摘要： A data management system has at least one class distinction cue associated with a class of data entities. The class distinction cue comprises data management guidance information and priority information related to the associated class of data entities. For a data entity, at run-time, a data management allocation run-time system references the class distinction cue or cues prior to conducting data management allocation or access, and, based on the priority information as compared to other priority information related to the data storage resources, selectively allocates the data storage resources and provides the operations of the storage system in the data management allocation system for the data entity.

摘要： Providing extended or end-to-end data integrity through layers of a system. In one aspect, information is to be transmitted between an application end of the system and a physical storage medium that stores the information for a database of the system, the information to be transmitted via a database server in a database server layer of the system. At least a portion of data protection is provided for the information, the data protection causing the information to be protected from corruption between a system layer and the physical storage medium, where the system layer is a separate layer provided closer to the application end of the system than the database server layer.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for remote copying of updates to primary and secondary storage locations subject to a copy relationship. A first copy relationship is established between first and second storage locations in a first storage system and second storage system, respectively, wherein updates to the first storage locations are copied to the second storage locations. A second copy relationship is established between the first storage locations in the first copy relationship and third storage locations in a third storage system, wherein updates to the first storage locations are indicated in a first bitmap. A suspended third copy relationship is established between the second storage locations in the first copy relationship and the third storage locations, wherein updates to the second storage locations are indicated in a second bitmap. Updates are copied from the first or second storage locations to the third storage locations, wherein the first or second bitmap is capable of being used to determine updates for the first or second storage locations to copy to the third storage locations.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for maintaining consistency when mirroring data using different copy technologies. Update groups having updates to primary storage locations are formed using a first copy technology. The updates in the update groups are copied to secondary storage locations. Update groups having updates to primary storage locations are formed using a second copy technology, wherein the updates in the update groups are copied to secondary storage locations. Indication is made in a data structure of a time of an update in response to including the update in one of the update groups formed using the first copy technology. Indication is also made in the data structure of a time of the update group formed using the second copy technology.

摘要： A data storage system writes data supplied from a host to data storage in accordance with write I/O of an owning application. A workload manager directs the processing of the supplied data in accordance with the write I/O of the owning application, provides service workload identification describing the write I/O, a storage subsystem control adds the service workload identification to record set information for the data, and a journal management system stores the record set information in a journal. The journaled information, for example, may be employed for performing forensic analysis of data corruption events or to perform security audits, etc.
