Patent number: 8260927Abstract: A host reserves a device controlled by a controller that is coupled to the host. The controller starts a first timer, in response to a completion of input/output (I/O) operations on the device by the host, wherein the host continues to reserve the device after the completion of the I/O operations. The controller sends a notification to the host after an expiry of the first timer, wherein the notification requests the host to determine whether the device should continue to be reserved by the host. The controller starts a second timer, in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the host that the notification has been received by the host, wherein reservation status of the device reserved by the host is determined by the controller on or prior to an expiry of the second timer.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2009Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Juan Alonso Coronado, Russell Bernard Krueger, Christina Ann Lara, Beth Ann Peterson, Xavier Edgar Somoza, Aaron Eugene Taylor

Patent number: 7987269Abstract: A domain manager establishes an administrative domain for a network that has an associated set of assets and an associated set of users. The domain manager identifies at least one asset of the set of assets to be included in the administrative domain. An asset can be a hardware resource (e.g., computer, router, etc.) and/or a software resource (e.g., word processing application). In addition, the domain manager identifies at least one user of the set of users to be included in the administrative domain. The domain manager also establishes a set of roles within the administrative domain. For example, each role can define permissions (e.g., levels of accessibility) between a user and an asset (or group of assets) in the administrative domain.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Martin Paul Mayhead, Michael J. Wookey, Brandon Eugene Taylor

Apparatus and method to preserve one or more logical communication paths in a data processing system
Patent number: 7934026Abstract: A method to preserve a logical communication path in a data processing system, that includes a host computer, a storage controller that comprises a first logical control unit (“LCU”), and a logical communication path that is in communication with the host computer and the first LCU, comprising deleting the first LCU and setting a first status for same. The method then configures a second LCU, and establishes a second status for same, wherein the second LCU includes all or a portion of the first LCU, but is not the same as the first LCU. The deleting, setting, configuring, and establishing are performed while maintaining the logical communication path, which is in communication with the second LCU.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2008Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Juan Alonso Coronado, Roger Gregory Hathorn, Dinh Hai Le, Daniel Perkin, Aaron Eugene Taylor -
