Abstract: A multiple storage control network management system includes a plurality of controllers, each coupled to a respective system control network to provide a respective controller environment. A controller manager is coupled to each of the plurality of controllers. The controller manager is operable to monitor the respective controller environment provided by each of the plurality of controllers. The controller manager is also operable to move personas between respective controller environments. The controller manager is also operable to start and stop personas across a plurality of the respective controller environments. The controller manager is also operable to receive a first change object from a first controller of the plurality of controllers, compare the first change object to a previously received change object from the first controller, determine the changes between object elements in the first change object and the previously received change object, and store the determined changes.

Abstract: A system for performing an ad hoc query comprising a query service operating on a processor and configured to receive an ad hoc query in a domain-specific language. A query parsing service operating on the processor and configured to receive a validate request and a parse request from the query service and to return a query object to the query service. A queryable interface operating on the processor and configured to receive the query object and to transmit the query object to one or more framework services for execution. New domain key words can be introduced dynamically and matched to registered queryable services to process queries containing those key words.

Abstract: A system for deploying an application comprising a resource bundle configured to provide resource data for the application. A workflow bundle configured to provide workflow data for the application. A workload model bundle configured to provide workload model data for the application. A resource model bundle configured to provide resource model data for the application and a bundle listener configured to listen for the resource data, the workflow data, the workload model data and the resource model data for the application and to instantiate a model service.

Abstract: A method for defining new resource types in an operating software system, comprising electronically modifying a secured entity table to add a new resource. Electronically modifying a secured entity action table to add the new resource. Electronically modifying a resource type table to add the new resource. Electronically modifying a resource relation table to add the new resource relationships. Electronically flushing one or more runtime caches to deploy the new resource without recompiling the software system. Electronically detect and handle compatible and incompatible schema upgrades.
