发明名称 Configuring and relaying events from a storage controller to a host server
摘要 A mechanism is provided for relaying events from a storage controller to a host server. Responsive to identifying an event occurring within a storage device, a notification is sent to a device server in the host server with which the event is associated. A server virtual disk is identified using a unique identification of the server virtual disk. Responsive to identifying the server virtual disk, at least one device executing an application on the host server is notified of an impending degradation in a mode of operation.

主权项 1. A method, in a data processing system, for relaying events from a storage controller to a host server, the method comprising: responsive to identifying an event occurring within a storage device, sending, by a host view manager within the storage controller, a notification to a device server in the host server with which the event is associated, wherein the host view manager identifies the device server in the host server based on a configuration and wherein the configuration of the host view manager comprises: issuing, a processor within the storage controller, a login event to the device server; exporting, by the device server, information identifying a set of server virtual disks to the storage controller; issuing, by the processor, inquiry commands to the device server or each rver virtual disk in the set of server virtual disks; returning, by the device server vital product data associated with each of the set of server virtual disks to the storage controller; issuing, by the processor, a read capacity command to the device server for each server virtual disk in the set of server virtual disks: and for each server virtual disk in the set of server virtual disks, responsive to an indication of zerosize capacity, configuring, by the processor, the server virtual disk in the host view manager; identifying, by the device server, a server virtual disk using a unique identification of the virtual disk; and responsive to identifying the server virtual disk, notifying, by the device server, at least one device executing an application on the host server of an impending degradation in a mode of operation.
