Abstract:
An apparatus, method, and computer program for maintaining access times in a data processing system, wherein the data processing system comprises a plurality of storage devices, the apparatus including: a receive component, for receiving a command or an availability message, wherein an availability message indicates whether the storage device is available; an evaluate component for evaluating a plurality of first relationships between the storage devices and a plurality of first values, wherein each of the first values indicates whether a related storage device is a redundant; a send component, for sending a power message to one or more of the storage devices; and an update component for updating a second relationship between the redundant storage device and a plurality of second values, wherein each of the second values indicates whether a related redundant storage device is available.
