摘要： An apparatus operable with a host and at least first and second data storage for avoiding overwriting of a stored data item in the second data storage by a copy services system is provided. The apparatus includes a storage use analyzer for determining the availability of the second data storage. A copy services requester communicates with the host to receive a request to establish a copy services relationship, using the second data storage as a target data storage. A request blocking and passing component passes the request to establish a copy services relationship using the second data storage as the target data storage, responsive to a positive determination of availability of the second storage. The request blocking and passing component may also block the request responsive to a negative determination of availability of the second data storage.

摘要： A host data processing system includes a data storage system having a cache memory and a back end storage. In response to a detection of an event failure during an input/output (I/O) request from the host data processing system to the data storage system, the data associated with the I/O request is forwarded to the back end storage data, and a copy of the data associated with the I/O request is sent to the cache memory. A determination is made as to whether or not there is an acknowledgement from the back end storage regarding the receipt of the data associated with the I/O request. If there is an acknowledgement from the back end storage regarding the receipt of the data associated with the I/O request, the data associated with the I/O request is flushed from the cache memory, and the received acknowledgement is routed to the host data processing system.

摘要： An apparatus for data transmission over a network includes a buffer and a timer mechanism for timing an optimum interval (less than the round-trip error response delay) for retransmission of data. A first accessor accesses data in the buffer for transmission and starts a first timeout clock. Second or further accessors of the buffer are responsive to a timeout to access the data, start a timeout clock and attempt to transmit the data on a path avoiding path elements used by prior accessors. A counter increments and decrements a count of the references to the buffer by accessors and signals when the count reaches zero. A memory manager returns the buffer to a free buffer pool responsive to the reference counter signaling that the count has reached zero. An analysis mechanism can be used to determine the optimum interval and tune the timer mechanism.
摘要翻译：一种用于通过网络进行数据传输的装置包括缓冲器和定时机构，用于定时重新发送数据的最佳间隔（小于往返误差响应延迟）。第一访问器访问缓冲器中的数据以进行传输，并启动第一超时时钟。缓冲器的第二或另外的访问器响应于超时以访问数据，启动超时时钟并尝试在避免由先前存取器使用的路径元素的路径上传送数据。当计数达到零时，计数器递增和递减访问器和信号对缓冲区的引用计数。存储器管理器将缓冲器返回到空闲缓冲池，该缓冲池响应于引用计数器指示计数达到零。可以使用分析机制来确定最佳间隔并调整定时器机制。

摘要： A storage network control apparatus is operable to present virtualized storage to a host system and includes a monitoring component, an analysis component, a detection component, and a migration component. The monitoring component is for monitoring input/output (I/O) activity for virtual storage logical units over time. The analysis component is for identifying a repeating instance of peak I/O activity for a virtual storage logical unit over time and for generating a predictive signature therefrom. The detecting component is for identifying an instance of such a predictive signature. The migration component is responsive to the detecting component, and is for migrating data mapped by the virtual storage logical unit across additional real storage units to improve the I/O performance of the virtual storage logical unit prior to a recurrence of the repeating instance of peak I/O activity. A corresponding logic arrangement may be incorporated in hardware, software or a combination thereof.

摘要： A copy engine (104) is provided as an interface between firmware (108) and memory space (106) for carrying out copy operations. The copy engine has a first register (202, 203) to point to a first address and a second register (204, 205) to point to a second address. One of the first and second addresses is a source address and one is a destination address for data to be copied. The copy engine (104) also has a control register (201). The control register (201) includes a count of the amount of memory space required by a copy operation, an indication of the direction of the copy operation from the first address to the second address or from the second address to the first address, and an indication of whether the first memory address is incremented or decremented. The copy engine (104) includes a locking mechanism for locking the copy engine (104) during a copy operation. The copy engine (104) also includes a serialisation mechanism in which a write is made to the control register (201) of zero count. If the copy engine (104) is locked, the write of zero count is retried until the existing copy operation has completed and then it will complete with no effect.
