  • Patent number: 9021305
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing main cause errors and sympathetic errors in devices in a system. Error data for the devices in the system are analyzed to determine a main cause error for one of the devices that cause at least one sympathetic error in the system. A main cause event object for the determined main cause error and at least one sympathetic event object for the determined at least one sympathetic error resulting from the main cause error are generated. A determination is made from the at least one sympathetic event object of at least one sympathetic event action to perform. The determined at least one sympathetic event action is performed to recover from the at least one sympathetic error represented by the at least one sympathetic event object providing the at least one sympathetic event action.

  • Patent number: 8886995
    Abstract: Software configuration changes are made in a digital computer by executing selected opcodes to add new features. When executing each opcode, a persistent record is kept of execution of each elementary command of the opcode. To recover from a failure of execution of an opcode, remediation opcodes are executed for a known error, or else the persistent record of execution is accessed to identify executed commands of the opcode, and the executed commands are reverted in reverse order by undoing changes made to the software configuration by the executed commands of the opcode. The resulting configuration of the digital computer is compared to a backup copy of the configuration existing at the start of execution of the opcode. If the reversion of the executed commands of the opcode has not reproduced the backup configuration, then the configuration of the digital computer is restored to the backup configuration.

  • Publication number: 20130196562
    Abstract: A copolyimide nano-fiber non-woven fabric, a process for producing the same and the use thereof. The process comprises the following steps: tetracid dianhydride monomer and diamine monomer are polycondensated in the reaction medium of a high polar solvent under mechanical agitation to form a solution of a copolyamic acid; the copolyamic acid solution is electrostatically spinned under a high voltage electric field to give a non-woven fabric of a nano-fiber of the copolyamic acid; and then the non-woven fabric is imidized. The copolyimide nano-fiber non-woven fabric has features of a strong tear resistance, a high porosity, high/low-temperature resistances and excellent mechanical properties, etc., and can be used in battery membrane and capacitor membrane.

  • Patent number: 8484635
    Abstract: A unified scribed image for installing software on different storage system platforms and configurations is described. The scribed image is produced by installing on a reference storage system reference system software including reference system core components usable by all storage systems, and reference system unique components used only by the reference storage system. Reference system software representing shared components used by pairs of storage systems is added. The reference system software related to the reference system unique components is then removed. The remaining core components and shared components to are scribed to media to produce the unified scribed image. Methods of using the unified scribed image to install storage system software in various storage systems are also described.
