While backwards compatibility was maintained, the older access methods suffered from performance problems due to the address translation required for virtual storage. The KSDS organization was designed to replace ISAM, the Indexed Sequential Access Method. Changes in disk technology had meant that searching for data in ISAM data sets had become ...
A virtual storage area network (virtual SAN, VSAN or vSAN) is a logical representation of a physical storage area network (SAN). A VSAN abstracts the storage-related operations from the physical storage layer, and provides shared storage access to the applications and virtual machines by combining the servers' local storage over a network into a single or multiple storage pools.
5740-AM3 Sequential Access Method Extended (SAM-E) SAM-E improves the performance of BPAM, BSAM and QSAM on direct access storage devices. 5740-AM8 Access Method Services Cryptographic Option 5748-UT2 Offline 3800 Utility. In June 1980, IBM announced MVS/System Product (MVS/SP) as a replacement for MVS/SE.
MVS/XA, or Multiple Virtual Storage/Extended Architecture, was a version of MVS that supported the 370-XA architecture, which had a new I/O architecture and also expanded addresses from 24 bits to 31 bits, providing a 2 gigabyte addressable memory area. [9]
Virtual Disk - a unit of storage presented to the host. The release 6 GUI refers to a VDisk as a Volume. Managed Disk (MDisk) - a unit of storage (a LUN) from a real, external disk array, virtualized by the SVC. An MDisk is the base to create an image mode VDisk.
These early steps did improve usability and efficiency of storage when used in virtual infrastructures but did not address the fundamental disconnect between virtual infrastructures and storage. Namely, virtual infrastructure is designed to manage VMs while storage was designed to manage LUNs and volumes, which have no direct relationship with VMs.
An access method is a function of a mainframe operating system that enables access to data on disk, tape or other external devices. Access methods were present in several mainframe operating systems since the late 1950s, under a variety of names; the name access method was introduced in 1963 in the IBM OS/360 operating system.
