摘要： A controller receives a request to perform staging or destaging operations with respect to an area of a cache. A determination is made as to whether one or more discard scans are being performed or queued for the area of the cache. In response to determining that one or more discard scans are being performed or queued for the area of the cache, the controller avoids satisfying the request to perform the staging or the destaging operations with respect to the area of the cache.

摘要： Modified tracks for write requests to a sequential access storage medium in a sequential access storage device are cached in a non-volatile storage, which is a faster access device than the sequential access storage medium. A request queue includes destage requests to destage the modified tracks in the non-volatile storage device to the sequential access storage medium and read requests to access read requested tracks from the sequential access storage medium. A comparison is made of a current position of a read/write mechanism with respect to physical locations on the sequential access storage medium of the tracks subject to the destage requests indicated in the request queue. A determination is made of one of the destage requests to process based on the comparison. The modified track for the determined destage request is written from the non-volatile storage device to the sequential access storage medium.

摘要： The population of data to be inserted into secondary data storage cache is controlled by determining a heat metric of candidate data; adjusting a heat metric threshold; rejecting candidate data provided to the secondary data storage cache whose heat metric is less than the threshold; and admitting candidate data whose heat metric is equal to or greater than the heat metric threshold. The adjustment of the heat metric threshold is determined by comparing a reference metric related to hits of data most recently inserted into the secondary data storage cache, to a reference metric related to hits of data most recently evicted from the secondary data storage cache; if the most recently inserted reference metric is greater than the most recently evicted reference metric, decrementing the threshold; and if the most recently inserted reference metric is less than the most recently evicted reference metric, incrementing the threshold.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing data in a first cache and a second cache. A reference count is maintained in the second cache for the page when the page is stored in the second cache. It is determined that the page is to be promoted from the second cache to the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is greater than zero, the page is added to a Least Recently Used (LRU) end of an LRU list in the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is less than or equal to zero, the page is added to a Most Recently Used (LRU) end of the LRU list in the first cache.

摘要： Mechanisms for managing data segments in a tiered storage system are provided. The mechanisms maintain at least one counter for each data segment in the tiered storage system. Each counter in the at least one counter counts a number of access operations to a corresponding data segment for a predetermined time interval. The mechanisms further perform one or more analytical operations based on one or more values of the at least one counter for each data segment to make residence determinations for each data segment. The mechanisms also adjust a storage location of one or more data segments in tiers of the tiered storage system to thereby move the one or more data segments to appropriate tiers of the tiered storage system based on results of the one or more analytical operations.

摘要： Information on strides configured in the second cache includes information indicating a number of valid tracks in the strides, wherein a stride has at least one of valid tracks and free tracks not including valid data. A determination is made of tracks to demote from the first cache. A first stride is formed including the determined tracks to demote. The tracks from the first stride are added to a second stride in the second cache that has no valid tracks. A target stride in the second cache is selected based on a stride most recently used to consolidate strides from at least two strides into one stride. Data from the valid tracks is copied from at least two source strides in the second cache to the target stride.

Pursuant to at least one subsequent write operation and destage operation, the at least one subsequent write operation and destage operation determined to be associated with the head physical extent, the write operation is mapped to one of the head physical extent, the at least one overflow extent, and an additional extent having spatial proximity to the at least one overflow extent.
