  • Publication number: 20220308758
    Abstract: An approach for improving the writing an index file on tape storage by switching, via a tape drive, write sequences in an index partition, in which the tape drive switches between a normal wrap sequence and a reverse wrap sequence. Further, embodiments write the index information by the normal wrap sequence during initialization of the tape media, in which the tape media is being mounted for the first time. Additionally, embodiments write the index information by the reverse wrap sequence during an unmounting the tape media for the first time, and wherein the tape media is mounted based on index information written at a rearmost end of one or more data partitions during second and subsequent mounting.

  • Publication number: 20220300635
    Abstract: Provided is a system for managing search queries using encrypted cache data. A processor may receive a search query and encrypted cache data from a search client. The processor may search an index for a listing of target data that matches the search query. The processor may decrypt the cache data and collate the cache data with the listing of target data to ascertain a first accessibility determination to a first data. The processor may query a data source server to ascertain a second accessibility determination to a second data. In response to the query, the processor may receive the second accessibility determination. The processor may prepare a result list by removing a third data from the target data in response to at least one of the first accessibility determination and the second accessibility determination indicating that the third data is inaccessible by the search client.

  • Publication number: 20220291855
    Abstract: In an approach to automatically reclassifying files in an HSM system, responsive to occurrence of a recall to move a file on a hierarchical storage system from a secondary storage to a primary storage, whether stub metadata exists for the file is determined. Responsive to determining that stub metadata exists for the file, whether reclassification of the file is necessary is determined based on the stub metadata. Responsive to determining that the reclassification of the file is necessary, the file is reclassified, where the reclassification uses a latest classification model, and further where the stub metadata is updated with results of the reclassification. The file is migrated from the primary storage to the secondary storage based on the stub metadata.
