Abstract

See full text

A method of error management in a data storage system having a target device, with the target device receiving commands from a first initiator and the target device concurrently receiving commands from a second initiator. The target device is typically a storage device operating as a PPRC secondary. A first initiator is a device which communicates with the target device through small computer systems interface (SCSI) protocol. The first initiator is typically a host computer or server. The second initiator communicates with the target device through peer-to-peer remote copy PPRC initiator mode commands. The second initiator is typically a separate storage device in a peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC) relationship with the target device. The method consists of managing errors associated with a command sent to the target device from the first initiator independently from the management of errors associated with a command sent to the target device from the second initiator.
