    Abstract: A data storage system which automatically provides and maintains identical secondary data on a preferably geographically remote secondary data storage device. The system includes a primary host computer located in the first geographic location which is coupled to a primary data storage system also located in the first geographic location. The primary data storage system includes at least one primary data storage device on which primary data is to be stored, and a primary data storage system controller which receives data from the primary host computer and controls the storing of the primary data on the primary data storage device. The primary data storage controller is coupled by high speed communication link to a secondary data storage system controller of a secondary data storage system, and coordinates the copying of the primary data to the secondary data storing system, and is responsive to an acknowledgement from the secondary data storage system controller of at least successful receipt of the primary data for updating the maintained list of the primary data to indicate that the copied primary data has been received by the secondary data storage system to be copied to the secondary data storage device.

    Abstract: A system and method (25, 27) for providing on-line, real-time, transparent data migration from a first data storage system (14) to a second data storage system (16). The second data storage system is interposed between a host (12) and the first data storage system. A data map (24) identifies data elements stored on the second data storage system and corresponding data elements copied from the first to the second data storage system. In response to a host data request, the second data storage retrieves the data if stored therein. Otherwise, the second data storage system retrieves the data from the first data storage system, writes the data to itself and updates the data map. When not busy servicing requests, the second data storage system copies data from the first to the second data storage device independently of any coupled host.

    Abstract: A cache management system and method monitors and controls the contents of cache memory (12) coupled to at least one host (22a) and at least one data storage device (18a). A cache indexer (16) maintains a current index (25) of data elements which are stored in cache memory (12). A sequential data access indicator (30), responsive to the cache index (16) and to a user selectable sequential data access threshold, determines that a sequential data access is in progress for a given process and provides an indication of the same. The system and method allocate a micro-cache memory (12) to any process performing a sequential data access. In response to the indication of a sequential data access in progress and to a user selectable maximum number of data elements to be prefetched, a data retrieval requestor requests retrieval of up to the selected maximum number of data elements from a data storage device (18b). A user selectable number of sequential data elements determines when previously used micro-cache memory locations will be overwritten. A method of dynamically monitoring and adjusting cache management parameters is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Two data storage systems are interconnected by a data link for remote mirroring of data. Each volume of data is configured as local, primary in a remotely mirrored volume pair, or secondary in a remotely mirrored volume pair. Normally, a host computer directly accesses either a local or a primary volume, and data written to a primary volume is automatically sent over the link to a corresponding secondary volume. Each remotely mirrored volume pair can operate in a selected synchronization mode including synchronous, semi-synchronous, adaptive copy-remote write pending, and adaptive copy-disk. Direct write access to a secondary volume is denied if a "sync required" attribute is set for the volume and the volume is not synchronized.
