Abstract: Software defined storage service (SDS) provides users with remote data volumes spread across multiple storage nodes across multiple failure domains. A distributed volume may be spread across replicas (e.g., failure domains), each replica having a number of partitions stored on storage nodes associated with a particular failure domain. In the event of a node failure, a partition stored on the failed node may be dynamically moved and remapped to another node in the same failure domain or within another failure domain that is different from a failure domain that includes a partition that is complementary to the partition stored on the failed node. The partition move and remapping may be transparent to a user. A partition move may occur while a distributed volume is in use by a client device or in an idle (e.g., offline) mode.

Abstract: A leader control plane node of a set of control plane nodes of a node cluster, may receive a request to store data in a distributed storage system including a set of access manager nodes. The leader control plane node may generate cache data identifying an instruction from the leader control plane node to one or more access manager nodes managed by the leader control plane node of the plurality of access manager nodes, the instruction instructing the one or more access manager nodes to store the data indicated in the request. The leader control plane node may then transmit a replication instruction to one or more follower control plane nodes of the plurality of control plane nodes to replicate the cache data in a respective cache of the one or more follower control plane nodes.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for communicating over multiple paths. A reserve interception module intercepts a single-path reserve command from a host. The host-computing environment is configured to issue single-path commands, but is not configured to issue multiple-path commands. A reserve generation module generates a multiple-path reserve command in response to the single-path command. A reserve command module reserves multiple paths between the host and the storage device using the multiple-path command, enabling the host to communicate over multiple paths with the storage device.

Abstract: System for processing programmable buttons using system control interrupts in a portable device. The system comprises a programmable button that comprises logic to generate a selected system control interrupt when actuated. The system also comprises interrupt logic coupled to receive the selected system control interrupt. The interrupt logic comprises logic to generate a button report that includes a button identifier, which indicates that the programmable button has been actuated. The system also comprises button support logic that is coupled to receive the button report, the button support logic comprises logic to determine a selectable device function associated with the button identifier, and logic to activate the selectable device function.

Abstract: Method for providing remote control of computer resources. The method allows a handheld device having an embedded operating system to remotely control one or more resources associated with a personal computer. The handheld device includes an interface to establish a communication channel with the personal computer. The method comprises steps of establishing a partnership between the handheld device and the personal computer using the communication channel, and sending a request from the handheld device to the personal computer using the communication channel, wherein the request is a request to control a selected resource associated with the personal computer.
