20150020050 | AUTOMATED VERIFICATION OF APPLIANCE PROCEDURES - For automated verification of appliance procedures using a processor device in a computing environment, a testing configuration is dynamically configured for automatically testing software by adding and/or removing at least one application device from one of the testing configurations for creating a plurality of appliance configurations. | 01-15-2015 |
20150032928 | OPTIMIZED REDUNDANT HIGH AVAILABILITY SAS TOPOLOGY - For optimizing redundant high availability serial attached SCSI storage (SAS) topology by providing multiple paths to a same SAS target through a single SAS port on a base unit in a computing environment, the SAS port of a raid controller is attached to one of a multiplicity of just a bunch of disks (JBOD) expansion units having SAS expanders using an SAS cable for providing limited hardware footprint. Load balancing is provided between the base unit and each of the SAS expanders by converting the single SAS port into both dual and redundant paths using the SAS cable. | 01-29-2015 |
20150082081 | WRITE CACHE PROTECTION IN A PURPOSE BUILT BACKUP APPLIANCE - For write cache protection of purpose built backup appliances in a computing environment, backup data of the write cache is created using a server memory that includes the write cache in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) system. The server memory is not controlled by a failing RAID card and/or NVRAM card that controls the write cache. The backup data in the server memory is flushed to a persistent storage device subsequent to detecting a failure of the write cache for enabling recovery of the backup data using the persistent storage device during a reboot operation. | 03-19-2015 |
