Publication number: 20160239215Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and/or method for gracelessly rebooting a storage appliance. The method and system includes a storage appliance in association with an event that will result in the loss of a state table from volatile memory that halts changes to at least one state table of the storage appliance. The state tables describe a plurality of file system states of one or more clients connected to the first storage appliance. The state information is written to a persistent memory of the storage appliance. The state table may then be repopulated using the state table information stored in persistent memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Anderson Smith, Piyush Shivam, William Eugene Baker

Publication number: 20160198777Abstract: A heating apparatus contains a heating element, a clothing garment, a power source, and an intensity level controller. The heating element is positioned within the clothing garment. The clothing garment is worn by a user around the neck or any other appropriate position. The heating element emits heat through a body of the clothing garment. The user feels the emitted heat since the clothing garment is in contact with the user. The heating element is powered through the power source which is electrically connected to the heating element through the intensity level controller. The intensity level controller enables the user to control the heat emitted from the heating element such that the heating apparatus can be efficiently used in different conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventor: Michael Eugene Baker

Patent number: 9282021Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve a system and method for simulating a storage cluster testing system. The method and system includes a processor configured to instructions stored on a memory to produce a simulation interface. The simulation interface includes an abstraction layer that receives verbs from a test driver and passes the verbs to one of two or more plugins. The plugins may include a synthetic plugin configured to translate the verbs into one or more command and send commands to a simulated storage appliance that is a computing device with relatively lower performance than an actual storage appliance. The simulated storage appliance may act in place of two storage appliances clustered to form a storage cluster. The simulated storage appliance forms a simulated storage cluster. The simulated storage cluster simulates the performance of the verb on by the storage cluster.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Anderson Smith, Piyush Shivam, William Eugene Baker

Patent number: 9053338Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for exception handling. A method may include detecting attempted performance of a prohibited action involving protected data. The method may further include determining based at least in part on a role associated with a user associated with the prohibited action whether the user has elevated rights permitting performance of the prohibited action. The method may additionally include permitting an exception allowing performance of the prohibited action only in an instance in which it is determined that the user does have elevated rights permitting performance of the prohibited action. The method may also include prohibiting performance of the prohibited action in an instance in which it is determined that the user does not have elevated rights permitting performance of the prohibited action. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: McKesson Financial HoldingsInventor: Eugene Baker

Patent number: 8484161Abstract: In general, the invention relates to a method for migrating a source file system residing on a source server to a destination server. The method includes sending a first snapshot of the source file system from the source server to the destination server and creating, using the first snapshot, a migrated file system on the destination server. The method further includes sequentially sending, to the destination server, a set of snapshot deltas including modifications to the source file system, updating the migrated file system using the set of snapshot deltas, determining that a freeze threshold is exceeded, freezing the source file system, sending a final snapshot delta from the source server to the destination server, updating the migrated file system using the final snapshot delta, creating a file system husk referencing the migrated file system, and thawing the source file system and the migrated file system.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: William Eugene Baker, Richard S.
