    摘要: A mechanism is provided for monitoring I/O activity of each device and the total I/O activity for each adapter. When there is low I/O activity for the tape subsystem, the I/O for the disk subsystems may be spread across all available adapters and paths. When I/O activity for the tape subsystem increases, the I/O activity for the disk subsystems may be reduced on the adapter processing the tape I/O, but will continue across all other adapters. If the tape subsystem begins to report errors due to I/O starvation, the disk I/O activity may be adjusted until the errors stop.

    摘要: An error detection mechanism is provided for detecting sequential and distributed errors in a device I/O stream. The sensitivity of the errors is user definable. The result of the error detection is fed back into the path management software, which may use the error information to decide whether a device path should be disabled. The error detection mechanism sets a time span for a time window and counts the number of errors that occur during the time window. Each time a time window ends with at least one error, the sequential error count and the distributed error count are incremented. However, if an I/O returns without an error, the sequential error count is cleared. If the sequential error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled. After a predetermined number of time windows, if the distributed error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled.

    摘要: A method, computer program product, and a data processing system for maintaining object configuration data in a data processing system is provided. A first set of attribute entries is stored in a database. The first set of attribute entries is associated with a first object classification and a second object classification. A second set and a third set of attribute entries each comprising at least one attribute entry are stored in the database. The second set of attribute entries is associated with the first object classification, and the third set of attribute entries are associated with the second object classification. A first object of the first object classification is configured with the first set of attribute entries and the second set of attribute entries, and a second object of the second object classification is configured with the first set of attribute entries and the third set of attribute entries.
