  • Patent number: 8046450
    Abstract: Network ports of a computer system are associated with network ports of a network device. Network ports of the computer system are configured to operate as part of a switch. A discovery agent discovers network ports of the network device to which the network ports of the computer system are coupled. Associations are created between the network ports of the computer system and the network ports of the network device.

  • Patent number: 7325078
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at a processor, an input/output request that designates at least one data block on a storage medium against which the input/output operation is to be executed; and altering a response to the input/output request when a scrub state data table indicates that the at least one data block designated in the input/output request is subject to an open scrub command.

  • Patent number: 7325156
    Abstract: In one embodiment, and under control of resources belonging to a controller domain of a data center, a farm server for which a backup operation is to be performed is identified. Interfaces of backup services belonging to the controller domain are then virtually associated with the first farm network. Thereafter, the farm server and backup services are registered in a backup domain of the data center, the backup domain being associated with backup storage. Via the backup services that have been associated with the first farm network, and during execution of the backup operation by the farm server, movement of backup data from the first farm network to the backup storage is facilitated by the method. After completing the backup operation, the farm server and backup services are un-registered from the backup domain, and the interfaces of the backup services are de-associated from the first farm network.

  • Patent number: 7003578
    Abstract: A method and system are described for controlling a policy-based network. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a first policy is established within a policy server of the network, wherein the first policy includes at least a first function and a second function. The first policy is converted into at least a second policy and a third policy, wherein the second policy is associated with the first function and the third policy is associated with the second function. The second policy and the third policy are distributed within the network to at least one node. The at least one node is controlled using the second policy and the third policy.

  • Patent number: 6345277
    Abstract: The invention described herein is an apparatus for accessing an information repository, including computer readable program code stored on computer readable media, where the computer readable program code includes code for organizing information stored in the information repository into a hierarchy. The hierarchy is a hierarchy of a number of derived containers that are generated in conformance with an information model which is a hierarchy of type-defined container definition nodes. Each of the derived containers corresponds to one of the type-defined container definition nodes, represents a category of information in the information repository, and has contents which can be other derived containers and/or information extracted from the information repository.
