Patent number: 7155501Abstract: Management of data services in a distributed computer system is provided by a three-tiered system. The lowest, or agent, tier comprises Common Information Model (CIM) provider objects that can make method calls on the low-level kernel routines in the host providing the data service. The middle, or logic, tier is a set of management facades and federated Java beans. The federated Java beans include a general configuration bean for data services and configuration and health monitor service beans for each individual data service. The upper, or presentation, tier of the inventive system comprises web-based presentation programs that provide a first view go of the services provided by the federated beans for policy-based management and a second view of the data management facades for element-based management.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Chhandomay Mandal, Jillian I. DaCosta, Lanshan Cao, Roberta A. Pokigo

Patent number: 7043732Abstract: In accordance with the principles of the present invention, management of a data replication system is provided by a three-tiered arrangement. The lowest, or agent, tier comprises Common Information Model (CIM) provider objects that reside in the hosts providing the data replication service and that can make method calls on the low-level kernel routines. The middle, or logic, tier is a set of federated Java beans that communicate with each other, with the management facades and with the upper tier of the system. The upper, or presentation, tier of the inventive system comprises web-based presentation programs that can be directly manipulated by management personnel to view and control the data replication system.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Chhandomay Mandal, Jillian I. DaCosta, Lanshan Cao, Roberta A. Pokigo

Patent number: 7043738Abstract: A data imaging system is managed by a three-tiered system. The lowest, or agent, tier comprises Common Information Model (CIM) provider objects that reside in the host providing the data imaging service and can make method calls on low-level kernel routines that implement the service. The middle, or logic, tier is a set of federated Java beans that communicate with each other, with the CIM providers and with the upper tier of the system and provide the business logic for the system. The upper, or presentation, tier of the inventive system comprises web-based presentation programs that can be directly manipulated by management personnel to view and control the system from virtually anywhere in the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Chhandomay Mandal, Jillian I. DaCosta, Lanshan Cao, Jonathan C. France, Yuantai Du, Roberta A. Pokigo

Patent number: 6996587Abstract: Data volumes on local hosts are discovered and managed by federated Java beans that run on each host. The Java beans form part of a three-tiered data services management. The lowest tier comprises management facade software running on each machine that converts platform-dependent interface written with the low-level kernel routines to platform-independent method calls. The middle tier is a set of federated Java beans that communicate with the management facades and with the upper tier of the system. The upper tier of the inventive system comprises presentation programs that can be directly manipulated by management personnel to view and control the system. The federated beans can configure and control data volumes with either a SCSI terminal emulation interface or a storage volume interface and use a logical disk aggregator to present all volumes available on a local host as a single “logical volume” in which all information regarding the various volumes is presented in a uniform manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. Wagener, Mark J. Musante, Chhandomay Mandal, Melora L. Goosey, Roberta A. Pokigo, George J. Quill, Peter L. Gratzer, Jillian I. DaCosta, Jonathan C. France

Patent number: 6983465Abstract: A three-tiered data caching system is used on a distributed computer system comprising hosts connected by a network. The lowest tier comprises management facade software running on each machine that converts a platform-dependent interface written with low-level kernel routines that actually implement the data caching system to platform-independent method calls. The middle tier is a set of federated Java beans that communicate with each other, with the management facades and with the upper tier of the system. The upper tier of the inventive system comprises presentation programs that can be directly manipulated by management personnel to view and control the system. In one embodiment, the federated Java beans can run on any machine in the system and communicate, via the network. A data caching management facade runs on selected hosts and at least one data caching bean also runs on those hosts.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2001Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Chhandomay Mandal, Mark J. Musante, Peter J. Wagener, Jillian I. Dacosta, Roberta A. Pokigo, Melora L. Goosey

Patent number: 6772178Abstract: A three-tiered data replication management system is used on a distributed computer system connected by a network. The lowest tier comprises management facade software running on each machine that converts a platform-dependent interface written in low-level kernel routines that actually perform the data replication to platform-independent method calls. The middle tier is a set of federated Java beans, which communicate with each other, with the management facades, and with the upper tier of the system. The upper tier of the inventive system comprises presentation programs that can be directly manipulated by management personnel to view and control the system. The federated Java beans can run on any machine in the system and communicate via the network. A data replication bean runs on each host and at least one such bean communicates directly with a management interface that is controlled by a user.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2001Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Chhandomay Mandal, Peter J. Wagener, Mark J. Musante, Jillian I. DaCosta, Lanshan Zhang, Roberta A. Pokigo
