摘要： A peer-to-peer backup storage system automatically switches from a primary storage site to a mirrored backup site in response to a primary site failure, where the secondary site then honors any existing host initiated reservation of primary storage. Each site includes a storage controller and storage, where the primary site receives and stores data and forwards the received data to the secondary site for storage to mirror contents of primary storage. The primary and secondary sites are coupled to one or more hosts. Whenever the primary controller receives a reserve request from a host, it reserves the primary storage (or a subpart thereof) for the exclusive use of the reserve-initiating host. This may involve, for example, the primary controller storing a path group ID that identifies the reserving host. The primary controller also notifies the secondary controller of the reservation, e.g., sending the path group ID involved in the reservation operation to the secondary site. Responsive to a primary site failure, the system performs “switch” operation where the system stops forwarding data from the primary site to the secondary site. Furthermore, the secondary site is operated in substitution for the primary site, to receive and store data from the hosts. Importantly, the secondary site honors the existing reservation of the primary storage by reserving the secondary storage to the first reserve-initiating host.

摘要： Disclosed is a system for performing input/output (I/O) operations with a processing unit. A processing unit, such as a host system, determines a base and associated alias addresses to address an I/O device, such as a direct access storage device (DASD). The processing unit associates the determined base and alias addresses to the I/O device. The association of base and alias addresses is maintained constant for subsequent I/O operations until the processing unit detects a reassignment of the association of base and alias addresses. The processing unit then determines an available base or alias address to use with an I/O operation and may concurrently execute multiple I/O operations against the I/O device using the base and alias addresses.

摘要： Disclosed is a system and method for processing a data access request (DAR). A processing unit, such as a storage controller, receives a DAR, indicating data to return on a channel, such as a channel connecting to a host system, and priority information for the received DAR. The processing unit retrieves the requested data for the received DAR from a memory area, such as a cache or direct access storage device (DASD), and determines whether there is a queue of data entries indicating retrieved data for DARs to transfer on the channel. The queued DARs include priority information. The processing unit processes at least one data entry in the queue, the priority information for the data entry, and the priority information for the received DAR to determine a position in the queue for the received DAR. The processing unit then indicates that the received DAR is at the determined position in the queue and processes the queue to select retrieved data to transfer on the channel to the host system.

摘要： A remote copy system incorporates dynamically modifiable ports on the storage controllers such that those ports can operate either as a control unit link-level facility or as a channel link-level facility. When configured as a channel link-level facility, a primary storage controller can appear as a host processor to a secondary storage controller. The primary storage controller can thereafter initiate multiple request connects (RQC) concurrently for servicing a single I/O request. In this manner, a first available path can be selected and system throughput thus improved since RQCs so not need to be sent serially from path to path looking for an available path.

摘要： Disclosed is a system for handling an input/output (I/O) operation. A controller, such as a storage controller, receives an I/O operation against an address for an I/O device, such as a volume in a storage system. The controller determines whether there is at least one active I/O operation executing against the I/O device. After determining that there is at least one active I/O operation, the controller determines whether the received I/O operation conflicts with active I/O operations executing against the I/O device. The controller then executes the received I/O operation against the I/O device concurrently with the active I/O operations after determining that the received I/O operation does not conflict with active I/O operations.

摘要： Disclosed is a system for dynamically assigning alias addresses to base addresses referencing an I/O device, such as a direct access storage device (DASD). In the system, at least one base control block indicates a base address and a plurality of alias control blocks indicate a plurality of alias addresses. Each control block is associated with an address for addressing an I/O device. A processing unit, such as a host computer system, processes at least one alias control block associated with the I/O device and determines a base control block associated with the I/O device with which the alias control blocks are associated. The processing unit then binds at least one alias control block to the determined base control block. The bound base and alias control blocks provide different addresses to address the same I/O device. Further, the bound base and alias addresses address the same I/O device for subsequent I/O operations until the processing unit detects a reassignment of the association of base and alias addresses.

摘要： Disclosed is a system, method, and program for analyzing proposed interface ports to a device. Failure boundary data is read from the device indicating at least one failure boundary of a proposed interface to the device and a mask is accessed from the device. The accessed mask is applied to the failure boundary data for the proposed interface and existing interfaces to determine at least one failure boundary for the proposed interface and existing interfaces. A determination is made of a number of single points of failure for the proposed interface port from the determined failure boundaries the proposed interface has in common with interface ports currently used to access the device. A further determination is made of a relative availability rating based on the number of single points of failure for each proposed interface port.

摘要： Disclosed is a system for reassigning addresses. A first processing unit, such as a storage controller, provides at least two base addresses for addressing devices, such as volumes of a direct access storage device (DASD) and a plurality of alias addresses. An alias address associated with a base address provides an address for addressing the device addressed by the base address. The first processing unit processes a command transmitted from a second processing unit, such as a host system that accesses the DASD through the storage controller, to reassign an alias address from a first base address to a second base address. The first base address addresses a first device and the second base address addresses a second device. The first processing unit then indicates that the alias address to reassign is not associated with the first base address and is associated with the second base address. The second device addressed by the second base addresses is capable of being addressed by the reassigned alias address. The first processing unit signals the second processing unit after the first processing unit indicates that the alias address was reassigned from the first base address to the second base address.
