Patent number: 9946685Abstract: Described are techniques for performing data storage system management of a data storage system. Using an active element manager component, a data storage system management operation in connection with a data storage device of the data storage system is performed, and context information is collected and provided to a target location in an external environment having connectivity to the data storage. The active element manager component provides for automatically connecting a current session associated with the data storage system management operation to the target location and receives one or more communications from the external environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Douglas A. Wood, Mark A. Parenti, George J. Grosner, Jr., Stephen J. Todd

Patent number: 8539282Abstract: A method is used in managing quality testing. Quality tests are mapped to characteristics of a product under test. Based on the mapping and a result of a previously executed quality test, a respective relevance level is determined for each of the quality tests. Based on the relevance levels, a priority is determined among the quality tests.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Alexey Kabanov, Artem Zarafyants, Andreas L. Bauer, Ivan Gumenyuk, George J. Grosner

Patent number: 8326794Abstract: Described are techniques for providing support in connection with a data storage system. An active element manager component is used to perform, a data storage system management operation. The active element manager component collects context information. The context information is transmitted from the data storage system to an external environment. User relevant information is received at the active element manager component from the external environment. The external environment determines the user relevant information in accordance with the context information and support information and services provided by the external environment. The user relevant information includes information about one or more types of support. The user relevant information is displayed via a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2007Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Douglas A. Wood, Mark A. Parenti, George J. Grosner, Jr., Stephen J. Todd

Patent number: 8161083Abstract: Described are techniques for performing data storage system management of a data storage system. An active element manager component is provided that performs data storage system management operations. Using the active element management component, context information is collected. User relevant information is received by the active element manager component. The user relevant information includes information about a virtual user community relevant to a first user identifier. For an active element management session having the first user identifier, the user relevant information is displayed via a user interface. The user interface provides for display a first portion of the user relevant information about the virtual user community and a first connection to the external environment. Upon selection of the first portion, the active element manager component connects to a target location associated with the virtual user community and provides the context information to the external environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Douglas A. Wood, Mark A. Parenti, George J. Grosner, Jr., Stephen J. Todd

Patent number: 8156281Abstract: A method and system for allocating storage in a data storage system using one or more storage profiles. A set of storage profiles are provided that each has a set of parameters with values defined for the data storage system and for particular client applications. The method includes receiving a selection of one of the storage profiles, such as from an administrative user interface generated by a storage manager running in conjunction with the data storage system. The selected storage profile is then applied to the data storage system to allocate a portion of the data storage system to a storage pool which is defined by the values of the set of parameters in the selected storage profile. The method includes creating a user-defined storage profile by copying parameters from one of the provided storage profiles and allowing a user to modify or accept the parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: George J. Grosner, Sonja C. Hickey, Gaurav Chawla, Richard C. Barlow, Mark A. Parenti

Patent number: 8150877Abstract: Described are techniques for performing data storage system management of a data storage system. An active element manager component is provided that performs data storage system management operations. User relevant information is received at said active element manager component from an external environment. The user relevant information includes information about an entity for purchase or license using said external environment which is relevant to a first user identifier. For an active element management session having said first user identifier, the user relevant information is displayed via a user interface. The user interface provides for display a first portion of said user relevant information. Upon selection of the first portion, the active element manager component connects to a target location in said external environment that is associated with the entity and provides context information to said external environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Douglas A. Wood, Mark A. Parenti, George J. Grosner, Jr., Stephen J. Todd
