Abstract: With N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), a managed system can be configured so that multiple logical partitions (LPARs) can access independent physical storage through the same physical fiber channel adapter. An NPIV client recovery component of a virtualization management component, such as a Power Hypervisor (pHYP), provides the emulation mapping between server and client virtual fiber channel adapters. The pHYP also provides a mechanism that prevents client partition crashes when the NPIV server (e.g., a VIOS logical partition) goes down. When the NPIV server is rebooted or powers down, the pHYP handles the client LPARs to avoid a crash by removing processing resources from the client logical partition. Thereby, the client logical partition is prevented from attempting to access a root volume group in physical storage via the NPIV server. The pHYP allocates processor resources to the client LPAR when the NPIV server is again available for I/O processing.

Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to a staging engine. A system may comprise two computing devices. The first computing device may be accessible to a plurality of users. The second computing device may be inaccessible to the plurality of users, but accessible by the first computing device. The first computing device may cause a user interface (“UI”) to be presented to a user accessing the first computing device. The UI may include data retrieved from the second computing device and may be operable to store data. The data entered into the UI for storage may be incomplete relative to the data structures expected by the second computing device. The first computing device or the second computing device may stage the data until additional data that completes the expected data structures is received. After the expected data is complete, the data may be stored.

A mass data storage computer located on the unmanned vehicle can store the first and second data sets based on the predetermined association, and execute requests from the remote data storage system to transmit the first data set from the unmanned vehicle to the remote data storage system, and to transmit selected ones of the second data set from the unmanned vehicle to the remote data storage system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for altering a scope of data synchronization are disclosed. The scope of data synchronization is altered in real-time via user interactions with the data. In one embodiment, a client device may include folder stubs that reference folders of information stored at a remote server.

The scope of data synchronization may also be contracted. In response to a user commanding the client device to de-synchronize a synchronized folder, the scope of synchronization may be contracted to exclude the folder and any sub-folders.

The device identifies data stored in the storage system that may be accessed by the host entity, based at least on the information.

Abstract: In a cluster environment, nodes participating in the cluster may generate packets with the same source IP to the same destination IP. If those packets get fragmented down stream, then reassembling this packets depends on the source IP, destination IP, protocol and the IP identifier field (IPID) of the IP packet. As the source IP, destination IP and protocol may be fixed, the IPID generation is coordinated across the nodes to support reassembly down stream and avoid tuple collision. The IPID space may be equally split among the nodes in the cluster. Each node generates IPID within its range to avoid a collision with an IPID generated from another node.

Abstract: A method and system for managing actions of a network device based on policy settings retrieved according to the identity of at least one connected removable wireless communications device. The decision to retrieve the policy settings from an authorized party is also based on whether the network device is able to use the at least one connected removable wireless communication device and whether the policy settings has already been stored in a storage medium of the network device according to the identity, wherein the policy settings correspond to the identity. When retrieving the policy settings from the authorized party, the request includes the identity. When the policy settings have been retrieved, the network device executes the policy settings. The removable wireless communications device provides communication between the network device and a network over a wireless network communication channel.
