Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for optical inspection systems and methods for moving objects. In some embodiments, an optical inspection system includes: an image capturing device configured to acquire images from moving objects; a first-stage storage system; a second-stage processor; a second-stage storage system; a third-stage processor; and a third-stage storage system. In some embodiments, an optical inspection system, includes: an image capturing device; a volatile memory system; a first and a second second-stage processor; and a third-stage storage system. The second-stage processor or the first second-stage processor can be configured to analyze the images from the image capturing device. The third-stage processor or the second second-stage processor can be configured to process information from a processor and/or storage system and produce a report.

Abstract: A hypervisor preferably provides VM identification, priority and LUN/LBA range information to the HBA when a VM is created. Alternatively, the HBA can determine that a LUN/LBA range is new and request VM identity, priority and LUN/LBA range from the hypervisor. The HBA creates a table containing the VM identification, priority and LUN/LBA range. The HBA then detects operations directed to the LUN/LBA range and does a lookup to determine VM identification and priority. VM identification and priority are then mapped into a field in a frame using a unique identifier. The unique identifier can either be placed using reserved bits on the existing Fibre Channel (FC) header or can use bits in an additional header, such as a modified IFR header.

Abstract: A diagnostic testing utility is used to perform single link diagnostics tests including an electrical loopback test, an optical loopback test, a link traffic test, and a link distance measurement test. To perform the diagnostic tests, two ports at each end of a link are identified and then statically configured by a user. The ports will be configured as D_Ports and as such will be isolated from the fabric with no data traffic flowing through them. The ports will then be used to send test frames to perform the diagnostic tests.
