20120308011 | INTEGRATED KEY SERVER - A computer program product for integrated key serving is provided. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes using a smart card of two or more smart cards with a support element of two or more support elements to create an encryption key and storing the encryption key in an encrypted file that can only be decrypted by the smart card and the support element used to create the encryption key. | 12-06-2012 |
20120311133 | FACILITATING PROCESSING IN A COMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENT USING STOP SIGNALING - Processing, such as debug and/or recovery processing, within a communications environment is facilitated. Responsive to detecting an event, a stop signal is propagated through a communications network of the communications environment, and each network element that receives the stop signal, transmits the signal to its neighbors (if any), and then performs an action depending on its specific programming. The action can be to take no action, perform a debugging action or perform a recovery action. The elements that receive the signal and perform the same action as other elements form a coordinated network providing a coordinated result. | 12-06-2012 |

20120311373 | SIDEBAND ERROR SIGNALING - Fast error reporting is provided in networks that have an architected delayed error reporting capability. Errors are detected and reported without having to wait for a timeout period to expire. Further, failures of other components caused by the delay are avoided, since the delay is bypassed. | 12-06-2012 |

20130339573 | OPTIMIZING WRITE PERFORMANCE TO FLASH MEMORY - Embodiments relate to optimizing write performance of a flash device. Aspects include receiving a request to evict a plurality of pages from a main memory and determining a block size for the flash device. Aspects also include grouping the plurality of pages from the main memory into a move specification block, wherein a size of the move specification block is the block size and writing the move specification block to the flash device. The block size being determined based on one or more operational characteristics of the flash device. | 12-19-2013 |
20130339784 | ERROR RECOVERY IN REDUNDANT STORAGE SYSTEMS - Embodiments relate to providing error recovery in a storage system that utilizes data redundancy. An aspect of the invention includes monitoring plurality of storage devices of the storage system and determining that one of the plurality of storage devices has failed based on the monitoring. Another aspect of includes suspending data reads and writes to the failed storage device and determining that the failed storage device is recoverable. Based on determining that the failed storage device is recoverable, initiating a rebuilding recovery process of the failed storage device based on determining that the failed storage device is recoverable and restoring data reads and writes to the failed storage device upon completion of the rebuilding recovery process. | 12-19-2013 |
20150261281 | CONTROL OF SOLID STATE MEMORY DEVICE TEMPERATURE USING QUEUE DEPTH MANAGEMENT - Embodiments relate to controlling a temperature of a solid state memory device using queue depth management by monitoring an operating temperature of each of a plurality of solid state drives of the solid state memory device. Based on a determination that the operating temperature of one of the plurality of solid state drives exceeds local device threshold values, the method includes receiving an indication that one or more local measures have been taken by the solid state memory device. Based on a determination that the operating temperature of one of the plurality of solid state drives exceeds a secondary global threshold value, the method includes reducing a queue length for the solid state memory device. | 09-17-2015 |
20150261451 | LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT OF SOLID STATE MEMORY ADAPTORS - Embodiments relate to lifecycle management of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects of the invention include monitoring a remaining life of each of a plurality of solid state memory adaptors in a system and creating a log of a wearing of each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Aspects further include transmitting the log to a service element and receiving a supplemental data from the service element and determining a threshold value for each of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors. Based on determining that the remaining life of one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors is below the threshold value for the one of the plurality of solid state memory adaptors, aspects also include creating a service call to request that the one of the solid state memory adaptors be replaced. | 09-17-2015 |
