G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709250, 370413
Abstract:
A heterogeneous and scalable bridge capable of translating a plurality of network protocols is adapted for coupling to a network switch fabric. The bridge uses at least one egress buffer interface and can perform port aggregation and bandwidth matching for various different port standards. The bridge is adapted for both networking and storage area networking protocols. A control unit is implemented with the bridge is able to identify control and flow information from different protocols and adapt them to the respective interface to which they are to be transmitted. Accounting logic is provided to one or more of the elements of the apparatus to aid in the tracking, storing, and reporting of network traffic.

370225, 370216, 370227, 370356, 370392, 370401, 709225, 709238, 709250
Abstract:
A switch fabric system comprises a first chassis for receiving a plurality of line cards each having a plurality of ports and at least two switch fabric cards wherein each line card comprises a plurality of link ports for linking the line card with the switch fabric card. Each switch fabric card provides a switching bandwidth. The system comprises a management unit for managing the traffic on the switch fabric cards wherein the management unit removes the traffic from one switch fabric card if the one switch fabric card is to be removed while the other switch fabric card operates and transfers the traffic to the other switch fabric card.

Method For Zoning Data Storage Network Using Sas Addressing

View page
US Patent:
7437462, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
Jan 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/326623
Inventors:
Kevin Marks - Round Rock TX, US
Gary Kotzur - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709226, 709224
Abstract:
A method of zoning a fabric-attached (SAS) storage network. For each target attached to an expander, the expander maintains a list of SAS addresses of initiator devices that are permitted access to that's ports target devices. Configuration and management of zones may be accomplished using a management application, such as those using the SMP command protocol.

Rotatable Cooling Fans And Method For Use

View page
US Patent:
7542272, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:
Sep 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/240411
Inventors:
Jimmy D. Pike - Georgetown TX, US
Gary B. Kotzur - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
36167948, 36167946, 415 803
Abstract:
A rotatable fan system and method is disclosed in which an array of paired fans is included as part of an information handling system. The array of paired fans can be rotated so that the interior fan becomes the exterior fan. The array includes an electrical switch for reversing the rotational direction of the blades of the paired fans following the rotation of the fan array.

Using Sas Address Zoning To Add/Replace Hot Spares To Raid Set

View page
US Patent:
7644304, Jan 5, 2010
Filed:
Aug 28, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/467682
Inventors:
Gary B. Kotzur - Austin TX, US
Kevin Marks - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 7, 714 5, 714 6, 714 42, 714 44, 711114
Abstract:
Certain ones of a plurality of SAS hard disk drives are assigned to different SAS zones using a SAS zoning expander(s). A processor and SAS RAID controller have access to only those SAS hard disk drives assigned to the same zone(s) as the processor and SAS RAID controller. Each SAS RAID controller determines when a RAID hard disk drive in its zone fails, and then notifies the RAID hard disk drive failure to a service enclosure processor (SEP) of the SAS zoning expander. The SEP re-allocates an available hot-spare hard disk drive to the zone of the failed RAID hard disk drive. When the SAS RAID controller detects that a functional hard disk drive is now available in its zone, the RAID image is rebuilt using the zone reassigned hot-spare hard disk drive that then becomes one of the RAID hard disk drives of that zone.

Method For Host Bus Adapter-Based Storage Partitioning And Mapping Across Shared Physical Drives

View page
US Patent:
7653782, Jan 26, 2010
Filed:
May 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/439049
Inventors:
Stephen G. Luning - Austin TX, US
Rohit Chawla - Austin TX, US
Gary Kotzur - Austin TX, US
Ahmad H. Tawil - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711114, 711173
Abstract:
A system for a host-based RAID solution in a shared storage environment is provided in which the compute blades of a system are coupled to one or multiple concentrators. The concentrators serve as a switch or expander to couple each of the compute blades to a shared storage resource. Within the shared storage resource, a set of drives is configured in a RAID array. The shared disk drives are partitioned so that each partition is dedicated to one of the compute blades of the system. Multiple sets of drives may be used so that the collective set of drives can be configured as part of a RAID volume that includes mirroring between at least two of the drives of the RAID volume, such as RAID 1 or RAID 0+1, in which each set of drives is a mirror of the other set of drives and the content associated with each of the compute blades is striped across multiple drives in each of the two sets of drives.

12/164105
Inventors:
William Price Dawkins - Jonestown TX, US
Gary Benedict Kotzur - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX
International Classification:
G06F 1/00
G06F 1/26

US Classification:
713323, 713300, 713320, 714 621, 714 622
Abstract:
An information handling system (IHS) provides a method for conserving power. The method includes monitoring at least one performance characteristic of the IHS and determining if the at least one performance characteristic is below a low performance threshold. If the at least one performance characteristic is below the low performance threshold, a first controller is switched into a low power mode, wherein a first set of logical unit numbers (LUNs) are reassigned to a second controller.
