摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for increasing processor utilization. A list of work is divided for processing among a plurality of processes, wherein a process is allocated a part of the list of work to process, and the processes execute in parallel. If a process completes the list of work allocated to the process then the process is made available on an available process queue. Before a process performs any work, the process reads the available process queue and determines if any process is available to share the work. If so, the work is split up between the examining process and the available process. In one implementation, the work involves scanning a cache and if necessary destage data.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for forming a consistency group of data. A command is received to form a consistency group with respect to data received at a first storage site that is mirrored to a second storage site. A first data structure is provided indicating updates to the first storage site not included in the consistency group that are received after the command and a second data structure is provided indicating updates to the first storage site in the consistency group to be formed. A command is transmitted to cause data copied to the second storage site that is part of the consistency group to be copied to a third storage site. Indication is received when the data in the second storage site that is part of the consistency group is copied to the third storage site.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for forming a consistency group of data. Information is provided on a consistency group relationship indicating a plurality of slave controllers and, for each indicated slave controller, a slave storage unit managed by the slave controller. A command is transmitted to each slave controller in the consistency group relationship to cause each slave controller to transmit data in the slave storage unit to a remote storage in a manner that forms the consistency group. A determination is made as to whether all the slave controllers successfully transmitted the data in the slave storage units that is part of the consistency group to the remote storage.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for establishing a point-in-time copy. A source relationship data structure and target relationship data structure are generated when establishing a point-in-time copy relationship between source and target storage areas, wherein the source and target relationship data structures each include an indicator for each source storage area and corresponding target storage area in the point-in-time copy relationship. The source and target relationship data structures are initialized to set the indicator for each source storage area and corresponding target storage area in the point-in-time copy relationship to a first value. A determination is made that data was written to one target storage area after establishing the point-in-time copy relationship. The indicators in the source and target relationship data structures corresponding to the source storage area and corresponding target storage area to which data was written are set to a second value.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for managing resources in which a local processor sends remote operation requests to be executed by a remote processor having multiple resources. In the illustrated embodiment, the local processor and the remote processor each have a resource manager, each of which maintains a control set for each resource of the remote processor. Each control set of the remote processor resource manager includes a queue for queuing remote operation requests awaiting execution in connection with the resource associated with the control set. Each control set of the local processor resource manager includes a credit counter which keeps track of permissible outstanding remote operation requests. Each local processor control set credit counter is decremented for each remote operation request for the associated resource sent to the remote processor and is incremented for each acknowledgment received from the remote processor. For each remote processor control set, the remote processor resource manager sends an acknowledgment for each remote operation request initiated in connection with the associated resource. For each local processor control set, the local processor resource manager queues remote operation requests if the control set credit counter falls below a threshold after being initialized in accordance with the capacity of the associated remote processor control set queue.

摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program for managing data. A data request is received to a target track in a relationship, wherein the relationship associates a source track with the target track. A destage request to destage the source track is submitted in response to the data request to the target track, wherein executing the data request to the target track is conditioned on receiving a completion response to the destage request. If the source track is not in cache, then a complete response is returned to the destage request. If the source track was in cache when the relationship was established, then the destage request is added to an Input/Output (I/O) queue for the source track. After the source track is destaged in response to processing the destage request in the I/O queue, the complete response is returned to the destage request.

摘要： A target data storage system comprises a peer-to-peer communication link interface for linking the target to a source data storage system, and data storage for storing point in time copy data received from the source via the peer-to-peer communication link interface. Information is established at the target relating logical identification of the point in time copy data to point in time copy data stored at the target and to point in time copy data stored at the source, such that the information references the data storage system having requested point in time copy data. A controller of the target accesses requested point in time copy data at the target if the table indicates that the requested point in time copy data is available at the target; else obtains the requested point in time copy data from the source via the peer-to-peer communication link interface.

摘要： Disclosed is a technique for applying changes back to an original copy of data to reduce an amount of data transferred. A first indicator is maintained for each block of data in a first storage to indicate whether the block of data has been updated in the first storage since the block of data was last transferred to a second storage. A second indicator is maintained for each block of data in the second storage to indicate whether the block of data has been updated in the second storage since the block of data in the second storage was overwritten by a corresponding block of data in the first storage. Upon receiving a reverse restore operation, each block of data in the second storage for which a second indicator has been set to indicate that the block of data has been updated is transferred to the first storage and each block of data in the second storage that corresponds to a block of data in the first storage for which a first indicator has been set to indicate that the block of data in the first storage has been updated is transferred to the first storage.
