Autonomic Recovery Of Pprc Errors Detected By Pprc Peer

US Patent:
7127636, Oct 24, 2006
Filed:
Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/658054
Inventors:
Sam C. Werner - Tucson AZ, US
Paul M. Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Warren K. Stanley - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 6
Abstract:
A method for initiating a data storage facility recovery process in a data processing system having a first peer data storage facility and a second peer data storage facility communicating with the first peer data storage facility by a communication link. The method of initiating a recovery process is invoked by one peer data storage facility upon another peer data storage facility operating under a peer to peer remote copy (PPRC) protocol. Data copied from a first peer data storage facility to a second peer data storage facility is monitored for errors. Upon detection of an error by one peer data storage facility, recovery and data collection operations are initiated on the other peer data storage facility. Preferably, the initiation of recovery and data collection operations occurs out of band, over a second communication link between the peer data storage facilities.

Apparatus, System, And Method For Identifying A Faulty Communication Module

US Patent:
7251753, Jul 31, 2007
Filed:
Sep 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/666660
Inventors:
Michael Thomas Benhase - Tucson AZ, US
Susan Kay Candelaria - Tucson AZ, US
Paul Matthew Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Brian Anthony Rinaldi - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 42, 714 4
Abstract:
An apparatus, method, and system associates an identifier with a data packet. The identifier uniquely identifies a communication module, such as a host interface card, within a data storage system. In operation, a computer host sends a data packet to a server. The communication module receives the data packet and associates an identifier, unique to the communication module, with the data packet. The data packet is stored in a disk array, such as a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) system. When the computer host later requests the stored data packet, a validation module, which may be implemented within a PCI adapter such as a host interface card, retrieves the data packet and determines whether the data packet is corrupt. If the data packet is corrupt, the validation module identifies which host interface card corrupted the data with the use of the unique identifier associated with the data packet. The faulty communication module may then be removed from operation in the data storage system.

US Patent:
7366890, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Nov 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/990912
Inventors:
Stephen LaRoux Blinick - Tucson AZ, US
Paul Matthew Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

G06F 9/00, G06F 9/24, G06F 15/177
US Classification:
713 2, 713 1, 713100, 714 46
Abstract:
Provided are a method, system, deployment and article of manufacture, wherein in one embodiment, a mode of operation may be switched to a service mode by detecting a device inserted into a connector of an input/output port of a system. In the illustrated embodiment, the device has a connector and a wire which loops a code received from the input/output port back to the input/output port. Upon detecting receipt of the transmitted code, the mode of operation may be switched to a service mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Apparatus And System For Adjusting Trace Data Granularity

US Patent:
7451357, Nov 11, 2008
Filed:
Nov 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/992528
Inventors:
Gary I. Dickenson - Tucson AZ, US
Thomas Charles Jarvis - Tucson AZ, US
Paul Matthew Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 45
Abstract:
An apparatus and system are disclosed for adjusting trace data granularity. An initialization module sets a base granularity for trace data recorded for a component. A registration module registers a condition counter comprising a condition set. The threshold module sets a count threshold for the condition counter. An increment module counts each instance of the condition set. An adjustment module adjusts the granularity of trace data stored for the component to a modified granularity if the condition count exceeds the count threshold. In one embodiment, a timer module times an adjusted trace data granularity time interval. The adjustment module may set the granularity of the trace data to the base granularity when the adjusted trace data granularity time interval exceeds a specified time interval.

Apparatus, System, And Method For Facilitating Monitoring And Responding To Error Events

US Patent:
7523359, Apr 21, 2009
Filed:
Mar 31, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/095062
Inventors:
Paul Matthew Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Brian Anthony Rinaldi - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 49, 714 57
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for facilitating monitoring and responding to error events. An apparatus may includes a set of counters associated with a processing system resource, each counter associated with an error event and having attributes defining a count value, counter thresholds directly related to time, and empirical status information for the error event related to time. A user may adjust counter thresholds indirectly to set an error tolerance. An update module may update counters within the set based on an error event for the processing system resource. The management module persists and maintains a life cycle for counters based on counter attributes. Each counter may be of two types either a fixed counter that counts error events from a start time for a defined duration or a sliding counter that counts error events up to a predefined number of error events within a window of time.

Selection Of Status Data From Synchronous Redundant Devices

US Patent:
7624336, Nov 24, 2009
Filed:
Nov 8, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/984071
Inventors:
Timothy James Crawford - Beaverton OR, US
James Mathew Davison - Tucson AZ, US
Daniel Fernando de Araujo - Tucson AZ, US
Paul Matthew Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714820, 375341, 382151
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for selecting status data. Redundant views are obtained from multiple synchronous redundant devices. It is determined that the redundant views from the multiple synchronous redundant devices are conflicting. A redundant view score is calculated for each of the redundant views based on one or more characteristics from each of at least two characteristic types, wherein the characteristics are associated with weighted scores. One of the redundant views is selected based on the calculated redundant view score for each of the redundant views.

Dynamic Threshold Scaling In A Communication System

US Patent:
2006012, Jun 8, 2006
Filed:
Nov 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/989562
Inventors:
Daniel De Araujo - Tucson AZ, US
Paul Richards - Tucson AZ, US
Brian Rinaldi - Tucson AZ, US
Todd Sorenson - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G11C 29/00
US Classification:
714721000
Abstract:
A computer system including an error recovery system establishes error threshold inversely proportional to the number of a like kind of system resources, such as host adapters. When a host adapter is initialized or deactivated, a software subcomponent of a processing device calculates a new threshold number and writes it to a memory location associated with each host adapter. When a number of errors exceeds the threshold number, the host adapter is reset, quiesced for repair, or fenced for replacement.
