Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for communicating with storage devices in a storage system. One embodiment includes calculating a time for a host computer to abort data requests in a storage network; receiving a data request at a storage device from the host computer; and sending the host computer a notice of a status of the data request before the time expires and the host computer aborts the data request.

A method, system, and program product is provided for configuring a target device, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a log-in request to connect the target device to a host, wherein the log-in request includes a host designator; accessing a table of host designators and associated O/S types; determining if there is a match of the log-in request host designator to a host designator in the table; and selecting an O/S type protocol associated with the match to the host designator. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the host designator is a worldwide name. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the step is provided of determining if a mode parameter is set for a default O/S protocol; and selecting that default O/S protocol unless there is a match of the log-in request host designator in the table.
摘要:
A storage device is configured with one or more processes that receive, process, and pass on jobs from a source. The number of jobs received by a process is compared with the number of jobs completed and/or passed on by the process. If the number of jobs that are received is disproportionate to the number of jobs completed and/or passed on by the process, a hang may exist and a corrective action, such as resetting, may be performed along with a request for all or some of the jobs to be resent.
