20100180002 | SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMIC MONITORING FOR WEB HIGH AVAILABILITY - A system for maintaining a high availability data transmission and processing environment. The system includes a network of clusters and a control server. Each cluster of the network includes at least two identical servers. Each cluster of the network is directly connected to at least one other cluster of the network. Each pair of clusters directly connected to each other is characterized by each server in a first cluster of the pair of clusters being directly connected to at least one server in a second cluster of the pair of clusters via a communication link. The control server is configured to monitor an operational status of the communication link (i.e., the communication link is operational or non-operational). The control server is directly linked to at least one server in each cluster via a communication channel between the control server and the at least one server. | 07-15-2010 |
20110083163 | Temporarily providing higher privileges for computing system to user identifier - A root user identifier of a computing system is disabled. Thereafter, and in response to determining that a problem with the computing system requires root privileges to the computing system to solve, a code patch for installation on the computing system is received from a third party. The code patch is installed on the computing system, resulting in a user identifier temporarily having the root privileges to the computing system. The user identifier is different than the root user identifier is. A password for the user identifier is provided to the third party to permit the third party to solve the problem with the computing system using the root privileges, via the user identifier temporarily having the root privileges to the computing system. The code patch is computer code installable on the computing system. | 04-07-2011 |
20130054912 | METHODS AND PHYSICAL COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR TRANSFERRING DE-DUPLICATED DATA ORGANIZED IN VIRTUAL VOLUMES TO A TARGET SET OF PHYSICAL MEDIA - A method include forming an initial bitmap from the de-duplicated data on virtual volumes, sorting discrete blocks according to frequency of occurrence to form a revised bitmap to first include a plurality of most common discrete blocks, creating a physical volume map from the revised bitmap, reviewing, from the physical volume map, an initial virtual volume of the virtual volumes contained on a corresponding original physical volume, to determine whether moving the initial virtual volume to a different physical volume reduces the total number of data blocks in the physical volume map, deleting the initial virtual volume from its corresponding original physical volume and adding the initial virtual volume to the different original physical volume to create a revised physical volume map including revised physical volumes, and writing the revised physical volumes to the target set of physical media using the revised physical volume map. | 02-28-2013 |
20130054919 | METHODS AND PHYSICAL COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR TRANSFERRING DE-DUPLICATED DATA ORGANIZED IN VIRTUAL VOLUMES TO A TARGET SET OF PHYSICAL MEDIA - For forming an initial bitmap from deduplicated data on virtual volumes, discrete blocks are sorted according to frequency of occurrence to form a revised bitmap to first include a plurality of most common discrete blocks. A physical volume map is created from the revised bitmap. An initial virtual volume of the virtual volumes contained on a corresponding original physical volume is reviewed to determine whether moving the initial virtual volume to a different physical volume reduces the total number of data blocks in the physical volume map. The initial virtual volume is deleted from its corresponding original physical volume and added to the different original physical volume to create a revised physical volume map including revised physical volumes. The revised physical volume is written to the target set of physical media using the revised physical volume map. | 02-28-2013 |
20130179415 | Reducing Duplicate Information when Reporting System Incidents - A mechanism is provided for reducing duplicate information. Diagnostic data associated with a new incident that has occurred is received and at least one new incident dump file is created for the new incident that includes some or all of the diagnostic data. The diagnostic data in the at least one new incident dump file is compared to diagnostic data in at least one corresponding preceding incident dump file. Responsive to the at least one new incident dump file comprising diagnostic data that is different from the at least one corresponding preceding incident dump file, at least one comparison dump file is generated that comprises only the differences in the at least one new incident dump file that are not contained in the at least one corresponding preceding incident dump file. A report package that includes the at least one comparison dump file is then transmitted to a support system. | 07-11-2013 |
20140096066 | CONSTRUCTION OF COMMAND LINES IN A COMMAND LINE INTERFACE - Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer system, method, and computer program product for constructing a command line. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user can construct a command line based on historical command lines. The user can view and select individual historical and/or available parameters to construct the new command line, without requiring that the user manually type the parameters with a physical or virtual keyboard. | 04-03-2014 |
20140165128 | AUTOMATED SECURITY POLICY ENFORCEMENT AND AUDITING - An approach for managing a connection to or from a device is presented. Connections of the device are identified. Based on the connections, the device is determined and classified based on security zones to which the device is or has been connected, a quality of service requirement for one or more applications within the device, or a level of information technology service management for the device. Whether an existing or proposed connection of the device is consistent with the classification of the device is determined, and if not, an indication is displayed or a notification is sent that the existing or proposed connection is inconsistent with the classification of the device. | 06-12-2014 |
20150039831 | FILE LOAD TIMES WITH DYNAMIC STORAGE USAGE - Provided is a technique for improving file load times with dynamic storage usage. A file made up of data blocks is received. A list of storage devices is retrieved. In one or more iterations, the data blocks of the file are written by: updating the list of storage devices by removing any storage devices with insufficient space to store additional data blocks; generating a performance score for each of the storage devices in the updated list of storage devices; determining a portion of the data blocks to be written to each of the storage devices based on the generated performance score for each of the storage devices; writing, in parallel, the determined portion of the data blocks to each of the storage devices; and recording placement information indicating the storage devices to which each determined portion of the data blocks was written. | 02-05-2015 |
