Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading wireless network devices, such as access points (APs). When a first AP needs an upgrade, a network controller of the first AP may identify and select a neighbor AP. The radio(s) of the neighbor AP can be split into multiple logical radios, at least one of which includes a backup virtual AP (VAP). The backup VAP can support client devices originally supported by the first AP, allowing those client devices to roam to the neighbor AP while the first AP is upgrading, and without needing to re-associate with the neighbor AP. From the client device perspective, it appears as though they are still being supported by the first AP. Upon upgrading the first AP, the client devices can roam back to the first AP (without needing to re-associate with the first AP). No downtime is experienced, and no RF holes are generated.

Abstract: The embodiments herein creates DCT mechanisms that initiate a DCT at the time the updated data is being evicted from the producer cache. These DCT mechanisms are applied when the producer is replacing the updated contents in its cache because the producer has either moved on to working on a different data set (e.g., a different task) or moved on to working on a different function, or when the producer-consumer task manager (e.g., a management unit) enforces software coherency by sending Cache Maintenance Operations (CMO). One advantage of the DCT mechanism is that because the direct cache transfer takes place at the time the updated data is being evicted, by the time the consumer begins its task, the updated contents have already been placed in its own cache or another cache within the cache hierarchy.

The ECS procedure can include an out-of-order (OOO) procedure where ECS is performed more often for certain identified code words.

In response to the cloning, a prior set of changes from the base repository in the temporary directory, where the prior set of changes form an old application version of the application, is imported. In response to the import of the prior set of changes, the current version is overwritten with the prior set of changes to generate a new version. The new version is pushed directly to the base repository and a deployment API causes the new version to replace the current version.

Abstract: A storage appliance can be designed to facilitate efficient restore of multiple backed up files in a system that allows files to share data blocks. A data management application or storage OS names data blocks and communicates those names to the storage appliance when backing up to or through the storage appliance. The storage appliance can leverage the data block names when restoring a group of files by restoring at data block granularity instead of file granularity. Restoring at the granularity of the data blocks by their names allows the storage appliance to avoid repeatedly sending a same data block to the restore requestor (e.g., a storage OS or data management application) while still instructing the restore requestor how to reconstruct the corresponding file(s) with mappings between valid data ranges and the named data blocks.

This androgyny can enable the zone storage system to store a complete chunk at a zone based on real time use. In an aspect, an androgynous zone storage component can take on, or transition between, a de facto front-end storage device character or de facto back-end storage device character in response to deployment of the androgynous zone storage component in the storage system.

Abstract: Improved techniques for applying performance controls in a data storage system based on overload correlations between units of managed storage objects (UMOs). When a performance indicator (e.g. response time) for a target UMO is outside an acceptable range, a competing UMO that potentially shares at least one potentially shared hardware component with the target UMO is identified. An overload correlation between the target UMO and the competing UMO is generated that indicates an amount of correlation between the performance indicator for the target UMO and a performance indicator for the competing UMO. A performance control is then applied to the throughput of the competing UMO that reduces the throughput of the competing UMO. The amount that the throughput of the competing UMO is reduced is based on the amount of overload correlation between the target UMO and the competing UMO.

Upon receiving a request to perform an input/output (I/O) fencing operation, the first key value is modified and the second key value is removed from the shared storage device.
