Abstract: A method for resynchronizing data repositories in a high availability storage environment includes maintaining, in a first gateway server, a first journal that records operations that are performed for a first set of objects. The method further maintains, in a second gateway server, a second journal that records operations that are performed for a second set of objects. The method communicates, from the first gateway server to the second gateway server, any operations that are performed by the first gateway server for objects in the second set, so that these operations may be recorded in the second journal. The method further communicates, from the second gateway server to the first gateway server, any operations that are performed by the second gateway server for objects in the first set, so that these operations may be recorded in the first journal. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: The application discloses a hollowed-out printed object and a 3D printing support, a 3D printing support construction method and a 3D printing method of the hollowed-out printed object. At least one end of the 3D printing support of the hollowed-out printed object is connected to the hollowed-out printed object; the support includes a main body and a connecting portion connected to the hollowed-out printed object; a joint between at least part of the connecting portion and the hollowed-out printed object is located inside the hollowed-out printed object.

Abstract: A method for reducing I/O performance impacts associated with a data commit operation is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes periodically performing a data commit operation wherein modified data is destaged from cache to persistent storage drives. Upon performing a particular instance of the data commit operation, the method determines whether modified data in the cache is a metadata track. In the event the modified data is a metadata track, the method attempts to acquire an exclusive lock on the metadata track. In the event the exclusive lock cannot be acquired, the method skips over the metadata track without destaging the metadata track for the particular instance of the data commit operation. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for updating code in a set of machines is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving a time range within which a code update is to be performed on a set of machines, block out times indicating when the code update cannot be performed, and an order in which the code update is to be performed on the set of machines. For some time period before the code update is performed, the method gathers I/O statistics associated with the set of machines. The method then performs the code update on the set of machines during a period of reduced I/O as determined from the I/O statistics, while complying with the received time range, block out times, and order. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
