Patent number: 9645991Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for grouping columns of data into different levels for subsequent multiple level operations. The method comprises the steps of providing sub-columns within a single table column, said table columns and each of the sub-columns having an associated header; and using multiple dummy tables and displaying them separately on different locations, one of the dummy tables including one or more of the associated headers. The preferred embodiment of the invention uses a tool, referred to as the Jtable class, which is used to display and edit regular two-dimensional tables of cells. The present invention is able to support multilevel headers and column spanning by using multiple tables and displaying them separately. Preferably, this is done using another tool, GridBagLayout, which is associated with Jpanel tool.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda Van Patten Benhase, Maria S.

Patent number: 7917660Abstract: Consistency for replicating data storage subsystem configurations in accordance with a “golden” configuration file. A data storage subsystem comprises a blade system configured to support a plurality of blades and a storage system, each arranged in a predetermined slot of the blade system, and at least one zoneable switch whose zoning is disabled at power on. A management module operates the blade system to power on all slots. The storage system, in accordance with a “golden” configuration file, transfers port enablement sequencing to the switch, and the switch enables and zones ports in sequence to allow the server blades to see the storage system in accordance with the port enablement sequence. The storage system is configured with the “golden” configuration file to log on the server blades in accordance with the port enablement sequence to logically configure the server blades in accordance with the “golden” configuration file.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda Van Patten Benhase, John Charles Elliott, Robert Akira Kubo, Gregg Steven Lucas

Patent number: 7814071Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for maintaining dynamic persistent data. A selection module selects the most recent metadata. A verification module verifies that the metadata has been successfully updated. A validation module validates that the metadata is accurate. A communication module communicates the Persistent Storage Device data to a system processor if the metadata is validated. A storage module may store primary and secondary information of data, metadata, and data state variables.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2007Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda Van Patten Benhase, Jason James Graves, Robert Akira Kubo

Patent number: 7716309Abstract: Consistency for replicating data storage subsystem configurations in accordance with a “golden” configuration file. A data storage subsystem comprises a blade system with a plurality of slots, the blade system configured to support a plurality of blades and a storage system, each arranged in a predetermined slot of the blade system. The storage system arranges a logical configuration of the server blades in accordance with a “golden” configuration file. The server blade slot versus WWN information is collected and provided to the storage system. The storage system converts the “golden” configuration file slot information to WWNs. The server blades are enabled for access to said storage system as they log on with WWNs in accordance with the “golden” configuration file.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda Van Patten Benhase, John Charles Elliott, Robert Akira Kubo, Gregg Steven Lucas

Patent number: 7305418Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for pairing objects for the purpose of copying data. The method comprises the steps of selecting such pairs in a single view including graphical depictions of representations of storage resources, and implementing checks and alert messages regarding such pairings based on predefined rules. Preferably, these graphical depictions are side-by-side depictions in the single view of a logical configuration of the storage resources, and, for example, these depictions may be hierarchical trees. Preferably, users are able to select a single source and target volume and/or to select blocks of source and target volumes using familiar computer controls, and users may also confirm their selections before committing to them. These volumes may be in the same or different storage subsystems. In addition, some error checking and/or error handling, with an appropriate error message is preferably built into the tool of this invention.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2003Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Linda Van Patten Benhase, Mary Catherine Burton, Shekhar Gajanan Kale, Amy Nicole Morris
