  • CONFIGURATION-BASED ALERT CORRELATION IN STORAGE NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20210357120
    Abstract: Correlating storage system event alerts by receiving notice of an event, determining a first storage network system (SNS) resource related to the event, determining instantiated dependencies between the first SNS resource and a second SNS resource, correlating the event with a second event according to the instantiated dependencies, and providing notice of the correlated events.

  • Nondisruptive updates in a networked computing environment
    Patent number: 11029992
    Abstract: As indicated above, aspects of the present invention provide an approach for facilitating nondisruptive virtual machine (VM) maintenance in a networked computing environment. In an embodiment, a request for an update to an active VM is received, and a copy of the active VM is taken to create a snapshot VM. An update is installed on the snapshot VM. While the snapshot VM is being updated, all changes made to the active VM are saved. Once the update is installed on the snapshot VM, the saved changes are applied to the snapshot VM. A switch is made over to the snapshot VM in real time so that the snapshot VM becomes the active VM. The process allows a user to work continuously with the software as a service (SaaS) VM without disruption.

  • Method to identify the vessel a container is loaded on
    Patent number: 8140262
    Abstract: A method and system for determining which vessel a container is loaded on. Independent location information received from the container and a vessel is compared to determine a distance between the vessel and the container. If the distance is within the length of the vessel, the container is loaded on the vessel.
