| 20090063575 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PRODUCTS FOR DYNAMIC IMAGE CREATION FOR COPY SERVICE DATA REPLICATION MODELING - Modeling a set of images representing a group of data replication states and displaying, to a customer, the group of data replication states and generating the model that graphically displays a copy solution; including creating an image data modeling definition, where the image data modeling definition includes a definition of the set of images representing the group of data replication states. The method also includes creating a group of dynamic images, using the definition of the set of images representing the group of data replication states included in the image data modeling definition, where creating the group of dynamic images includes: specifying how to draw site and role specific parts of the group of dynamic images and specifying how to draw arrows that connect each role of the group of dynamic images. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090132753 | REPLICATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH UNDO AND REDO CAPABILITIES - A method for replicating a volume of data including UNDO and REDO data replication commands includes identifying a current state of the database through a point in time (PIT) copy of all volumes to be affected, ensuring that enough storage volume is identified to carry out the point in time copies and if not, the appropriate user warning issued notifying the user that the UNDO or REDO functions will not be available for a particular session. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090150459 | HIGHLY AVAILABLE MULTIPLE STORAGE SYSTEM CONSISTENCY HEARTBEAT FUNCTION - The present invention provides for a method and system for performing a high availability consistency heartbeat function from multiple consistency managers in a networked data storage system. A secondary consistency manager is utilized to send a heartbeat and manage data replication if the primary consistency manager is unable to successfully send a heartbeat to the replicating storage devices. The secondary consistency manager sends this heartbeat with an identifier identical to the heartbeat previously sent by the primary consistency manager. When the primary consistency manager returns to the network, it can resume its active, controlling role, or the primary consistency manager may swap roles with the now-active secondary consistency manager. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090319945 | INTERFACE FOR USING DESIRED STATE COMMANDS ON A COPY SERVICES MANGEMENT SYSTEM - A data replication management interface is provided for selecting a state for replicating data from one site to another site. A pictorial representation of and/or a command line for multiple states is displayed. A pictorial representation of a current state is displayed. Each one of the multiple states respectively corresponds to multiple steps to accomplish each one of the multiple states. The multiple states are configured to be individually selected. An individual selection of one of the multiple states causes the multiple steps for the individual selection to be accomplished. The individual selection of one of the multiple states is selected by a user without requiring the user to choose any of the multiple steps to accomplish the individual selection. | 12-24-2009 |
