  • Network element recovery process
    Patent number: 7596083
    Abstract: A method for recovering circuits of a network element in a communications network includes determining a recovery interval in response to a failure occurring in the network element, and collecting recovery data relating to at least one circuit provisioned in the network element during the recovery interval to support a network service. The recovery data includes identification data and provisioning data. A connection with the network element is established based on the identification data, and the circuit is reprovisioned based on the provisioning data. The method may also include detecting whether an error occurred while reprovisioning the circuit, and logging any detected errors.

  • Storage control subsystem implemented with an application program on a computer
    Patent number: 5530845
    Abstract: A storage controller is disclosed which may emulate several types of specialized host specific and/or storage device specific storage controllers. The storage controlling system can transfer information between one or more different types of target units and one or more channels of at least one host. The system is provided with a computer, which includes a first interface, a second interface, and a programmable storage controller. The first interface is configured to receive one or more channel adapters which carry one or more channel programs transmitted from the channels of the host. The channel programs may carry data, status information, and commands. The second interface allows input and output to storage facilities which comprise one or more target units. The programmable storage controller may be provided with a device coupled to the channel adapters for translating channel program commands, and determining, from the channel program, a target unit for which at least one channel program is transmitted.
