Techniques for identifying and selecting equivalent sets of agents with defined capabilities to perform certain actions are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, determining agents to gather information for a storage area network fabric may be performed through the use of fabric discovery operations which identify agents capable of performing various actions within the fabric. From the determined capabilities of the agents, a dynamic capability grid may be populated to assist with the generation of a list of equivalent subsets to perform the various actions. The most efficient set of agents from each equivalent subset may then be selected to perform actions, with other sets of agents in the equivalent subset available as secondary choices in case of an unexpected failure. For example, a fabric probe may be executed in a storage area network using discovered agents from a list of equivalent subsets to most efficiently accomplish network operations such as zoning and topology. 1. A method of selecting agents for gathering information from a set of fabrics in a storage area network , comprising:performing fabric discovery operations on the set of fabrics using each agent connected to the storage area network, the fabric discovery operations producing capability information of each agent within the set of fabrics; populating a capability matrix with data for each agent reporting on the fabric, the capability matrix providing an indication of a set of capabilities of each agent for the fabric;', 'identifying subsets of agents having overlapping capabilities for the fabric as indicated in the capability matrix;', 'performing a communication check on each agent in each subset of identified agents; and', 'adding each subset of identified agents to a group within the groups of equivalent subsets responsive to successful performance of the communication check for the subset of identified agents;, 'generating groups of equivalent subsets of agents capable of collecting ...

Automatic updates to fabric alert definitions

Номер: US20130163436A1
Автор: David L. Merbach, Kevin J. Webster, Li Zhou, Stephen A. Byrd, Sunil Bharadwaj
Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

For automatic updates to fabric alert definitions, a method monitors fabric alert definitions defined for a storage area network having a plurality of switches and a plurality of fabrics. The fabric alert definitions define alert conditions within the storage area network relevant to events occurring within one or more of the plurality of fabrics. The method further detects one or more changes to the plurality of fabrics by discovering relationships between each fabric and each switch within the storage area network and comparing current relationships against previous relationships. In addition, the method automatically modifies fabric alert definitions having a reference to changed fabrics responsive to detection of the one or more changes to the plurality of fabrics.

A vehicle mounted signage system includes a vehicle that has an upper side, a front end and a rear end. A base has a top side and a bottom side. A coupler attaches the bottom side to the upper side. A plate has a front side, a back side and a perimeter edge. The front end faces towards the front end and indicia may be positioned on the front and back sides. The perimeter edge includes a bottom edge. A connector pivotally couples the plate to the top side such that the bottom edge is adjacent to the top side. The connector retains the plate in an upright position when there is a lack of force pressing against the front side. The connector allows the plate to pivot such that the back side is facing downwardly towards the upper side when force is applied to the front side.

Fall restraint system

The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.

The present disclosure provides techniques for updating fabric alert definitions defined for a fiber channel or other fabric-based network within a storage management system. One embodiment provides techniques for detecting fabric merges, fabric segmentations, and principal switch changes of the fabric and modifying fabric alert definitions as a result of these changes. Thus, any alert definitions scoped by fabric will remain relevant even after fabric structural changes, and duplicate and/or redundant alerts may be reduced within the storage management system. In a further embodiment, detection of fabric changes is performed by first storing relationships between fabrics and switches, and comparing the current relationships between the fabrics and the switches against the stored relationships. Upon recognition of changes within the fabrics, the fabric alert definitions may be automatically analyzed and updated.
