    摘要: Embodiments for facilitating data transfer between a nonvolatile storage (NVS) write cache and a pool of target storage devices are provided. Each target storage device in the pool of target storage devices is determined as one of a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD) device, and classified into one of a SSD rank group and a HDD rank group. If no data is received in the NVS write cache for a predetermined time to be written to a target storage device classified in the SSD rank group, a threshold of available space in the NVS write cache is set to allocate at least a majority of the available space to the HDD rank group. Upon receipt of a write request for the SSD rank group, the threshold of the available space is reduced to allocate a greater portion of the available space to the SSD rank group.

    摘要: Exemplary system and computer program embodiments for storing data by a processor device in a computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, from a plurality of available data segments, a data segment having a storage activity lower than a predetermined threshold is identified as a colder data segment. A chunk of storage is located to which the colder data segment is assigned. The colder data segment is compressed. The colder data segment is migrated to the chunk of storage. A status of the chunk of storage is maintained in a compression data segment bitmap.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a computer program product for handling a point-in-time copy (PITC) command includes a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith. The computer readable program code is configured to: receive a PITC command at a local site, create a data representation that represents updates to make to the at least one target volume of the local target storage location, wherein the updates correspond to changes made to at least one source volume of the local source storage location since execution of an earlier PITC command, create a source data sidefile entry for the at least one source volume, create a target data sidefile entry for the at least one target volume, execute the PITC command at the local site, and create a PITC sidefile entry for the PITC command, the PITC sidefile entry including a timestamp that indicates when the PITC command was executed.

    摘要: An approach to synchronization of logical copy relationships on a local site with those on a remote site that is a mirror. A withdraw command is received on the local site for logical copy relationships between local source tracks and local target tracks. The withdraw command is executed and sent to a remote site buffer, from which it will be transferred to the remote site. Change indicators are set for the at least one local track in the affected logical copy relationships. If the withdraw command is lost from the remote site buffer, the remote site buffer will be rebuilt using the change indicators. By setting change indicators for local tracks in a withdrawn logical copy relationship (even if the data in local tracks hasn't changed), the remote counterparts to these tracks on the remote site will be rewritten, resulting in withdrawal of the logical copy relationship there even if the withdrawal command was never sent to the remote site.
