摘要： A method and means for asynchronous remote data duplexing at a distant location from copies based at a primary site storage subsystem in which there are first and second pluralities of subsystems at primary and remote sites respectively. Each of the first plurality of subsystems is independently coupled to one or more of the second plurality of subsystems. Further, the first plurality of subsystems is interconnected, and the second plurality of subsystems is interconnected. The method utilizes checkpoint messages to maintain sequence integrity between the first and second plurality of subsystems without the use of a centralized communications service.

摘要： A data storage system writes data supplied from a host to data storage in accordance with write I/O of an owning application. A workload manager directs the processing of the supplied data in accordance with the write I/O of the owning application, provides service workload identification describing the write I/O, a storage subsystem control adds the service workload identification to record set information for the data, and a journal management system stores the record set information in a journal. The journaled information, for example, may be employed for performing forensic analysis of data corruption events or to perform security audits, etc.

摘要： A system and method for controlling peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) operations initiated from one or more host devices that desire to store data contents written to a first storage system to a second storage system over a communications link. The system enables receipt and generation of copy services commands from host devices and the determination of whether a received command pertains to a copy service over an established PPRC relationship for that particular customer to enable that customer to perform storage operations effecting data written to a first storage server having source volumes and stored in a remote second storage system having target volumes. The copy services command effecting data contents of source volumes and/or remote target volumes will be enabled if it is determined that said PPRC relationship is already established for that customer; and, prevented if the received copy services command does effect any volume not already in a copy services relationship.

摘要： Disclosed is a system, method, and article of manufacture for maintaining data integrity. A frequency for creating consistent transactions sets is negotiated. A consistent transactions set creation duration is negotiated. At an interval determined by the frequency, during the consistent transactions set creation duration, processing of a first consistent transactions set is completed, while processing of a second consistent transactions set is delayed until the end of the consistent transactions set creation duration. After the first consistent transactions set have been offloaded to secondary storage, consistent copies of data may be created.

摘要： When a primary data storage subsystem receives updates for local storage and mirroring at a counterpart secondary storage subsystem, the primary subsystem institutes device-specific, fairness-driven update blocking to avoid overrunning the primary subsystem's update buffer with updates destined for any one device. Broadly, the primary subsystem first receives update requests, then logs the updates in an update buffer, then stores the logged updates in primary storage, and finally copies the updates to the secondary storage subsystem. Each update request includes update data and also identifies a targeted logical device, physical device, or other subpart of primary storage. The primary subsystem maintains a counter or other update activity indicator that represents update activity for each storage subpart, such as the number of updates stored in the buffer. For each update request, the primary subsystem determines whether target subpart's update activity exceeds a prescribed level. If not, the update data is stored in primary storage. Otherwise, if the update activity is excessive, the primary subsystem rejects the update. Optionally, the primary subsystem may selectively override certain rejections to prevent completely blocking updates for that subpart.
摘要翻译：当主数据存储子系统接收本地存储的更新并在对应的辅助存储子系统中进行镜像时，主要子系统将进行特定于设备的公平驱动的更新阻止，以避免超过主子系统的更新缓冲区，并更新目的地为任何一个设备。一般来说，主子系统首先接收更新请求，然后将更新记录在更新缓冲区中，然后将记录的更新存储在主存储中，最后将更新复制到辅助存储子系统。每个更新请求包括更新数据，并且还标识目标逻辑设备，物理设备或主存储器的其他子部分。主子系统维护计数器或其他更新活动指示符，表示每个存储子部分的更新活动，例如存储在缓冲区中的更新次数。对于每个更新请求，主子系统确定目标子部分的更新活动是否超过规定级别。如果没有，则更新数据存储在主存储器中。否则，如果更新活动过多，则主子系统将拒绝更新。可选地，主子系统可以选择性地覆盖某些拒绝以防止完全阻止该子部分的更新。

摘要： A method and system are disclosed for enhanced efficiency of backup copying of designated datasets stored within a plurality of storage devices coupled to the data processing system via a storage subsystem control unit having subsystem memory therein. Application execution within the data processing system is temporarily suspended long enough to form a dataset logical-to-physical system address concordance to be utilized to administer copying of the designated dataset. Thereafter, application initiated updates to uncopied portions of the designated datasets are temporarily deferred until sidefiles of the affected portions of the designated datasets are written to subsystem memory. The updates are then written to the storage subsystem. Portions of the designated datasets are then accessed and copied from the storage subsystem on a scheduled or opportunistic basis utilizing selected data retrieval command sequences. A sidefile status query is appended to selected data retrieval command sequences and the presence of data within the subsystem memory is determined without the necessity of additional communications between the data processing system and the storage subsystem. The sidefiles are then accessed and copied. Copied portions of the designated datasets and sidefiles are then copied to alternate storage locations in a backup copy order defined by the address concordance.

摘要： A data storage system includes an outboard data transfer module that directs data transfer operations without requiring substantial host involvement. This subsystem includes a host computer, one or more digital data storage devices, one or more device controllers interposed between the host computer and the storage devices, and a outboard data manager coupled to the host and the device controllers. Data transfer operations are initiated when the outboard data manager receives a data transfer request from the host. The request identifies the type of operation, resulting target format, source data residing on one or more source devices, and one or more target devices. In response to this request, the outboard data manager retrieves a copy of the source data from the source device(s), formats target data according to host instruction, and then transmits the copy to the target device(s) for storage therein. Thus, source data is copied from source to target storage device(s) via the outboard data manager without burdening the host by routing data through it. Some exemplary data transfer operations include copy, migrate, recall, backup, restore, move, defragment, reorganize, and the like.

摘要： A method for establishing bilateral communications over a single ESCON link coupling a pair of control units. The method steps include (a) permitting link address acquisition between directly connected link-level facilities that simultaneously assume the role of a master control unit in a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) configuration, (b) resolving conflicting device-level frames that initiate a path to a device (also termed an I/O connection), and (c) dynamically determining the role assumed by a link-level facility (master or slave) when a single logical path is shared.
