A tool for performing remote part reseat actions. Responsive to receiving a request for a scheduled operation, the tool generates an operation table in a push file. Responsive to a determination that there is at least one redundant component for the scheduled operation, the tool identifies the at least one redundant component. The tool determines one or more tolerable errors for the at least one redundant component. The tool appends the at least one redundant component and the one or more tolerable errors to the operation table in the push file. The tool schedules the push file to prescribe one or more recovery operations for the scheduled operation.

Performing remote part reseat actions

An abstraction for storage class memory is provided that hides the details of the implementation of storage class memory from a program, and provides a standard channel programming interface for performing certain actions, such as controlling movement of data between main storage and storage class memory or managing storage class memory.

Configure storage class memory command

An aspect of the invention is a method that includes receiving a request from a requestor to reclaim a portion of a memory assigned to a virtual machine (VM). The memory includes real memory that is divided into a plurality of increments. An amount of paging space that will be occupied by the VM subsequent to reclaiming the portion of the memory is predicted. Based on the predicted amount of paging space exceeding a threshold, the requestor is notified that the portion of the memory cannot be reclaimed. Based on the predicted amount of paging space not exceeding the threshold, a reclamation of the portion of the memory is initiated. The reclamation includes vacating an increment of the plurality of increments and removing an assignment of the increment to the VM.

Self-determination for cancellation of in-progress memory removal from a virtual machine

Technical solutions are described for securely deploying a shrouded virtual server. An example method includes sending, by a host manager, authentication information of a hosting system to a client device in response to a request from the client device. The \method also includes receiving a request to deploy a virtual server using a shrouded mode. The method also includes deploying a preconfigured hypervisor on the hosting system, where the preconfigured hypervisor is deployed in an immutable mode that disables changes to security settings of the preconfigured hypervisor. The method also includes deploying, by the preconfigured hypervisor, a preconfigured boot image as an instance of the virtual server on the preconfigured hypervisor. The method also includes sending, by the host manager, an identifier of the virtual server for receipt by the client device.

Deconfigure storage class memory command

Store storage class memory information command

A computer program product for integrated key serving is provided. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes using a smart card of two or more smart cards with a support element of two or more support elements to create an encryption key and storing the encryption key in an encrypted file that can only be decrypted by the smart card and the support element used to create the encryption key.

Integrated key server

A system to check for memory leaks in storage may include a data processing application executing via a computer processor, and storage to store data generated by the data processing application. The system may also include a monitor executing via the computer processor that checks the storage over different time intervals in order to identify a particular sized memory leak in the storage based upon each time interval's length.
