Error recovery in volatile memory regions

A computer implemented method comprising:

• determining, during a save operation that includes saving of non-volatile dual in-line memory module-software (NVDIMM-SW) content to a primary location, that an error occurred with respect to the save operation;
• based on a determination that the error occurred with respect to the save operation,
• determining an error location,
• determining whether the error location maps to a volatile memory region, and
• based on a determination that the error location maps to the volatile memory region, identifying a reserved location for saving the NVDIMM-SW content;
• saving the NVDIMM-SW content from the primary location to the reserved location;
• and
• updating metadata to indicate usage of the reserved location as the primary location for the saved NVDIMM-SW content.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine whether mirroring with respect to a save operation is enabled or disabled;
• based on a determination that the mirroring is disabled, determine, during the save operation that includes saving of data to a primary location, that an error occurred with respect to the save operation;
• based on a determination that the error occurred with respect to the save operation,
• determine an error location,
• determine whether the error location maps to a volatile memory region, and
• based on a determination that the error location maps to the volatile memory region, identify a reserved location for saving the data;
• save the data from the primary location to the reserved location;
• and
• update metadata to indicate usage of the reserved location as the primary location for the saved data.
