  • Patent number: 7131032
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture for fault determination. A duration of time is determined for receiving an event. A plurality of events are received in a time period that is at least twice the determined duration. A plurality of factors are determined corresponding to the plurality of events. At least one factor is determined from the plurality of factors, wherein the at least one factor is a cause of at least one of the plurality of events.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020129230
    Abstract: Provided is a computer implemented method, system, and program for determining system information, wherein the system is comprised of at least one host adaptor, switch, and storage device. A path in the system from one host adaptor to the I/O device includes as path components one host adaptor, one switch, one storage device, a first link between the host adaptor and the switch and a second link between the switch and the storage device. A determination is made of component information on host adaptor, switch, and I/O device components in a network system. The determined component information is added to a configuration file providing configuration information on the system. For each determined host adaptor, a determination is made from the component information of information on the first link between the host adaptor and the switch and on the I/O device to which the host adaptor communicates.
