    Abstract: In one aspect the invention provides a signal bearing medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions that are executable by a digital processing apparatus to perform operations to determine a maintenance fee for a data storage system. The operations include monitoring at least one data storage device during operation of the data storage system to determine a duty cycle and determining a current value of the maintenance fee based at least in part on the determined duty cycle. In a further disk drive-based embodiment the operations may include, or be instead, determining a disk drive redundancy configuration of disk drives of a data storage system. The operations then compare the determined duty cycle to a threshold value and assert a redundancy configuration change signal based on the result of the comparison. For a RAID configuration embodiment having a RAID level, the asserting operation asserts a RAID level change signal based on the result of the comparison.

    Abstract translation: 在一个方面,本发明提供了一种有形地体现机器可读指令程序的信号承载介质,其可由数字处理装置执行以执行确定数据存储系统的维护费用的操作。 操作包括在数据存储系统的操作期间监视至少一个数据存储设备,以至少部分地基于所确定的占空比来确定占空比并确定维护费用的当前值。 在另一个基于磁盘驱动器的实施例中,操作可以包括或者替代地确定数据存储系统的磁盘驱动器的磁盘驱动器冗余配置。 然后,操作将确定的占空比与阈值进行比较,并根据比较结果确定冗余配置改变信号。 对于具有RAID级别的RAID配置实施例,基于比较的结果,断言操作断言RAID电平改变信号。

    Abstract: A data management system has at least one class distinction cue associated with a class of data entities. The class distinction cue comprises data management guidance information and priority information related to the associated class of data entities. For a data entity, at run-time, a data management allocation run-time system references the class distinction cue o r cues prior to conducting data management allocation or access, and, based on the priority information as compared to other priority information related t o the data storage resources, selectively allocates the data storage resources and provides the operations of the storage system in the data management allocation system for the data entity.

    Abstract: In a data processing system with translation of the logic addresses, predetermined in the programs, into the physical addresses necessary for memory access, special devices are provided by means of which flexible allocation of address areas for various categories of information or various types of programs is possible. The address translator arrangement has a separate translator unit (stack 0... stack 7) for each address area. In addition, an arrangement (20...35) for storing various address keys for various categories of information and for outputting one of these keys each on the basis of present memory access control signals is provided. One of the translator units is then in each case selected with the aid of the output address key by means of an additional selection device (40). This makes it possible to obtain different physical addresses from the same logic address during the translation, dependently on which category of information is to be accessed at the time and dependently on the address key in each case allocated to the category of information.
