The management station receives the status from the managed device and stops waiting for reply. In the meantime, the managed device continues processing the configuration change request. In addition, the system and method preferably further comprises that after the management station receives the status from the managed device and stops waiting for a reply, the management station preferably starts and event completion status object which shows the completion status of the configuration change request being processed on the managed device.

Methods And Systems For Dynamic Selection Of Error Recovery Procedures In A Managed Device

View page
US Patent:
6487677, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Sep 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/410187
Inventors:
Ray M. Jantz - Wichita KS
Matthew A. Markus - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G06F 1100
US Classification:
714 2, 714 48
Abstract:
Methods and associated systems using probabilistic methods for selecting among a plurality of diagnostic procedures to recover from an error condition in a managed device. Operation of a managed device is overseen by a management device. A management client process operable within the management device communicates with a management service operable within the managed device. Upon detection of an error condition within the managed device, the management service propagates an event to the management client so indicating an error condition. The management client in the management device responds to the event by requesting the managed device to determine the best options for recovery procedures. The managed device then computes a probability of success for each known recovery procedure based upon the present state of the managed device and based upon past successes or failures of recovery procedures for particular error conditions. A list of each recovery procedure and its associated probability is returned to the management device.

US Patent:
6622302, Sep 16, 2003
Filed:
Jun 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/607691
Inventors:
William P. Delaney - Wichita KS
Ray Jantz - Wichita KS
Stan Krehbiel - Wichita KS
Assignee:
LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G06F 944
US Classification:
717170, 717168, 709321, 709325, 709327
Abstract:
Methods and associated structure for on the fly (dynamic) transition between versions among a management application process and an associated I/O subsystem. A management application program operable on a management system coupled to the I/O subsystem instantiates a script engine to execute script language commands for communicating with the I/O subsystem on behalf of the management application. The particular script engine instantiated is one that is compatible with the present revision of firmware operable in the I/O subsystem. When a script command execution causes a firmware upgrade in the I/O subsystem, the present script engine saves its state of operation, notifies the management application of the upgrade and resultant incompatibility and terminates. The management application then instantiates a new script engine compatible with the newly upgraded firmware version in the I/O subsystem. The newly instantiated script engine then restores the state information saved by its predecessor script engine and continues operation on behalf of the management application with no perceptible interruption in the processing of the script commands.

US Patent:
6675258, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Jun 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/608556
Inventors:
Walter Bramhall - Andover KS
Rodney A. Dekoning - Augusta GA
William P. Delaney - Wichita KS
Ray Jantz - Wichita KS
Assignee:
LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G06F 1300
US Classification:
711114, 711100, 711103
Abstract:
Methods and associated structure for updating and propagating firmware updates in a multiple redundant controller storage subsystem. The methods of the present invention assure that the storage subsystem remains operable processing host system I/O requests while the redundant controllers manage the firmware update process. At least one controller of a plurality of redundant controllers in the system remains available for processing of host I/O requests as the controllers manage the firmware update process. A management client process operable on an administrative system coupled to the first of the redundant storage controllers transfers a structured firmware file to the first redundant controller. The management client need perform no further management of the update process. Rather, the controller themselves manage the process in accordance with metadata stored within the firmware file along with the programmed instructions to be updated.

Method And Apparatus For Handling Transfers Of Data Volumes Between Controllers In A Storage Environment Having Multiple Paths To The Data Volumes

View page
US Patent:
6675268, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Dec 11, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/735086
Inventors:
Rodney A. DeKoning - Augusta KS
Charles D. Binford - Wichita KS
Michael J. Gallagher - Wichita KS
Ray M. Jantz - Wichita KS
Assignee:
LSI Logic Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G06F 13372
US Classification:
711151, 711150, 711148, 710240, 710244, 710 45, 710117, 710124
Abstract:
In a storage environment or storage area network having multiple host devices and at least one storage array, the host devices access logical data volumes stored on the storage array through array controllers disposed in the storage array. Multiple host devices can request access to shared ones of the logical data volumes through multiple paths to multiple array controllers, but each logical data volume is controlled or owned by only one array controller at a time. Thus, ownership of shared logical data volumes is transferred between the array controllers as necessary on behalf of the requesting host devices. To prevent ownership transfers from occurring too often, however, ownership of the logical data volumes is made exclusive, or âsticky,â for a period of time after each transfer. During the exclusive ownership period of time, the ownership cannot be transferred. After expiration of the exclusive ownership period of time, ownership of the affected logical data volume is transferred if the transfer does not cause another host device to lose access to the same logical data volume, unless priorities between competing host devices permit one host device to take access away from the other host device.
