Scsi Device Translator For Network

US Patent:
7783783, Aug 24, 2010
Filed:
Mar 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/102930
Inventors:
Steven R. Hetzler - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel F. Smith - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709250, 709246
Abstract:
A system and method for interfacing a non-SCSI device to a computer network for communicating with a SCSI device attached to the computer network is disclosed. An interface receives a SCSI-based communication message from the network that is intended for the non-SCSI device. The SCSI-based communication can be formatted for transport over, for example, a TCP/IP transport stream and includes, for example, a command descriptor block and accompanying data. A translator device converts a first SCSI-based communication message to a corresponding first non-SCSI communication message that is recognizable by the non-SCSI device. A translator device also receives a second non-SCSI communication message from the non-SCSI device and converts the second non-SCSI communication message into a corresponding second SCSI-based communication message. The interface device, responsive to the second SCSI-based communication message, sends the second SCSI based communication message to the network.

Multipath Data Retrieval From Redundant Array

US Patent:
7899881, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Jan 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/016597
Inventors:
Steven Robert Hetzler - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel Felix Smith - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
709217, 709223, 709224, 709225, 714 22, 714 42, 711114, 711112
Abstract:
An optimum pathway to data stored on a data storage system having N storage devices and more than N pathways is determined in response to a read request for the data. A sorter separates the read request into an appropriate segment size for sending to the storage devices of the data storage system. An assigner generates the set of read permutations satisfying the read request. A read permutation is selected based on a metric. A collector receives the requested data from the N storage devices in response to the selected read permutation being sent to the storage devices.

System And Method For Responsive Process Management Driven By Business Visibility And Complex Event Processing

US Patent:
2013001, Jan 17, 2013
Filed:
Apr 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/448998
Inventors:
Daniel D. SMITH - San Jose CA, US
Prashant THUMMA - Londonderry NH, US
Sheldon BORKIN - Natick MA, US
John BATES - Nashua NH, US

M. A. KETABCHI - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
PROGRESS SOFTWARE CORPORATION - Bedford MA
International Classification:
G06Q 10/06
US Classification:
705 736
Abstract:
A business process management (BPM) system, a business event processing system, and a business visibility system are integrated into a responsive process management platform using standardized messages to permit communication and collaboration among the systems. The BPM system has the capability to model and execute at least one monitoring process including at least one monitoring workstep. This monitoring process makes visible in the BPM system processes of interest that are executing in external systems. The business event processing system and/or the business visibility system have tools to allow users to easily configure those systems to sense events and send appropriate standardized messages to the other systems, can extract and send data to the BPM system, and can send alerts to the BPM system.

Autonomic Parity Exchange

US Patent:
7281177, Oct 9, 2007
Filed:
Jul 14, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/619649
Inventors:
Steven Robert Hetzler - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel Felix Smith - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11C 29/00
US Classification:
714710, 714777
Abstract:
Error tolerance is increased for a storage system having a plurality of arrays by making local redundancy in a selected array globally available throughout the storage system. To achieve the increased error tolerance, a donor array is selected from the plurality of arrays when the difference between a minimum Hamming distance of the donor array and a minimum Hamming distance of a recipient array is greater or equal to 2. A donor storage unit is selected in the donor array and recipient information is then rebuilt from the recipient array on the selected storage unit. The selected storage unit is indicated to the donor array as having been donated before the lost information is rebuilt on the selected storage unit. Preferably, the minimum Hamming distance of the recipient array is d≧2 before the donor array is selected from the plurality of arrays.

Data Storage System With Power Management Control And Method

US Patent:
7702853, Apr 20, 2010
Filed:
May 4, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/744283
Inventors:
Steven R. Hetzler - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel F. Smith - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711114, 713320
Abstract:
Disclosed are a redundant data storage system (e. g. , a RAID system) and a method of operating such a redundant data storage system that provides significant power savings with minimal reduction in reliability. The system and method allow up to half of the memory devices in any of the memory arrays in the system to be placed in standby without significantly impacting the read accesses. The system and method further designate reserved areas in the active memory devices as write-journals, which have at least the same level of protection as the main arrays. The write-journals allow data to be written without powering up a standby memory device. Thus, power consumption is minimized without impacting reliability.

Anamorphic Codes

US Patent:
8386891, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
Jan 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/358593
Inventors:
Steven Robert Hetzler - Los Altos CA, US
Daniel Felix Smith - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H03M 13/00
US Classification:
714777
Abstract:
The error tolerance of an array of m storage units is increased by using a technique referred to as “dodging. ” A plurality of k stripes are stored across the array of storage units in which each stripe has n+r elements that correspond to a symmetric code having a minimum Hamming distance d=r+1. Each respective element of a stripe is stored on a different storage unit. An element is selected when a difference between a minimum distance of the donor stripe and a minimum distance of a recipient stripe is greater or equal to 2. The selected element is also stored on a storage unit having no elements of the recipient stripe. A lost element of the recipient stripe is then rebuilt on the selected element.
