Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for concurrently relocating a RAID array. The apparatus includes an identification module, a designation module, and an implementation module. The identification module identifies an availability of a physical device within a donor arrayed storage device to offload a source drive of a relocation enclosure. The designation module designates an available physical device as a target drive and thereby designate the target drive and the source drive as a linked pair. The implementation module implements a mirroring relationship between the target drive and the source drive. The apparatus, system, and method provide a dynamic relocation of the raid array, minimizing system downtime and maximizing efficient utilization of system resources.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for providing an address format compatible with different addressing formats used for addressing different sized address spaces. An address format is used in an operating system to address storage space in a storage device comprising a first region and a second region of storage space. A first group of applicat ions uses the address format to only address the storage space in the first region and is not coded to use the address format to access the second region and a second group of applications uses the address format to address the storage space in the first and second regions.

Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zum Migrieren von Datenträgern in einem Speichersystem offenbart. Bei einer Ausführungsform beinhaltet ein derartiges Verfahren das Erkennen eines Datenbereichs (der zu einem Datenträger gehört), dessen Migration aus einem Quellbereich in einen Zielbereich erforderlich ist. Das Verfahren weist dem Datenbereich eine ausgewählte Anzahl von Kopierern zu, um den Datenbereich aus dem Quellbereich in den Zielbereich zu migrieren. Jeder Kopierer ist dafür konfiguriert, eine Dateneinheit zu kopieren, wobei eine Einheit ein kleinerer Teil des Datenbereichs ist. Das Verfahren überwacht Auslagerungen (d. h. Schreiboperationen) in den Quellbereich, während die Kopierer den Datenbereich aus dem Quellbereich in den Zielbereich migrieren. In dem Fall, dass die Auslagerungen schneller vonstattengehen, als die Kopierer Einheiten zu dem Zielbereich kopieren können, ordnet das Verfahren dem Datenbereich zusätzliche Kopierer zu, um das Migrieren des Datenbereichs zu unterstützen. Eine entsprechende Vorrichtung und ein entsprechendes Computerprogrammprodukt werden hier ebenfalls offenbart.

Abstract: Information bearing signals are recorded in one of a plurality of record formats on one record medium, such as a magnetic tape, magnetic disk, optical disk, and the like. The format selected may be commanded or based upon record lengths, in bytes. When the record length equals or exceeds a predetermined number of bytes, then one record is recorded in each signal block of the record format. When the record length is less than the predetermined number, then a second format is used which inserts several of the records in one of the signal blocks. The signal block and its packets respectively contain indications of formats such that any one of several formats may be used on one record medium and in one signal block having a plurality of variable length packets. Logical indicators, such as format marks, tape marks, and the like, may separate formats used on the storage medium.

Abstract: A method and system for limiting access to a media storage device such as a tape drive unit. In accordance with the inventive method, a set of control parameters is generated for the device for a given application program. A tape control unit uses the parameters to process commands from the application program and thereby control access to the tape. In an illustrative application, an extent is defined on the tape and controls are defined which govern the type of access permitted within the extent. The system rejects any commands which attempt to access medium outside of the defined extent. Write and formatting commands within the extent are limited and partition changes, loads and unloads are prohibited.
