  • Patent number: 7146453
    Abstract: A method and computer that reduces ABENDs due to end of volume encounters of a job. The method provides an extend-to-new volume processing in response to such encounters. The method permits the definition of primary storage groups and extend storage groups and allows the linking of an extend storage group to a primary storage group. When the job encounters an end-of-volume condition on the current storage volume and is further unable to extend to a new volume in the primary storage group, the method then tries to find a new volume in one or more extend storage groups that are linked to that primary storage group. If no new volume can be found in an extend storage group, an ABEND process is performed.

  • Patent number: 6998259
    Abstract: Enzymatic digests of whey protein concentrates were prepared using animal, bacterial and fungal proteases, and evaluated for antihypertensive activities. The highest ACE-inhibitory activity was obtained with the purified peptide ?-1g (f142–148) obtained by chemical synthesis, for which an IC50 value of 0.04 mg powder.ml?1 was found. The hydrolysates derived from BiPRO™ whey protein isolate and ?-1g both gave higher antihypertensive activities (IC50 values of 0.29 to 0.90 mg powder.ml?1) than the other hydrolysates tested (IC50 values of 0.96 and 1.30 mg powder.ml?1). The recovered hydrolysate can be used to treat hypertension in mammals such as humans and domestic pets such as dogs and cats.

  • Patent number: 6959369
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and program for data backup. A backup copy of source data is created. A backup dataset inventory is created when the backup copy is created. The backup dataset inventory includes a backup dataset identifier and an originating source volume identifier for cach dataset of the source data. The backup copy is copied to a storage medium. A storage media inventory is created when copying the backup copy to the storage medium. The storage media inventory includes the originating source volume identifier and a storage media identifier for each dataset of the source data. This single backup scheme eliminates having to issue both image copies for individual dataset recovery, as well as, separate full volume dumps for recover of failed physical volumes or to recover an entire application.

  • Patent number: 6934800
    Abstract: A computer system that includes a computer and a storage system. The storage system includes a plurality of storage resources, each of which includes one or more storage volumes. Data sets are allocated among the storage volumes according to a policy of requirements and preferences based on separation of critical data sets so that a single point of failure in one storage resource will have minimal impact on data sets stored in a different resource. According to the method, a second currently stored data set to be separated from a new first data set is identified. A storage resource and any volume thereof that contains the second data set is identified. An eligible volume list for selection of a storage volume for the first data set is formed according to the policy. The storage volumes of the storage resource identified as containing the second data set are excluded from the eligible volume list.

  • Patent number: 6732244
    Abstract: A method of copying a body of source data is shown, with rapid creation of an a backup dataset inventory. While write operations to the source data are temporarily suspended, a backup manager conducts an instant virtual copy of the source data creating a backup copy. Also while write operations are being suspended, the backup manager captures contents of a source dataset inventory cross-referencing datasets in the source data and locations in the body of source data where the datasets are stored. After the copy operation completes and writes to the source data resume, the backup manager adds the captured backup contents to a backup dataset inventory cross-referencing datasets in the backup copy and locations where the backup copy datasets are stored in the backup copy.

  • Publication number: 20030158849
    Abstract: A dynamic construct is associated with one or more operational parameters of one or more components of a storage management system, wherein a pointer to the construct is retained in metadata for the storage management system, the values of the construct are stored in a first repository separate from a second repository normally used to store the metadata for the storage management system. The value of the construct in the first repository is allowed to change dynamically at any point of time without affecting the metadata in the second repository. Thereafter, the value of the construct in the first repository is retrieved and used as the operational parameter, instead of a static value in the metadata in the second repository. This provides a level of indirection that allows the construct to be applied dynamically in the storage management system.

  • Patent number: 6060093
    Abstract: A regimen for calcium supplementation takes advantage of the discovery that a calcium supplement containing modified whey characterized by a calcium content of at least 3%, protein content of from 10 to 20%, and a phospholipid content of at least 2%, is of high biological value. It can be accomplished with calcium-supplemented foods that administer foods containing sufficient amounts of the modified whey to provide at least 5% of the amount of calcium required for complete nutrition on a daily basis. The regimen can benefit humans and domestic pets, in particular. More preferred levels of administration will provide at least 10% and in some cases at least 25% of the RDA for calcium for the subject.
