Abstract: A database management system maintains a collection of data using a log-based storage structure. In response to a request to store data items (key-value pairs), the database management system stores mapping information to a data item in an in-memory data structure while the data items are stored on the log-based storage structure. The hash of the key includes information to identify an index entry that comprises information that maps to the location of the data item stored on the log-based storage structure.

Abstract: For efficient high availability for a multi-node cluster using a processor device in a computing environment, using duplicate, standby host-bus adaptors (HBAs) for alternate nodes with respect to a node with the duplicate, standby HBAs using duplicate credentials of active HBAs of the node for shutting down the node, taking an active HBA of the node offline, and/or activating one of the alternate nodes. A failed node is shut down by an active one of the plurality of alternate nodes using a fence device, and all jobs of the failed node are taken over by the active node using a shared data structure including SCSI device assignments, SCSI reservations, and required host notifications.

Abstract: For efficient reclamation of pre-allocated direct memory access (DMA) memory in a computing environment, hot-add random access memory (RAM) is emulated for a general purpose use by reclamation of pre-allocated DMA memory reserved at boot time by notifying a non-kernel use device user that the non-kernel use device has a smaller window, stopping and remapping to the smaller window, and notifying a kernel that new memory has been added, wherein the new memory is a region left after the remap. The hot-add RAM is split into at least two continuous parts.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for optimizing disaster recovery systems during takeover operations are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, a flag is set in a replication grid manager to identify replication grid members to consult in a reconciliation process for resolving intersecting and non-intersecting data amongst the disaster recovery systems for a takeover operation, including indicating those of the replication grid members that acquired ownership over cartridges belonging to source systems.

Abstract: Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for protecting data segments by a processor device in a computing environment, are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, a history table is configured to accompany data segments for consultation during a replication operation. If the history table indicates an ownership conflict, the replication operation is inhibited.

Abstract: Various embodiments for protecting data segments by a processor device in a computing environment, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises, if an error occurs during a replication operation from a source location to a destination location causing at least one of a plurality of data segments to be deleted in the source location, performing: executing a failback operation by a reverse replication process from the destination location to the source location, and regaining ownership of the data segments by the source location; and pursuant to the failback operation, performing: enabling the reverse replication process if an owner of the data segments is a designated one of the destination location, and adding an invalid owner notification in a history table, wherein the failback operation is identified for the designated one of the at least one destination location.

Abstract: Executing multiple concurrent transactions on the single database schema using a single concurrent transaction database infrastructure, wherein the single database schema is a single concurrent transactional relational database.

Abstract: Subsequent to a storage operation performed on the source instance by a source component, a synchronization message is sent to a replicated component for the replicated instance. The synchronization message is stored locally in a persistent storage location associated with the source component along with an indicator representative of a time the storage operation was performed. Pursuant to receipt of the synchronization message by the replicated component, the replicated component is updated to a dirty state to indicate a lack of full synchronization between the source and replicated instances.
