Abstract: In one embodiment, storage drive dependent track removal processing logic performs destage tasks for tracks cached in a cache as a function of whether the storage drive is classified as a fast class or as slow class of storage drives, for example. In one embodiment, a destage task configured for a slow class storage drive, transfers an entry for a track selected for destaging from a main cache list to a wait cache list to await destaging to the slow class drive. A destage task configured for a fast class storage drive allows the cache list entry for the selected track to remain on the main cache list while the selected track is being destaged to the fast class storage drive, thereby bypassing the transfer of the entry to a wait cache list. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for detecting a type of storage adapter connected to an Input/Output (I/O) bay and miscabling of a microbay housing the storage adapter. Under control of an Input/Ouput (I/O) bay, cable sidebands are driven high for a predetermined period of time. It is determined whether a cable sidebands response has been detected that indicates that the cable sidebands have been driven low. In response to determining that the cable sidebands response has been detected, it is determined that the I/O bay is connected to a first storage adapter supporting a first protocol for the cable sidebands. In response to determining that the cable sidebands response has not been detected, it is determined that the I/O bay is connected to a second storage adapter supporting a second protocol for the cable sidebands. Moreover, I/O bay and port numbers stored by the microbay are used to determine miscabling.
