| 20080205300 | CHECKING AND REPAIRING A NETWORK CONFIGURATION - Disclosed is a technique for correcting a configuration problem. The configuration problem is detected. It is determined whether there is at least one solution for the configuration problem in a knowledge data store. When it is determined that there is at least one solution in the knowledge data store, automatically selecting a solution to solve the configuration problem. When said solution can be automatically applied, automatically applying said solution. When said solution cannot be automatically applied, notifying a user. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080209015 | CHECKING AND REPAIRING A NETWORK CONFIGURATION - A technique for performing configuration checking of a network is provided. A network data store is scanned for at least one transaction. At least one event is generated for the transaction. At least one configuration policy is associated with the event. The configuration policy is compared with configuration data associated with the event. It is determined whether the configuration policy has been violated based on the comparison. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080256309 | MAINTAIN OWNING APPLICATION INFORMATION OF DATA FOR A DATA STORAGE SYSTEM - A data storage system writes data supplied from a host to data storage in accordance with write I/O of an owning application. A workload manager directs the processing of the supplied data in accordance with the write I/O of the owning application, provides service workload identification describing the write I/O, a storage subsystem control adds the service workload identification to record set information for the data, and a journal management system stores the record set information in a journal. The journaled information, for example, may be employed for performing forensic analysis of data corruption events or to perform security audits, etc. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20080313414 | EXECUTION OF POINT-IN-TIME COPY OPERATIONS IN CONTINUOUS MIRRORING ENVIRONMENTS - Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture wherein a point-in-time copy operation command for a point-in-time copy of a point-in-time source volume to a point-in-time target volume is received while performing continuous copy operations from continuous copy source volumes to continuous copy target volumes. A determination is made as to whether the point-in-time target volume is a first continuous copy source volume and whether the point-in-time source volume is a second continuous copy source volume. A determination is made of metadata corresponding to the point-in-time copy operation, in response to determining that the point-in-time target volume is the first continuous copy source volume and the point-in-time source volume is the second continuous copy source volume. Point-in-time copy operations are performed on the continuous copy target volumes based on the determined metadata to execute the point-in-time copy operation command while performing the continuous copy operations. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090013015 | SYSTEM AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR TRANSPARENT AUTONOMIC DATA REPLICATION IMPROVING ACCESS PERFORMANCE FOR A STORAGE AREA NETWORK AWARE FILE SYSTEM - Techniques are provided for distributing data. It is determined that a source storage device is becoming a bottleneck. One or more blocks to be moved from the source storage device to one or more other storage devices are identified. The one or more other storage devices are selected. Copy services are used to move the blocks from the source storage device to the one or more other storage devices. A metadata store is updated with locations of the blocks that have been moved. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090037497 | SYSTEM AND ARTICLE OF MANFUACTURE FOR MAINTAINING DATA IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT FOR PROCESSING TRANSACTION REQUESTS - Provided are a system and article of manufacture for maintaining data in a distributed computing environment. Data is stored at a primary storage site. A data structure is processed indicating an association of data sets in the stored data, secondary storage sites, and update frequencies. In response to processing the data structure, a determination is made of one of a plurality of secondary storage sites and a determination is made of at least one data set to transmit to the determined secondary storage site at an update frequency. The determined data set is transmitted to the determined secondary storage site according to the update frequency. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090043980 | ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE AND SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMIC DATA CACHING AND COPYING ON A STORAGE AREA NETWORK AWARE FILE SYSTEM USING COPY SERVICES - Techniques are provided for processing a request. When the request is to read a data unit, information regarding the closest physical block locations is returned. When the request is to write to the data unit, information regarding one or more source block locations is returned, wherein the write is applied to one or more source blocks of the data unit. When a number of requests for the data unit exceed a threshold level and at least one quality of a service policy is not being met, a copy of the one or more source blocks of the data unit is created at a location selected based on proximity to at least one client computer from which the number of requests are high. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090055610 | MAINTAINING CONSISTENCY FOR REMOTE COPY USING VIRTUALIZATION - Provided are a system and article of manufacture for copying storage, wherein a first unit receives data updates from a second unit. The data updates are stored in a plurality of physical storage locations associated with the first unit. Links are generated to at least one of the plurality of physical storage locations to achieve consistent data between the first unit and the second unit. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20100217857 | CONSOLIDATING SESSION INFORMATION FOR A CLUSTER OF SESSIONS IN A COUPLED SESSION ENVIRONMENT - Provided are a method, system, and program for consolidating session information for a cluster of sessions in a coupled session environment. Information for each of a plurality of sessions comprising a cluster is stored in a memory of a processor session. Each session associates at least one primary system and at least one secondary system, wherein within each session, updates are copied from the at least one primary system to the at least one secondary system. The session information in the memory for the plurality of sessions is processed to generate consolidated session information for the cluster based on the session information for the sessions in the cluster. The consolidated session information for the cluster is written to a master data set maintaining information for sessions. | 08-26-2010 |
