Abstract: An inlet cover mechanism for an air launched vehicle includes a quick release pin, a chassis, a collar, and a piston pin. The inlet cover mechanism facilitates attachment and deployment of an inlet cover with the air launched vehicle. The quick release pin is connected to the inlet cover. The chassis is connected to the air launched vehicle. The collar is connected to the chassis and is releasably engageable with the quick release pin. The piston pin is slidably engaged within the chassis and is configured to contact the quick release pin.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a vertical shelving unit with rails following a curvilinear path protruding into the shelving space and slidingly supporting a lip of a bin. The vertical shelving unit may, for example, include multiple vertical posts (VPs) defining a three-dimensional space. The VPs may, for example, include a set of horizontal support members (HSMs) coupled to the VPs on opposing sides of the space. The HSMs may, for example, be used to couple to the VPs on opposing sides of the space. For example, when a bin is inserted between the opposing sides, a protruding lip of the bin may be supported by the upper most surface of the HSMs. Each of the HSMs may, for example, include an upper HSM connected by a truss structure to a lower HSM. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a modular shelving unit that individually suspends storage bins.

Abstract: An adjustable free-standing shelving unit with horizontal shelf support beams suitable for holding one or more wire deck panels, which are detachably mounted to vertical corner posts by way of a unique combination of shoulder bolts, attached to the horizontal support beams, and keyhole slots in the vertical corner posts. In some embodiments, shoulder bolts having a head with a wrench receiving surface, an unthreaded shoulder, and a threaded shank are attached to the horizontal support beams using hex nuts. The keyhole slots, which are formed in each of the angled flat sides of the L-shaped vertical corner posts, are sized so that the heads of the shoulder bolts maybe inserted into the wide upper openings of the keyhole and then pushed downwardly so that the unthreaded shoulders of the bolts will slide into the low slots.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for clustering data storage including (a) announcing, using zeroconf, to a local network, a service provided by a DSA and an unreserved state of the DSA, the service being of a clusterable data storage type, (b) receiving a cluster command from a configuration management device connected to the local network, the cluster command directing the DSA to join a storage cluster to present combined storage of the DSA and at least one other DSA, and (c) in response to receiving the cluster command: (1) announcing to the local network via L2 multicasting that the DSA has entered a reserved state using zeroconf, (2) afterwards, performing configuration operations including updating system parameters, resulting in the DSA becoming part of the storage cluster, and (3) while in the reserved state, receiving another cluster command directing the DSA to join another storage cluster, and, in response, refusing the other cluster command.

Abstract: A primary copy and one or more shadow copies of a logical volume are created and discovered by a host rescan performed when the logical volume is initially created. Data storage resources are allocated to the primary copy, but not to the shadow copy. The initial path state of the logical volume describes the path to the primary copy as active, and the path to the shadow copy as unavailable for accessing the logical volume. Movement of the logical volume to the storage appliance providing the shadow copy can be performed without an additional host rescan, by making the shadow copy the new primary copy, making the primary copy a new shadow copy, and updating the path state of the logical volume to indicate i) that the path to the new primary copy is active, and ii) that the path to the new shadow copy is unavailable.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring the availability of multiple redundant data sources within a high-availability data environment. The inaccessibility of at least one of the multiple redundant data sources is detected, thus defining at least one inaccessible data source. Which software applications are impacted by the at least one inaccessible data source is determined, thus defining at least one impacted software application. A notification is provided to one or more parties associated with the at least one impacted software application concerning the inaccessibility of the at least one inaccessible data source.
