Abstract: Storage pool information indicates an assignment of a plurality of storage units to a plurality of storage pools, wherein each pool is assigned zero or more storage units, wherein data associated with one storage pool is stored in a storage unit assigned to the storage pool, wherein the storage pool information for each pool indicates a threshold and target storage pool, and wherein the target storage pool is capable of being different from the stora ge pool. One storage unit associated with a source storage pool is selected and a determination is made of the threshold from the storage pool information for the source storage pool. A determination is made of whether the selected storage unit satisfies the determined threshold and if the selected storage unit satisfies the determined threshold, then a target storage unit in the target storage pool is selected if the storage pool information for the sour ce storage pool indicates a target storage pool different from the source stora ge pool. Data from the selected storage unit is copied to the selected target storage unit.

Abstract: A virtual tape system supporting at least one Write Once Read Many (WORM) logical tape and at least one read- write logical tape, comprises a processor configured to perform a first task and/or a second task. The first task initializes a new logical data object from a single pool of at least two logical data objects, with the new logical data object bound with a member of a media type group consisting of a WORM data object or a read- write data object. The second task reuses one of the logical data objects without manual ejection and reinsertion. The reuse may include the processor configured to cycle the logical data object through a scratch pool as a selected scratch logical data object and mount the selected scratch logical data object with a write from beginning of tape command to bind at least one data attribute to the WORM data object.

Abstract: Provided are methods for borrow processing in storage pools. A plurality of physical volumes are allocated to a first storage pool. A determination is made whether the first storage pool has less than a threshold number of empty physical volumes. If the first storage pool has less than the threshold number of empty physical volumes, then at least one empty physical volume is borrowed to the first storage pool from a second storage pool.

Abstract: A method to maintain information in a virtual tape system comprising a library inventory using a plurality of storage attributes. The method includes forming a dataset comprising information, and assigning one or more storage construct names to that dataset. The method provides the dataset and the one or more storage construct names to the virtual tape system. The method assigns a plurality of storage attributes to the logical volume using the one or more storage construct names. The method then selects storage management actions for the logical volume based upon those assigned storage attributes.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, a method, and article of manufacture to provide for obtaining data storage device specific information from a data storage device using standard read/write commands. This method uses a host application to write a unique sequence of records to a logical volume of the data storage device. The data storage device detects the unique sequence of records for the logical volume and writes device specific information to the logical volume allowing the host application the ability to read the data storage device specific information using a read command for the logical volume.
