摘要： A method and system for reclaiming stacked volumes within a peripheral data storage subsystem is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a database is interrogated to determine whether or not an opportunistic reclaim threshold of a stacked volume has been reached after a service request from a host computer has been performed on a stacked volume and while the stacked volume is still mounted. If the opportunistic reclaim threshold of the stacked volume has not been reached, the stacked volume is released and dismounted. However, if the reclaim threshold of the stacked volume has been reached, another determination is made as to whether or not a service request for the host computer is pending. If the host computer requires service, the stacked volume is again released and dismounted. Otherwise, if the host computer does not require service, at least one data set from the mounted stacked volume is opportunistically reclaimed while the stacked volume is still mounted.
摘要翻译：公开了一种在外围数据存储子系统内回收堆叠卷的方法和系统。根据本发明的方法和系统，询问数据库以确定在已经对堆叠的卷执行来自主计算机的服务请求之后是否已经达到堆叠卷的机会回收阈值，并且在堆叠体积仍然安装。如果堆叠卷的机会回收阈值尚未达到，则堆放的卷被释放和卸载。然而，如果已达到堆叠卷的回收阈值，则另外确定主计算机的服务请求是否待决。如果主机需要服务，则堆叠卷再次被释放和卸载。否则，如果主机不需要服务，则从安装的堆叠卷中至少有一个数据集可以机械地回收，而堆叠卷仍然安装。

摘要： Provided is a method, system, and program for providing status information in a system comprised of multiple components. A first processing node receives status information indicating a state of a system component and generates a status message indicating the state of the system component. The first processing node transmits the status message to a second processing node. The second processing node updates information maintained by the second processing node with the state of the system component indicated in the status message. Status information maintained by the second processing node is returned to a request for status.

摘要： A method for balancing workloads in media library access systems that provide multiple accessors disposed within a library. Each of the accessors is assigned a given zone of primary access wherein each of the zones of primary access has at least one boundary. Accessor usage is calculated by adding a score for each access to total accesses for each accessor. The totals are evaluated to determine that one or more of the boundaries requires adjustment and the boundaries are adjusted in accordance with the evaluation. By changing the average span of each accessor dynamically, the method can equalize the use of each accessor, minimizing library latency.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for maintaining states of an operator interface, such as an operator panel and convenience input/output station, of a dual library manager/dual controller system in the event of a failure to one controller during an operation. The invention allows control of the operator panel and convenience input/output station status lights and the states themselves by more than one controller without reinitializing at a default condition by detecting a failure during an operation, switching control to a second accessor controller and establishing a correct state for the operator interface via the second accessor controller. A correct state for a station is established by first establishing a fake empty status for the station and then locking the station, if necessary.

摘要： In a data storage subsystem a virtual removable media server (VRMS) handles host audit requests, whether directed to a physical volume or a virtual volume physically stored in cache or in a removable physical media item. The subsystem includes a storage interface between the host and data storage facilities including a cache and a physical media library. To the host, the storage interface emulates a virtual library including a plurality of virtual media items, each containing a logical volume of data. The library may also maintain physical media items each storing one logical volume, as in a traditional library. To verify presence of a specified logical volume of the virtual library, the host sends an audit request. Responsively, the subsystem cross-references the specified logical volume in a first list to identify physical locations of underlying data. This physical location may be an address in the cache and/or a physical volume corresponding to a physical media item in the library. If the underlying data is stored exclusively in cache, the subsystem automatically answers affirmatively to the audit request. If the underlying data is stored in the physical media, the subsystem searches the library for the physical media item containing the physical volume that includes the specified logical volume, and answers the audit request affirmatively if the physical media item is found. If the physical media item is not found, the subsystem answers the audit request negatively.
摘要翻译：在数据存储子系统中，虚拟可移动介质服务器（VRMS）处理主机审核请求，无论是针对物理卷还是物理存储在高速缓存中的虚拟卷或可移动物理介质项。子系统包括主机和数据存储设备之间的存储接口，包括缓存和物理媒体库。对于主机，存储接口模拟包括多个虚拟媒体项目的虚拟库，每个虚拟媒体项包含数据的逻辑卷。图书馆还可以保存每个存储一个逻辑卷的物理媒体项目，如传统图书馆。要验证虚拟库的指定逻辑卷的存在，主机将发送审核请求。响应地，子系统在第一列表中交叉引用指定的逻辑卷以标识底层数据的物理位置。该物理位置可以是缓存中的地址和/或对应于库中的物理媒体项的物理卷。如果底层数据专门存储在缓存中，则子系统会自动对审核请求进行回答。如果基础数据存储在物理介质中，则子系统在库中搜索包含指定逻辑卷的物理卷的物理介质项，并且如果找到物理介质项则肯定地回答审核请求。如果没有找到物理媒体项目，则子系统负面回答审核请求。

摘要： A system, a method, and a computer program product to provide a failover procedure for an automated data storage library are provided. During the operation of a data storage library, a host computer issues control commands to the automated data storage library using one or more control paths. In the event that the host does not receive desirable results, such as when communication is lost between the host computer and the automated data storage library while a command is in process, the host computer may attempt to retry the same command using the same control path or an alternate control path. When the host issues a retry of the same command, the automated data storage library performs an examination of the command and one or more previous commands executed to prevent the automated data storage library from executing an identical command more than once.

摘要： Disclosed are a system, a method, and an article of manufacture to provide for configuring an automated data storage library having one or more storage frames that operate with different types of data storage media. The automated data storage library is configured to operate with sequential storage shelf addresses assigned to consecutive storage frames that use the same type of data storage media. The storage frames that operate with different types of data storage media may be physically assembled in any order. The automated data storage library may be expanded by attaching storage frames that operate with different types of data storage media in any order while maintaining sequential storage shelf addresses that span across multiple library frames.

摘要： Disclosed is a method, system, and program for using storage slots efficiently. A move command is received to move a portable data storage medium from a source address to a destination address. An empty storage slot that has no association with the destination address is located. The portable data storage medium is moved from the source address to the located empty storage slot. An association is stored between the located empty storage slot and the destination address.
