摘要： Deleting a data volume from a storage system and freeing its storage space to make it available to be allocated to a new volume is accomplished by only zeroing associated metadata for the tracks contained in the freed storage space which is then reused in a new volume allocation and an attempt is made by the new volume to read a first record R0 of a track. A determination is made as to whether a first user record R1 of the volume is stale If the first record R0 is stale. If record R1 is stale, the metadata or track format description (TFD) is modified whereby the entire track is indicated as being uninitialized and the first record R0 is uninitialized. If record R1 is not stale, the first record R0 is regenerated and the TFD is modified whereby the entire track is indicated as being initialized.

摘要： A method to initialize information disposed in an information storage and retrieval system comprising a data cache and one or more information storage media comprising a plurality of addresses. The method receives an initialization command, where that initialization command comprises a range of addresses and, optionally, an initialization pattern, where the plurality of addresses includes the range of addresses. The method forms and saves state information, where that state information includes the initialization pattern, and generates and saves a plurality of indicators, where that plurality of indicators includes an indicator for each track comprising the range of addresses. The method sets each of those indicators to a first value thereby indicating special handling, and provides an ending status signal, such that the receiving step, forming step, generating step, setting step, and providing step are performed substantially synchronously.

摘要： Embodiments for facilitating data transfer between a nonvolatile storage (NVS) write cache and a pool of target storage devices are provided. Each target storage device in the pool of target storage devices is determined as one of a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid-state drive (SSD) device, and classified into one of a SSD rank group and a HDD rank group. If no data is received in the NVS write cache for a predetermined time to be written to a target storage device classified in the SSD rank group, a threshold of available space in the NVS write cache is set to allocate at least a majority of the available space to the HDD rank group. Upon receipt of a write request for the SSD rank group, the threshold of the available space is reduced to allocate a greater portion of the available space to the SSD rank group.

摘要： Data management systems, such as used in disk control units, employ memory entry lists to help keep track of user data. Improved performance of entry list maintenance is provided by the present invention. Much of the protocol employed to conduct such maintenance is preferably performed by hardware-based logic, thereby freeing other system resources to execute other processes. New entries to the memory list are only allowed at predetermined addresses and entries are updated by writing a predetermined data pattern to a previously allocated address. Optionally, improved error detection, such as a longitudinal redundancy check, may also be performed in an efficient manner during entry list maintenance to assure the integrity of the list.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing unmodified tracks maintained in both a first cache and a second cache. The first cache has unmodified tracks in the storage subject to Input/Output (I/O) requests. Unmodified tracks are demoted from the first cache to a second cache. An inclusive list indicates unmodified tracks maintained in both the first cache and a second cache. An exclusive list indicates unmodified tracks maintained in the second cache but not the first cache. The inclusive list and the exclusive list are used to determine whether to promote to the second cache an unmodified track demoted from the first cache.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing metadata for data in a copy relationship copied from a source storage to a target storage. Information is maintained on a copy relationship of source data in the source storage and target data in the target storage. The source data is copied from the source storage to the cache to copy to target data in the target storage indicated in the copy relationship. Target metadata is generated for the target data comprising the source data copied to the cache. An access request to requested target data comprising the target data in the cache is processed and access is provided to the requested target data in the cache. A determination is made as to whether the requested target data in the cache has been destaged to the target storage. The target metadata for the requested target data in the target storage is discarded in response to determining that the requested target data in the cache has not been destaged to the target storage.

摘要： A computer program is disclosed providing a sequence of automated logic synthesis routines having three phases. Phase I identifies an estimated critical path by assuming optimum allocation within a "best-fit" preliminary assignment of the technology to a technology-independent model, and optimizes the estimated model for speed. Phase II provides a technology-legal model, and ends by calculating the actual timing provided by the technology-legal model. Phase III uses self-limiting routines, and routines that are unlikely to produce technology violations, to fine tune the production and performance characteristics of the legal model.

摘要： Exemplary computer systems and computer program products for efficient destaging of a write ahead data set (WADS) track in a volume of a computing storage environment are provided. In one embodiment, the computer environment is configured for preventing destage of a plurality of tracks in cache selected for writing to a storage device. For a track N in a stride Z of the selected plurality of tracks, if the track N is a first WADS track in the stride Z, clearing at least one temporal bit for each track in the cache for the stride Z minus 2 (Z−2), and if the track N is a sequential track, clearing the at least one temporal bit for the track N minus a variable X (N−X).
