copy of source volume data and redirects an access for source volume data without the current target volume copy to the source volume.

    摘要: A computer Input/Output system having a fabric, a control unit (CU) and a host computes including a channel, the channel having a channel port connected by a first link to a channel neighbor port of the fabric, and the control unit having a CU port connected by a second link to a CU neighbor port on the fabric. When an error is detected in the link or protocol between the channel and the control unit, after a retry of the failing operation is performed, error data are reported to the channel by the channel, the channel port, the channel neighbor port, the control unit, the Cu port and the CU neighbor port and sent to the channel. The error data are provided to the host computer for analysis.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for assigning alias addresses to base addresses. An assignment is provided of base addresses to the devices, wherein the base addresses are used to access the devices assigned to the base addresses. An assignment is provided of a plurality of alias addresses to an alias address pool. The alias addresses in the alias address pool are capable of being dynamically assigned to the devices to service I/O requests to the devices. An Input/Output (I/O) request to access one target device comprising one of the devices is processed. A determination is made as to whether the base address assigned to the target device is available. One alias address is assigned to the target device in response to determining that the base address is not available. The I/O request is issued to the assigned alias address to transmit the request to the target device.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accessing a preferred path through a storage controller. A request module receives a request from a host to identify a preferred path from the host to a control unit image. A response module reports the preferred path to the host. A connection module connects the host through the preferred path to the control unit image. In one embodiment, a detection module detects a failure of a first interconnection module comprising the preferred path. The connection module may re-connect the host to the control unit image through a non-preferred path comprising a second interconnection module in response to the failure of the first interconnection module.
