Abstract: A Distribution Point Unit (DPU) communicating voice configuration data between Element Management System, Fibre to the Home network (FTTH EMS) and one or more ATA modules within a Fibre to the Distribution Point (FTTdp) network, wherein a processor interfaced with an optical network controller, an electrical network controller, and the memory; the processor presents to the FTTH EMS, the DPU as an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) of a FTTH network; the processor maintains in a memory one or more virtual voice ports; each virtual voice port is mappable to one of electrical ports, and the processor informs the FTTH EMS, via the FTTH control protocol, a distinct voice port for each virtual voice ports; maintain a mapping between the virtual voice ports and the electrical ports; receive a voice configuration message and a corresponding voice port identifier according to the FTTH control protocol and identify corresponding virtual voice port; determine a particular electrical port associated with identified virtual v

Abstract: A computer system for fast format or reproducing data of a computer data storage device includes a computer system executing a reproducing process for reproducing data. A source disk (Ds) data storage device and a target disk (Dt) data storage device have data communication between each other and communicate with the computer system. The Ds data is reproducible to the Dt, and the Ds has blank regions with no data which corresponds to zero. The Ds having data regions and an intermediary flash copy map (D0) is generated by the program having all logical zeros for copying blank regions in the Ds to the Dt. The Ds is disengaged from reproducing after all data regions are copied from the Ds to the Dt. The reproducing of the Ds to the Dt continues after disengaging the Ds from the reproducing process by copying the zeros of the D0 to the Dt.

Abstract: Provided are a method, apparatus, and computer program product for testing a virtualized storage system. Data defining one or more configuration features of the virtualized storage system is received. Also received is a set of one or more predetermined rules defining interpretation of the disk exercising commands, the interpretation being dependent on one or more of the configuration features. A first disk exercising command is received. The first disk exercising command is interpreted in accordance with one of the predetermined rules to produce a second disk exercising command. The second disk exercising command is sent to the virtualized storage system.
