Abstract: Systems for supporting a container are presented. A support system in one embodiment, includes a metal clip, an insulating sleeve surrounding a beverage container, and at least one magnet that is attached to the sleeve and drawn by an attractive force to the clip, such that the sleeve together with the container is selectively detachable from the clip. Another embodiment includes a metal insert positioned in a belt or garment, instead of the metal clip. Yet another embodiment includes a pair of dipole magnets, with one positioned on the sleeve and its mate positioned on a clip or embedded in a belt or garment.

Abstract: For a storage area network, verification of path selection protocol comprises disabling a switch port on a switch of the primary path of a data storage device; initiating an input/output command to the device; verifying that a failover occurred. The switch port for the primary path is enabled, an “immediate” input/output command is initiated to the device with the “immediate” bit set; and, in response to a notification by the device resulting from the “immediate” bit, a switch port is disabled on the switch of the primary path for the device; and the method verifies that a failover occurred.
