A tracking module tracks link failures of a network link of a network over a specified time interval. A failure module determines the network link is failing in response to a number of link failures exceeding a specified failure threshold. A mitigation module mitigates communications over the network link. | 01-12-2012 |
20120039331 | STORAGE AREA NETWORK PATH MANAGEMENT - A path selection module selects at least two fibre channel paths between a fibre channel host and a fibre channel destination. A trace route module performs one or more fibre channel trace route procedures for each of the at least two fibre channel paths. The trace route module provides a set of fibre channel links between the fibre channel host and the fibre channel destination for each of the at least two fibre channel paths. A record registration module registers with one or more event servers to receive link incident records for the fibre channel links in the sets of fibre channel links. | 02-16-2012 |
20120044084 | CABLE MANAGEMENT DISPLAY - An approach to cable management is presented. A bi-stable liquid crystal display that requires no power to maintain an image is attached to a communications cable. A bi-stable liquid crystal display may be attached to each end of the cable. The bi-stable liquid crystal displays may be built into the connectors. A display module connects to the bi-stable liquid crystal display and receives signals associated with a message about the communications cable. The display module causes messages to be shown on the bi-stable liquid crystal display in response to receiving the signal. The signal may be generated by a user with a hand held driver. The signal may also be generated automatically by computing devices (such as switches) that are attached to the communications cable. Users may easily determine information about the communications cable by looking at the messages on the bi-stable liquid crystal displays. | 02-23-2012 |

20090164513 | Method and Apparatus For Mapping Encrypted and Decrypted Data Via Key Management System - A data processing system having a host computer including a key manager, a control unit connected to the host computer, a data storage unit (such as a tape drive) controlled by the control unit, and data storage medium for storing data thereon to be written to or read from by the data storage unit. The key manager stores a data structure having at least one record having a volume serial number, as start location, a length entry, and a key for encrypting and decrypting data on the data storage medium. A data storage medium (such as data tape) is mounted on the data storage unit, and a volume recorded on the tape is retrieved. The control unit retrieves the data structure from the key manager and matches the volume serial number recorded in the retrieved data structure with the volume serial number retrieved from the data storage medium. It they match, the control unit passes to the data storage unit, commands to turn on or turn off encryption dependent upon the location where data is written by the data storage unit onto the data storage medium, or to turn on or turn off decryption dependent upon the location where data is read by the data storage unit from the data storage medium. | 06-25-2009 |
20090164715 | Protecting Against Stale Page Overlays - A method, data processing system and program product for protecting against stale page overlays which includes executing a process in memory of the data processing system. A storage controller pages data from the memory to a disk in pages when the memory is constrained by other processes being executed by the data processing system. Data is then paged from the disk into memory in a one or more paged-in pages. The paged-in page is updated with updated data by the process, and the version on the disk is marked as stale. The storage controller commands the disk to make the stale disk version of the updated paged-in page as write-only, thereby providing that the disk version may be overwritten with new data while providing that the disk version cannot be read. | 06-25-2009 |

20090106805 | Providing a Blade Center With Additional Video Output Capability Via a Backup Blade Center Management Module - A blade center is provided with an additional video output system which includes additional video output capabilities to allow a user to point to another blade within the blade center to work locally on a blade that does not include media tray access. The local access is granted via a control (e.g., a button) on the control panel of the blades or a control on the chassis or management module that allows the user to specify which blade to use for the second video output connection to a KVM console or direct host connect. This video output system advantageously allows more than one blade to be interactively utilized in a graphic environment at any time. Other blades executing local applications can be accessed and/or modified while another blade is accessing the media tray for installations and using one of the video output controls. | 04-23-2009 |
