摘要： A data processing system executes a plurality of processes in parallel. The processes access shared user records stored in memory serially. One or more data structures are used to track access by processes to the data structures and to the user records. Responsive to a fault occurring in a first parallel process, a signal is given the remaining parallel processes indicating the failure. Responsive to the failure, it is determined if the faulting parallel process had access to one of the data structures. Depending upon the circumstances of access, integrity of the user records may be assumed and the record validated. The data structures themselves can be examined to determine if the contents of memory is reliable. Typically the data structures support use of the memory as a cache.

摘要： The invention teaches a system and method for temporarily buffering data written to a storage system by a host computer. The storage system includes direct access storage devices and a cache. The cache is used as the buffer for both caching and noncaching data records before destaging to a direct access storage device. Upon receipt of a channel program from a host computer containing data for records to be updated, the storage controller determines if the records are currently cached. If the records are not cached, a write miss has occurred. Upon a write miss the storage controller checks an attribute transmitted in the channel program to determine if the records have a regular format. Records having a known, regular format are buffered in cache until destaged by a background process.
摘要翻译：本发明教导了一种用于临时缓冲由主计算机写入存储系统的数据的系统和方法。存储系统包括直接访问存储设备和缓存。缓存用作缓存和非缓存数据记录的缓冲区，然后再次转到直接访问存储设备。在从包含要更新的记录的数据的主计算机接收到频道节目时，存储控制器确定记录是否被当前缓存。如果记录未缓存，则发生写入错误。在写入错误时，存储控制器检查在通道程序中发送的属性，以确定记录是否具有常规格式。具有已知的常规格式的记录被缓存在缓存中，直到由后台进程去运行。

摘要： In a data storage system having a direct access storage device (DASD) and a cache, a cache directory has two types of directory entries. A track directory entry TDE identifies up to one DASD track of data records currently stored in cache. All records stored in a DASD track can be stored in a cache storage space allocated for the DASD track identified by the TDE. A cylinder directory entry CDE identifies a number N of records from any track in a respective cylinder of tracks. N is a positive integer less than the total number of records storable in a DASD track. From one to all of the DASD tracks in one cylinder may be identified in a CDE. The cache data storage allocation corresponding to a CDE is the same as that allocated for a TDE. Each TDE is addressed by a DASD track address of a cylinder while a CDE is addressed using a pseudo track number corresponding to a servo track in the DASD. A record cast out control for the cache includes examining the number of records destaged. Based on the number of records cast out from cache to DASD, a cache event parameter CEP is modified or maintained. Accessing cache requires examining a current CEP value for each accessed DASD track to access either the TDE or CDE.
摘要翻译：在具有直接访问存储设备（DASD）和高速缓存的数据存储系统中，高速缓存目录具有两种类型的目录条目。轨道目录条目TDE最多识别当前存储在高速缓存中的数据记录的一个DASD轨道。存储在DASD轨道中的所有记录可以存储在由TDE标识的DASD轨道分配的高速缓存存储空间中。圆柱体目录条目CDE从轨道的相应圆柱体中的任何轨道识别N个记录。 N是小于在DASD轨道中可存储的记录总数的正整数。在一个气缸中的一个到所有DASD轨迹可以在CDE中被识别。与CDE对应的缓存数据存储分配与分配给TDE的缓存数据存储分配相同。每个TDE由气缸的DASD轨道地址寻址，而使用对应于DASD中的伺服轨道的伪轨道号来寻址CDE。高速缓存的记录丢弃控制包括检查已删除的记录数。根据从缓存转发到DASD的记录数，缓存事件参数CEP被修改或维护。访问缓存需要检查每个访问的DASD磁道的当前CEP值以访问TDE或CDE。

摘要： A data storage system provides disaster recovery capability by asynchronously transmitting record updates to a secondary site in sequence consistent order. Such record updates are stored at a primary site in a cache memory of a storage controller. A circular queue is created having a head pointer for locating a first (or oldest) record update with subsequent record updates of a track being linked therefrom in sequence consistent order. A tail pointer of the circular queue points to the last record update. A counter field is provided in a track slot header for counting a number of updated records in the track and hence the circular queue. When a data mover in the host processor at the primary site reads record updates for transmission to the secondary site, the data mover starts with the record update pointed to by the head pointer such that the data mover moves through the circular queue (and hence the record updates) in a backward chain fashion. The counter is decremented as each record update in the track is read by the data mover such that when the counter reaches zero the data mover knows that no other record updates exist for that track.

摘要： Method, system and computer program product embodiments for, in an input/output (I/O) link handling complex instruction chains, a messaging scheme incorporating a method of error recovery between an initiator processor and a receiver processor, are provided. An operation initiation message is been sent from the initiator processor to the receiver processor for the receiver processor to begin work on an operation. If determined to be necessary, a terminate operation message is sent from the initiator processor to the receiver processor. The initiator processor withholds sending additional messages for the operation until a terminate operation response message is received. Once the terminate operation message is received, outstanding messages in process are flushed from the receiver processor. The receiver processor withholds sending additional messages to the initiator processor as the outstanding messages are completed. The terminate operation response message is sent from the receiver processor to the initiator processor.

摘要： A method for combining partial records into a single direct memory access (DMA) operation for a count key data (CKD) protocol in a computer environment is provided. In an initiator processor of the computer environment, a number of the partial records to be prefetched is determined by gathering a plurality of descriptor information for a command according to a predetermined algorithm having a plurality of assumptions for the command. The number of partial records is prefetched. At least one of record headers and record keys of the number of partial records are concatenated into the single DMA operation. The DMA operation is forwarded to a receiver process to be completed.

摘要： A method of packaging locate record commands for device command word (DCW) processing is provided. A first locate record command is packaged into DCW prefix parameter data. The first locate record command includes first search and first seek arguments, a first intent count argument, a first transfer length factor argument, and a plurality of remaining arguments. A plurality of truncated locate record commands is embedded in the DCW prefix parameter data as concatenations to the first locate record command. Each of the plurality of truncated locate record commands include a unique search argument, intent count argument, and transfer length factor argument. Seek argument parameters for each of the plurality of truncated locate record commands are calculated by taking an offset from the first seek argument and the first search argument, applying the offset to each of the plurality of truncated locate record commands. The plurality of remaining arguments is shared.

摘要： An apparatus, method, and system associates an identifier with a data packet. The identifier uniquely identifies a communication module, such as a host interface card, within a data storage system. In operation, a computer host sends a data packet to a server. The communication module receives the data packet and associates an identifier, unique to the communication module, with the data packet. The data packet is stored in a disk array, such as a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) system. When the computer host later requests the stored data packet, a validation module, which may be implemented within a PCI adapter such as a host interface card, retrieves the data packet and determines whether the data packet is corrupt. If the data packet is corrupt, the validation module identifies which host interface card corrupted the data with the use of the unique identifier associated with the data packet. The faulty communication module may then be removed from operation in the data storage system.

A ratio module determines a track compression ratio. The track compression ratio is a ratio of an integer value n to one. A destage module destages a single directory entry for the data file to a directory. The directory entry points to a zeroth track on a hard disk drive. The destage module further destages the data file sequentially to tracks of the hard disk drive from the zeroth track with n logical tracks of the data file stored on one physical track of the hard disk drive. A stage module stages a kth logical track from a physical track of the hard disk drive. The physical track is specified by an integer value of k divided by n.
