Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving an indication that memory has entered a protected state. Additionally, I/O requests intended for target locations in the memory are received. A determination is made as to whether the target locations are permitted to perform I/O requests while the memory is in the protected state. In response to determining one or more of the target locations are not permitted to perform I/O requests while the memory is in the protected state, the respective one or more of the received I/O requests are denied. However, in response to determining one or more of the target locations are permitted to perform I/O requests while the memory is in the protected state, the respective one or more of the received I/O requests are performed at the one or more target locations.
