摘要： Optimizing the retrieval of blocks of data from a tape media of a longitudinal serpentine tape drive. A device block map (DBM) is retrieved from the tape media and stored in memory. The DBM comprises a table having one or more rows and one or more columns for each block of data stored on the tape media. The columns are selected from the group comprising a wrap column, a position column, a logical block column, and a file identifier column. One or more retrieval paths for requested blocks of data are determined from an image of the physical layout of the requested blocks on the tape media generated by linear interpolation of the DBM stored in memory. Each of the retrieval paths comprises an ordered sequence of the blocks of data and the manner in which the tape media is to be traversed to accomplish the retrieval of the ordered sequence. A sum of distances is determined for each of the retrieval paths and an optimal one of the retrieval paths is selected based on the determined sum of distances. Thereafter, the blocks of data are retrieved from tape media using the optimal retrieval path.

摘要： A plurality of tape drives writes a plurality of indicators corresponding to a plurality of data units on a tape, wherein an indicator indicates which tape drive of the plurality of tape drives has written a corresponding data unit on the tape. Each of the plurality of tape drives generates an extent of read errors, in response to reading the plurality of data units written on the tape. The extent of read errors generated by each of the plurality of tape drives are aggregated at a computational device coupled to the plurality of tape drives. A determination is made at the computational device of a defective tape drive of the plurality of tape drives from the aggregated extent of read errors.

摘要： A data storage system for use with a tape cartridge storing data in a serpentine pattern on tape media, and having a memory device for storing a device block map for the tape median, comprises tape drive, or a loading mechanism, which first positions the tape cartridge at memory interface for transfering the device block map from the memory device to a processor, and subsequently positions the tape media for reading and/or writing. The processor processes the device block map from the memory device for optimal retrieval of the serpentine pattern data of the tape media. The processing of the device block map occurs while the tape media is positioned for reading and/or writing, so that the processor begins the retrieval reading process immediately upon the positioning of the tape media. In another aspect of the invention, a robotic accessor of an automated data storage library moves the tape cartridge to the tape drive. The tape cartridge is positioned at the memory interface on the robotic accessor, and the stored device block map is transferred from the memory device to the processor, during the move.
