Abstract: Dynamically determining respective threshold temperatures for data storage devices (DSDs) in a data storage system (DSS) slot involves determining a marginal temperature of a DSD (TMd) based on the difference between a current threshold temperature of a corresponding DSS slot (TTe) and a current temperature value of the DSD (TCd), and raising the current TTe to an updated TTe accordingly, thereby effectively permitting the DSD to operate at temperatures up to the updated TTe. Updating TTe may come after first determining whether the TMd is greater than a lower limit and/or less than an upper limit, both of which are based on an inherent threshold temperature value of the DSD (TTd). This approach can be applied to other DSDs housed in the same DSS enclosure, enabling varying each respective DSD operating temperature, in contrast to using a fixed operating temperature range for the entire enclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for proactively, instead of reactively, biasing parameters of a data storage device based on a spatial position in a storage enclosure. The method includes obtaining a spatial position for the data storage device in a storage enclosure. The method also includes proactively biasing one or more parameters for controlling the device memory, based on the spatial position. The spatial position has a corresponding thermal profile that is predetermined.

Abstract: Resumption of a remote connection is described with a previous secure tunnel IP address. In embodiments, a first secure tunnel is facilitated with a client. The first secure tunnel has a tunnel IP address. The tunnel IP address is sent to the client. Packets are communicated from the client received through the first secure tunnel to a remote server using the tunnel IP address in the first secure tunnel. The first secure tunnel is closed and a second secure tunnel is facilitated with the client. A request is received from the client to resume the remote connection, that includes the tunnel IP address. The remote connection is resumed by communicating packets from the client received through the second secure tunnel to the remote server using the tunnel IP address in the second secure tunnel.

Abstract: A network device may identify a plurality of security policies associated with the network device. The network device may generate respective sets of local key pairs for the plurality of security policies, wherein the respective sets of local key pairs are to facilitate negotiating security associations involving the network device. The network device may store the respective sets of local key pairs in a key data structure of the network device to permit the network device to provide, to a source device, a local public key for a security association with the source device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a reverse mirroring RAID Level I system and method that decreases read access times. By recording mirrored data in a mirrored disk in a reverse order, spindle access time for data to be read from either the primary disk or the mirrored disk is reduced. As such, overall performance of the reverse mirroring technique is increased.

Abstract: Storage data is distributed across a first plurality of physical disks in a first enclosure using at least one redundant array of independent disks (RAID) technique. This creates a plurality of virtual volumes. This plurality includes at least a first virtual volume and a second virtual volume. The storage data is copied (i.e., backed up) to a second plurality of physical disks in a second enclosure. The storage data in the second enclosure is distributed across the second plurality of physical disks according to a declustered RAID technique. The declustered RAID allocations each correspond to the virtual volumes created in the first enclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for saving the copybacked data in a drive and continuing to rebuild on the same drive where the copy back was in progress when the online drive, where the copy back is not initiated, fails.
