摘要： A method for efficiently using a large secondary cache is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, such a method may include accumulating, in a secondary cache, a plurality of data tracks. These data tracks may include modified data and/or unmodified data. The method may determine if a subset of the plurality of data tracks makes up a full stride. In the event the subset makes up a full stride, the method may destage the subset from the secondary cache. By destaging full strides, the method reduces the number of disk operations that are required to destage data from the secondary cache. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also disclosed and claimed herein.

摘要： Embodiments of the disclosure relate to archiving data in a storage system. An exemplary embodiment comprises making a flash copy of data in a source volume, compressing data in the flash copy wherein each track of data is compressed into a set of data pages, and storing the compressed data pages in a target volume. Data extents for the target volume may be allocated from a pool of compressed data extents. After each stride worth of data is compressed and stored in the target volume, data may be destaged to avoid destage penalties. Data from the target volume may be decompressed from a flash copy of the target volume in a reverse process to restore each data track, when the archived data is needed. Data may be compressed and uncompressed using a Lempel-Ziv-Welch process.
摘要翻译： 本公开的实施例涉及在存储系统中归档数据。 示例性实施例包括在源卷中进行数据的闪速复制，压缩闪存中的数据，其中数据的每个轨道被压缩成一组数据页，并将压缩的数据页存储在目标卷中。 可以从压缩数据盘区池中分配目标卷的数据盘区。 在每一步数据的数据被压缩并存储在目标卷中之后，数据可能会被排除以避免流失的惩罚。 当需要归档数据时，目标卷的数据可以以相反的过程从目标卷的闪存副本中解压缩，以恢复每个数据轨道。 数据可以使用Lempel-Ziv-Welch进程进行压缩和解压缩。

摘要： A method for allocating space in a cache based on media I/O speed is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, such a method may include storing, in a read cache, cache entries associated with faster-responding storage devices and cache entries associated with slower-responding storage devices. The method may further include implementing an eviction policy in the read cache. This eviction policy may include demoting, from the read cache, the cache entries of faster-responding storage devices faster than the cache entries of slower-responding storage devices, all other variables being equal. In certain embodiments, the eviction policy may further include demoting, from the read cache, cache entries having a lower read-hit ratio faster than cache entries having a higher read-hit ratio, all other variables being equal. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also disclosed and claimed herein.

摘要： A processor, operable in a computing storage environment, allocates portions of a Scatter Index Table (SIT) disproportionately between a larger portion dedicated for meta data tracks, and a smaller portion dedicated for user data tracks, and processes a storage operation through the disproportionately allocated portions of the SIT using an allocated number of Task Control Blocks (TCB).

摘要： For cache/data management in a computing storage environment, incoming data segments into a Non Volatile Storage (NVS) device of the computing storage environment are validated against a bitmap to determine if the incoming data segments are currently in use. Those of the incoming data segments determined to be currently in use are designated to the computing storage environment to protect data integrity.

摘要： Method, system, and computer program product embodiments for facilitating data transfer from a write cache and NVS via a device adapter to a pool of storage devices by a processor or processors are provided. The processor(s) adaptively varies the destage rate based on the current occupancy of the NVS for a particular storage device and stage activity related to that storage device. The stage activity includes one or more of the storage device stage activity, device adapter stage activity, device adapter utilized bandwidth and the read/write speed of the storage device. These factors are generally associated with read response time in the event of a cache miss and not ordinarily associated with dynamic management of the destage rate. This combination maintains the desired overall occupancy of the NVS while improving response time performance.
摘要翻译： 提供了方法，系统和计算机程序产品实施例，用于促进通过处理器或处理器从写入高速缓存和NVS经由设备适配器到存储设备池的数据传输。 处理器根据特定存储设备的NVS的当前占用率和与该存储设备相关的阶段活动自适应地改变流水率。 舞台活动包括存储设备舞台活动，设备适配器舞台活动，设备适配器利用带宽和存储设备的读/写速度中的一个或多个。 这些因素通常与高速缓存未命中的读取响应时间相关联，并且通常不与流动速率的动态管理相关联。 这种组合在提高响应时间性能的同时保持NVS的期望总体占用。

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for preserving data in a storage subsystem having dual cache and dual nonvolatile storage (NVS) through a failover from a failed cluster to a surviving cluster is provided. A memory preserved indicator is initiated to mark tracks on a cache of the surviving cluster to be preserved, the tracks having an image in an NVS of the failed cluster. A destage operation is performed to destage the marked tracks. Subsequent to a determination that each of the marked tracks have been destaged, the memory preserved indicator is disabled to remove the mark from the tracks. If the surviving cluster reboots previous to each of the marked tracks having been destaged, the cache is verified as a memory preserved cache, the marked tracks are retained for processing while all unmarked tracks are removed, and the marked tracks are processed.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for managing modified metadata in a storage controller cache pursuant to a recovery action by a processor in communication with a memory device is provided. A count of modified metadata tracks for a storage rank is compared against a predetermined criterion. If the predetermined criterion is met, a storage volume having the storage rank is designated with a metadata invalidation flag to defer metadata invalidation of the modified metadata tracks until after the recovery action is performed.
