| 20080313727 | Dynamic Discovery and Database Password Expiration Management - An approach that proactively manages login security data is provided. The system selects requesters of a software application resource. A privileged requester is used to request login security data pertaining to the selected requesters. The login security data that is received is compared to one or more parameters that indicate which action(s) should take place. Based on this comparison, one or more actions are taken on behalf of the selected requesters. One of the actions that can be taken is a grace period. One of the actions that can be taken is an automatic security setting update. Another action that can be taken is an automatic notification that automatically informs a user or application that a requestor's access to the resource is about to expire. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20090063748 | Method and Apparatus for Providing Continuous Access to Shared Tape Drives from Multiple Virtual Tape Servers Within a Data Storage System - A method for providing continuous access to shared tape drives from two virtual tape server (VTS) nodes is disclosed. A group of tape drives are connected to two VTS nodes via a set of switches. Both VTS nodes can concurrently process requests to mount physical tape cartridges to separate tape drives. The selection of a tape drive to fulfill a volume mount request on a physical volume begins by locking down any access to a tape drive table having a composite view of all the tape drives shared between the two VTS nodes. An available tape drive is then selected to mount the physical volume, and an entry in the tape drive table is updated to claim ownership of the tape drive. A reservation command is sent to the tape drive to lock down any access to the tape drive, and the lock to the tape drive table is released. Having claimed ownership to the tape drive, the VTS node can now perform the volume mount request. | 03-05-2009 |
