    摘要: Various embodiments provide for creating a self-contained portable output file that includes a de-duplicated version of data. According to one embodiment, data, which includes a selected group of files, is partitioned into subblocks. A de-duplicated version of the data is created by eliminating a second subblock from the data and using a first subblock to represent the second subblock, if the second subblock is a duplicate of the first subblock. A self-contained portable output file, which includes the de-duplicated version of the data, is created.

    摘要: Example apparatus and methods concern a tape library that can initiate an action. One example method may include controlling a tape library to perform a media scanning operation associated with an extended data life management policy. The extended data life management operation may be associated with an application representation of tape drives, slots, and tapes on the tape library. The method may include determining a result of the media scanning operation and selectively controlling the tape library to either provide status or to issue a command based on the result. In one example, conventional status may be returned when a media scan operation result (e.g., tape scan) indicates the tape is fine while a command may be issued when the result indicates the tape may need to be fixed, copied, or replaced.

    摘要: Example methods, and apparatus concern file repair. One example method includes storing a file in a file store and also parsing the file into a set of constituent data blocks. The method includes selectively storing, in a data store, unique data blocks from the set of constituent data blocks. The method includes maintaining, in a combination of the file store and the data store, a threshold number of copies of data blocks. The method also includes maintaining a data structure that stores data for locating the file in the file store and that stores data for recreating the file from data blocks. The method also includes maintaining a data structure that stores data for locating multiple copies of data found in members of the set of constituent data blocks. Files can be repaired using data blocks parsed from stored files or using data blocks stored as data blocks.

    摘要: An open systems based media storage library system (10) for use by one or more hosts (5) includes a first hosted partition (12A) and a pool partition (14). The first hosted partition (12A) can be accessed by one of the hosts (5). Additionally, the first hosted partition (12A) includes a plurality of first hosted resources (16, 18). The plurality of first hosted resources (16, 18) can include a plurality of first hosted storage slots (16) and a plurality of first hosted storage media (18). The plurality of first hosted storage slots (16) includes one or more first physical storage slots (16P) and one or more first logical storage slots (16L). The plurality of first hosted storage media (18) are positioned within the first physical storage slots (16P). The pool partition (14) is inaccessible by any of the hosts (5).

    摘要: Example articles of manufacture, methods, and systems facilitate having encryption policy follow an article of manufacture like a tape cartridge. One example article of manufacture includes a media portion (e.g., tape) and a non-media portion (e.g., housing). The media portion is configured to store machine readable information. The article of manufacture could be a tape, a disk, a memory, and other computer readable media. The article of manufacture also includes an encryption policy information indicator. The encryption policy information indicator can be configured to store information that controls an encryption policy associated with the article of manufacture. Therefore, encryption policy can, for example, follow a tape cartridge rather than be resident solely in a controlling application (e.g., tape library).

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward methods and systems for data de-duplication. More particularly, in various embodiments, the present invention provides systems and methods for data de-duplication that may utilize storage reclamation. In various embodiments, data de-duplication may be performed using data storage reclamation by reconciling a list of all active tags against a list of all tags present within the object store itself. Any tags found to be in the object store that have no corresponding active usage may then be deleted. In some embodiments additional steps may be taken to avoid race conditions in deleting tags that are needed by incoming data. In some embodiments the object store may request the lists. In other embodiments, a runtime list, in which each new tag is entered as they are returned from the object store. In another embodiment the object store may maintain this list directly.

    摘要: A method for monitoring changes in an inventory of media cartridges in a media library includes the steps of determining with a controller that the inventory of media cartridges in the media library has changed, and asynchronously reporting with the controller the specific change in inventory of media cartridges that has occurred in the media library. The method can also include the step of determining whether the change in inventory included an increase or a decrease in the quantity of media cartridges within the media library, or whether the change in inventory did not include an increase or decrease in the quantity of media cartridges within the media library. Further, the method can also include the step of determining whether the change in inventory of media cartridges is required to be reported. A media library system includes a media library having a plurality of media cartridges, and a controller that determines a change in an inventory of media cartridges in the media library. In certain embodiments, the controller asynchronously and selectively reports a specific change in the inventory of media cartridges in the media library.
