    摘要: Provided are a method for selecting a path comprising ports on primary and secondary clusters to use to transmit data at a primary volume to a secondary volume. A request is received to copy data from a primary storage location to a secondary storage location. A determination is made from a plurality of primary clusters of an owner primary cluster for the primary storage location, wherein the primary clusters are configured to access the primary storage location. A determination is made as to whether there is at least one port on the owner primary cluster providing an available path to the secondary storage location. One port on the owner primary cluster is selected to use to copy the data to the secondary storage location in response to determining that there is at least one port on the owner primary cluster available to transmit to the secondary storage location.

    摘要: Disclosed is a technique for fault isolation. A first error check is performed on a block of data in storage to determine whether the block of data was corrupted after the block of data was transferred from memory to the storage. When the first error check indicates that the block of data was corrupted, a second error check is performed using the block of data in the memory to determine whether the block of data was corrupted before being transferred from the memory. When the second error check indicates that the block of data was corrupted before being transferred from the memory, it is determined that the block of data was corrupted before being stored in the memory. When the second error check indicates that the block of data was corrupted after being transferred from the memory, it is determined that the block of data was corrupted by at least one of the memory or a formatter that performed the transfer.Additionally disclosed is a technique in which a block of data is transferred from a memory at a first control unit to a memory at a second control unit. At the first control unit, when a second error check at the second control unit indicates that the block of data was corrupted before being transferred from the memory, a third error check is performed on the block of data in memory at the first control unit. When the third error check indicates that the block of data was corrupted, it is determined that the block of data was corrupted at the first control unit. When the third error check indicates that the block of data was not corrupted, it is determined that the block of data was corrupted during transfer from the first control unit to the second control unit.

    摘要: Provided are a system and article of manufacture for bidirectional data transfer. In certain embodiments a link layer login is sent from a first port to a second port. Subsequently, an application layer login is sent from the first port to the second port to establish a first data path, wherein the first data path is from the first port to the second port. Subsequently, another application layer login is sent from the second port to the first port to establish a second data path, wherein the second data path is from the second port to the first port. In certain other embodiments, a first data path is established from a first port to a second port. A determination is made at the first port, whether the second port has a second data path established from the second port to the first port. An application layer logout is sent from the first port to the second port, in response to determining that the second port has the second data path established from the second port to the first port. The first data path is terminated from the first port to the second port in response to receiving the application layer logout at the second port.

    摘要: A processor is used to evaluate information regarding the number, size, and priority level of data transfer requests sent to a plurality of communication ports. Additional information regarding the number, size, and priority level of data requests received by the communication ports from this and other processors is evaluated as well. This information is applied to a control algorithm that, in turn, determines which of the communication ports will receive subsequent data transfer requests. The behavior of the control algorithm varies based on the current utilization rate of communication port bandwidths, the size of data transfer requests, and the priority level of the these transfer requests.
