Abstract: A computer program product is configured for performing a method including: generating at least one command message by a channel subsystem of the host computer system, the at least one command message including one or more device command words (DCWs), wherein at least one DCW of the one or more DCWs includes a suppress-length indication (SLI) configured to instruct a control unit to continue to perform the I/O operation in response to the control unit detecting that the data count does not match an amount of data required; receiving an incorrect length (IL) value, the IL value being a first IL value in response to the SLI being a first SLI value and the data count not matching the amount of data required; and responsive to receiving the IL value from the control unit, storing an IL indicator in a subchannel-status word.

Abstract: In Reaktion auf Empfangen eines Eingabe/Ausgabe- (E/A-) Befehls über eine Busschnittstelle wird ein Cachetreffer erzeugt. In Reaktion auf das Erzeugen des Cachetreffers wird eine Aktualisierung für eine Metadatenspur in einem Puffer gespeichert, der einer den E/A-Befehl verarbeitenden zentralen Verarbeitungseinheit (CPU) zugeordnet ist. Die Metadatenspur wird aus dem Puffer mit der im Puffer gespeicherten Aktualisierung für die Metadatenspur asynchron aktualisiert.

Abstract: Bereitgestellt werden ein Computerprogrammprodukt, ein System und ein Verfahren zum Verwenden eines Spurformatcodes in einem Cache-Steuerblock für eine Spur in einem Cache, um Lese- und Schreibanforderungen in Bezug auf die Spur im Cache zu verarbeiten. Eine Spurformattabelle ordnet Spurformatcodes zu Spurformatmetadaten zu. Es wird eine Ermittlung vorgenommen, ob die Spurformattabelle Spurformatmetadaten aufweist, die mit Spurformatmetadaten einer in den Cache verlagerten Spur übereinstimmen. Es wird eine Ermittlung vorgenommen, ob ein Spurformatcode aus der Spurformattabelle für die Spurformatmetadaten in der Spurformattabelle mit Spurformatmetadaten der verlagerten Spur übereinstimmt. Für die Spur, die zum Cache hinzugefügt wird, wird ein Cache-Steuerblock erzeugt, der den ermittelten Spurformatcode beinhaltet, wenn die Spurformattabelle die übereinstimmenden Spurformatmetadaten aufweist.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product system and method for managing data in a cache system comprising a first cache a second cache and a storage system. A determination is made of tracks stored in the storage system to demote from the first cache. A first stride is formed including the determined tracks to demote. A determination is made of a second stride in the second cache in which to include the tracks in the first stride. The tracks from the first stride are added to the second stride in the second cache. A determination is made of tracks in strides in the second cache to demote from the second cache. The determined tracks to demote from the second cache are demoted.

Abstract: Provided a computer program product, system, and method for cache management of tracks in a first cache and a second cache for a storage. The first cache maintains modified and unmodified tracks in the storage subject to Input/Output (I/O) requests. Modified and unmodified tracks are demoted from the first cache. The modified and the unmodified tracks demoted from the first cache are promoted to the second cache. The unmodified tracks demoted from the second cache are discarded. The modified tracks in the second cache that are at proximate physical locations on the storage device are grouped and the grouped modified tracks are destaged from the second cache to the storage device.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using an attribute of a write request to determine where to cache data in a storage system having multiple caches including non-volatile storage cache in a sequential access storage device. Received modified tracks are cached in the non- volatile storage device integrated with the sequential access storage device in response to determining to cache the modified tracks. A write request having modified tracks is received. A determination is made as to whether an attribute of the received write request satisfies a condition. The received modified tracks for the write request are cached in the non- volatile storage device in response to determining that the determined attribute does not satisfy the condition. A destage request is added to a request queue for the received write request having the determined attribute not satisfying the condition.

Abstract: A method for moving data in a computing storage environment having a cache memory with at least a lower level and a higher level 218 comprises; splitting or dividing a data segment [600, fig. 6A] comprising partial data segments (including at least one which has been requested) into a requested portion of data 606 and an unrequested portion 608; positioning the requested data at a most recently used (MRU) end if a demotion queue in the higher level of cache; positioning the unrequested data at a least recently used (LRU) portion of the demotion queue; and pinning the unrequested data in place until a write of the entire data segment to the lower level of cache completes. The higher level cache may be dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and require fewer resources to access than the lower level cache, which may be flash memory. It may be determined whether one of the partial data segments should be cached on the lower level prior to promoting the whole data segment.
