Patent number: 9569629Abstract: System, computer program product, and method embodiments for communication between a kernel operational on a storage subsystem and a key manager (KM) through a hardware management console (HMC) to provide encryption support are provided. In one embodiment, an event request is initiated by the kernel to the KM to execute an event flow. Pursuant to a communication request by the kernel to the HMC, a socket of the HMC is opened along a communication path between the KM and the kernel according to an event flow type selected by the KM for the event flow. Data including a data payload is sent by the KM to the kernel, the data payload corresponding to the selected event flow type.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kurt A.

Publication number: 20080313646Abstract: A system and method may include a first storage device supporting a first set of functions and a second storage device supporting a second set of functions different from the first set of functions. The first and second storage devices may be configured to provide a common interface to enable discovery of the first and second sets by invoking a procedure call common to the first and second storage devices. An application, which may initially be unaware of the first and second sets, may be configured to invoke the procedure call and thereby discover the first and second sets, which may be provided as XML documents. The application may be further configured to communicate with the first storage device using the first set of functions, and communicate with the second storage device using the second set of functions using the information discovered by invoking the procedure call.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: December 18, 2008Inventors: Jesus R. Acevedo, Benjamin J. Donie, Michael L. Hernandez, Andreas B. Koster, Hin C. Lam, Richard K. Martinez
