  • Patent number: 11365643
    Abstract: A sealing flange sector for a turbomachine rotor disc includes a radially outer part which is configured to bear at least partly against blades of the turbomachine rotor disc to ensure sealing between the blades and a radially inner part configured to bear on an annular strip mounted on a face of the turbomachine rotor disc, the radially inner part having a first groove disposed radially outwardly of a second groove. The first groove includes at least one foolproofing element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10521114
    Abstract: A method of implementations includes receiving, by a processing device executing a unified storage manager (USM), an update package comprising a configuration file for a storage service to add to the USM, adding, by the processing device, the configuration file to a set of configuration files maintained by the USM, responsive to detecting the addition of the configuration file, causing, by the processing device, a re-load of the set of configuration files at the USM without a shutdown and re-start of the USM, loading, by the processing device, the configuration file in the USM, and initializing, by the processing device, an adaptor component for the storage service at the USM, the adaptor component comprising a set of application programming interface (API) methods for the USM to communicate with the storage service.

  • Patent number: 9596135
    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring new nodes for using a storage system managed by a unified storage manager (USM) are disclosed. An example method may comprise detecting, by a processing device executing a unified storage manager (USM), a connection of a machine to the USM, invoking a provisioning component of the USM to initiate a provisioning process for the machine, utilizing, via the provisioning process, an external provisioning service to cause a bootstrapping process to execute on the machine, the bootstrapping process to install an operating system (OS) on the machine and to execute a kickstart file on the machine, responsive to execution of the kickstart file, performing a handshake process with the machine to establish a communication channel between the USM and the machine, and receiving, via the established communication channel, an availability status of the machine as a storage node for storage services managed by the USM.
