Patent number: 9569629Abstract: System, computer program product, and method embodiments for communication between a kernel operational on a storage subsystem and a key manager (KM) through a hardware management console (HMC) to provide encryption support are provided. In one embodiment, an event request is initiated by the kernel to the KM to execute an event flow. Pursuant to a communication request by the kernel to the HMC, a socket of the HMC is opened along a communication path between the KM and the kernel according to an event flow type selected by the KM for the event flow. Data including a data payload is sent by the KM to the kernel, the data payload corresponding to the selected event flow type.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kurt A.

Patent number: 8423712Abstract: Storage segments in a storage volume coupled to a cache memory are released and re-allocated. A processor receives notice to release a segment allocated to the storage volume. A release pending status is assigned to the segment while preparing the segment for release. The storage volume is enabled to re-claim the segment while the segment includes the release pending status.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Brian D. Hatfield, Kurt A. Lovrien, Oladimeji O. Omoniyi
