摘要： A system and method for performing a search operation within a sequential access data storage subsystem are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a data storage subsystem is provided which comprises a search module and a communication channel interface to communicatively couple the data storage subsystem to a host data processing system via a communication channel. In the described embodiment, the search module is configured to receive search attribute data from the host data processing system via the communication channel interface, where the search attribute data specifies a search attribute. The search module is further configured to perform a search operation on data of a sequential access storage element utilizing the search attribute and to provide search result data to the host data processing system via the communication channel interface in response to a performance of the search operation.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for synchronous mode replication to multiple clusters receiving a write to a volume from a host. A received write is cached in a memory. A determination is made of a replication rule indicating one of a plurality of replication modes for a first cluster and a second cluster used for replication for the write, wherein one of the replication modes comprises a synchronous mode. A determination is made that the replication rule indicates a synchronous mode for the first and the second clusters. The write is transmitted from the memory to the first cluster to store in a first non-volatile storage of the first cluster and to the second cluster to store in a second non-volatile storage in response to determining that the replication rule indicates the synchronous mode.

摘要： In a system including an application subsystem node having an application RSID table and a logging subsystem node having a logging RSID table, the application subsystem node makes a determination of a registration status of a ALSI string relative to the application RSID table during a logging operation of the ALSI string. The application subsystem node further transfers a RSID package from the application subsystem node across a network to the logging subsystem node, wherein the RSID package includes a RSID encoding of the ALSI string and conditionally includes the ALSI string based on the registration status of the ALIS string relative to the application RSID table as determined by the application subsystem node.

摘要： A read request of a sequential media from a host is executed with a read request data block size equal to a maximum recorded data block size parameter of the variable data block size storage device. Subsequently, if warranted, an adaptive read ahead data block size variable is set to equal a recorded data block size of data recorded on the sequential media that is responsive to the execution of the read request, and one or more read ahead requests of the sequential media are executed with a read ahead data block size equal to the adaptive read ahead data block size variable. The adaptive read ahead data block size variable is conditionally adjusted based on the recorded data block size(s) of data recorded on the sequential media that is responsive to the execution(s) of the read ahead request(s).
