Described are a storage network and method of migrating data from a source virtual array to a destination virtual array transparently with respect to a storage application executing on a host. The storage application provides particular storage functionality at a source storage array while using metadata during its execution. The metadata used by the storage application are associated with the source virtual array and forwarded, during a data migration event in which data resident in logical units of storage (LUNs) of the source virtual array are copied to LUNs of the destination virtual array, to a destination storage array where the metadata is associated with the destination virtual array.

Failover is provided from a primary Fiber Channel device to a secondary Fiber Channel device. Source and secondary Fiber Channel devices are coupled to a Fiber Channel fabric having a database that associates Fiber Channel names and Fiber Channel addresses of Fiber Channel ports coupled to it. All data is copied from the primary Fiber Channel device to the secondary Fiber Channel device. In response to a failure, secondary port names and LUN names are replaced with the primary port names and LUN names, and the fabric updates its database so that the database associates the secondary port and LUN addresses with the primary port and LUN names. The secondary Fiber Channel device thereby assumes the primary Fiber Channel device's identity.

Described are systems and methods of migrating data from a source virtual array to a destination virtual array transparently with respect to a management application program executing on a host and using management information to send management messages to the virtual arrays. Data from the source virtual array are copied to the destination virtual array during a data migration event. First and second virtual array management interfaces are associated with the source and destination virtual arrays, respectively. The first and second virtual array management interfaces are exchanged during the data migration event so that the virtual array management interface associated with the destination virtual array becomes associated with the source virtual array and the virtual array management interface associated with the source virtual array becomes associated with the destination virtual array.

The present invention relates to a method for excising a nucleic acid sequence from the genome of a plant or a plant cell. This method is based on the steps of transforming a plant cell with a construct encoding a DNA double strand break inducing enzyme (DSBI), generating a transgenic plant line, performing a transient assay to analyze the functionality of the transgenic enzyme, crossing the plant line with a line containing a nucleic acid sequence to be excised and performing an immature embryo conversion or a tissue culture regeneration through callus formation. The method can also be reversed, which means that a plant cell is transformed with a construct encoding a nucleic acid sequence to be excised, and the crossing is performed with a plant line containing a DSBI. As an alternative to the crossing step, a re-transformation of a transgenic plant line with a second construct can also be performed. The invention is also directed to a plant obtained by this method, or progeny, propagation material, part, tissue, cell or cell culture, derived from such a plant. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a plant or progeny, propagation material, part, tissue, cell or cell culture, derived from this method, as aliment, fodder or seeds or for the production of pharmaceuticals or chemicals.

Described are a storage network and method of presenting a virtual array in the storage network. The storage network includes a first storage array and a second storage array. At least one of the first and second storage arrays has one or more logical units of storage assigned to a virtual array that spans the first and second storage arrays. In addition, at least one of the first and second storage arrays has one or more physical ports coupled to the virtual array. The virtual array is assigned a unique virtual port identifier (ID) for each physical port coupled to the virtual array. A host coupled to a switch can communicate with the virtual array using a virtual port ID assigned to the virtual array.

One embodiment is directed to an object addressable storage (OAS) system that has a plurality of storage devices to store a plurality of content units. The OAS system provides an OAS interface so that each one of the content units stored on the OAS system can be accessed using an object identifier. The OAS system is capable of discovering the addition of newly added storage devices to the plurality of storage devices after the OAS system has been at least partially populated so that at least some of the plurality of storage devices have content units already stored thereon, and in response to the discovery of newly added storage devices, configuring the newly discovered storage devices to increase the storage capacity of the OAS system and to enable content units to be stored thereon.

One embodiment relates to a computer system comprising at least one host, at least one object addressable storage (OAS) system and at least one communication medium that couples the at least one host to the at least one OAS system. The at least one OAS system has a plurality of storage devices and stores a plurality of content units on the plurality of storage devices. Each of the at least one host and the at least one OAS system has software that provides a OAS interface so that each one of the content units stored on the OAS system may be identified between the at least one host and the at least one OAS using an object identifier. The computer system maps the object identifier for a first of the plurality of content units to at least one of the plurality of storage devices over at least one first path. In response to a failure that prevents the at least one host from accessing the first content unit via the at least one first path, the computer system is automatically reconfigured to establish at least one previously non-established second path that enables the at least one host to access the first content unit using the object identifier for the first content unit.

A deposition system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes a process chamber, a stationary pedestal for supporting a substrate in the process chamber, and a moveable shield forming at least a portion of an enclosure defining the process chamber. Motion of the shield with respect to the stationary pedestal controls a variable gas conductance path for gases flowing through the process chamber thereby modulating the pressure of the process chamber with respect to an external volume. The moveable shield in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention may include several gas channel openings for introducing various process gases into the process chamber. In some embodiments, the moveable shield may alternatively or additionally include an interior cooling or heating channel for temperature control.
摘要:
A multiple-sided activity device for toy blocks is disclosed. The activity device has a first side including a first activity adapted to interact with at least one of the plurality of toy blocks. The activity device also has a second side distinct from the first side, the second side including a block recognition mechanism configured to selectively interact with any of the plurality of toy blocks to identify which of the plurality of toy blocks is interacting with the block recognition mechanism and to produce block-specific sensory stimulating output.
