Patent number: 9864706Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer program products for managing computing devices to handle an input/output (I/O) request. In one embodiment, the I/O request may eligible for performance throttling based, at least in part, on the associated importance level for performing the received I/O request and one or more characteristics of the received I/O request. Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer program products for throttling the I/O request and transmitting the I/O request to a storage controller.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Susan K. Candelaria, Scott B. Compton, Deborah A. Furman, Ilene A. Goldman, Matthew J. Kalos, John R. Paveza, Beth A. Peterson, Dale F. Riedy, David M. Shackelford, Harry M. Yudenfriend

Publication number: 20160378703Abstract: An input/output (I/O) request is received that indicates a priority for performing the received I/O request by a storage controller. If a base device is not available to handle the received I/O request, whether the received I/O request is eligible for performance throttling is determined. The received I/O request is transmitted to the storage controller indicating whether the received I/O request is eligible for performance throttling. An alias device is allocated to the base device based on the priority for performing the received I/O request. If the throttling information received from the storage controller for the previous I/O request indicates that a request type of the received I/O request is not being throttled, and it is determined that the received I/O request is a new request, then a control block is representing the base device is flagged, indicating that the received I/O request is eligible for performance throttling.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: Susan K. Candelaria, Scott B. Compton, Deborah A. Furman, Ilene A. Goldman, Matthew J. Kalos, John R. Paveza, Beth A. Peterson, Dale F. Riedy, David M. Shackelford, Harry M. Yudenfriend
