Abstract: A system and method for utilizing virtual ports associated with a physical port in a Fiber Channel adapter for use in a clustered storage system is disclosed. A plurality of virtual ports are created and associated with a physical port on a storage system. One of the virtual ports is utilized as a standby port to be used to assume the identity of a port associated with a failed storage system in the cluster. In the event of a failover operation, the standby port is activated and assumes the identity of the failed storage systems port. Data access requests previously directed to the failed storage system are received by the activated virtual port and processed by the surviving storage system.

Abstract: A system and method for clustered failover of storage appliances is provided. In the event of a failover of one storage appliance to a surviving storage appliance, the surviving storage appliance assumes the identity of the failed storage appliance. This assumption of the identifier is accomplished by activating a network interface controller or host bus adapter with a network address associated with the failed storage appliance and by mapping a iSCSI name from the failed storage appliance to the surviving storage appliance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring of a network device are disclosed. For example, the method receives a monitoring record from a network device, and determines whether the network device is listed in an active pool of monitored network devices. The method then automatically enables the monitoring of the network device if the network device is not listed in the active pool of monitored network devices.

Abstract: A system and method for clustered failover of storage appliances is provided. In the event of a failover of one storage appliance to a surviving storage appliance, the surviving storage appliance assumes the identity of the failed storage appliance. This assumption of the identifier is accomplished by initializing a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter on the surviving storage appliance with the NodeName and PortNames of the failed storage appliance.

Abstract: A technique enables efficient access to logical unit numbers (luns) or virtual disks (vdisks) stored on a storage system, such as a multi-protocol storage appliance. The technique allows a grouping of initiators by a “human friendly” logical name that is mapped to a lun or vdisk on the storage appliance. The initiators are clients operating in, e.g., a storage area network (SAN) environment that initiate requests for the vdisk using block-based access protocols, such as the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) protocol encapsulated over TCP/IP (iSCSI) or over fibre channel (FCP). The technique enables access to the vdisk by all initiators that are members of the initiator group (igroup). An igroup is a logical named entity that is assigned to one or more addresses associated with one or more initiators. These addresses may comprise fibre channel (FC) world wide name (WWN) or iSCSI name identifiers (IDs). Therefore, rather than having to specify these IDs when desiring access to a vdisk, an initiator need only specify the human friendly name of the igroup.

Abstract translation: 一种技术可以有效地访问存储在存储系统（如多协议存储设备）上的逻辑单元号（luns）或虚拟磁盘（虚拟磁盘）。 该技术允许通过映射到存储设备上的lun或vdisk的“人性化”逻辑名称对启动器进行分组。 启动器是在例如存储区域网络（SAN）环境中操作的客户端，其使用基于块的访问协议来发起对虚拟磁盘的请求，例如通过TCP / IP（iSCSI）封装的小型计算机系统接口（SCSI）协议或 通过光纤通道（FCP）。 该技术可以由作为启动器组（igroup）成员的所有启动器访问虚拟磁盘。 igroup是一个逻辑命名实体，分配给与一个或多个启动器相关联的一个或多个地址。 这些地址可以包括光纤通道（FC）全球名称（WWN）或iSCSI名称标识符（ID）。 因此，启动器不需要在需要访问虚拟磁盘时指定这些ID，只需要指定igroup的人性化名称。

Abstract: A probe cover of a tympanic thermometer and tympanic thermometer assembly includes a base and a sheath attached on the base. The base is a ring-shaped thin film object with a central opening permitting pass of the probe of a tympanic thermometer, and is engaged with flanges at the bottom of the probe. The sheath includes a circumferential wall that strains and circles around the sidewall of the probe, and an infrared window fitted on an opening at the front end of the probe. Since the thickness of the infrared window is thicker than that of the circumferential wall and the infrared window is free of pleats to keep a very uniform thickness, infrared can accurately penetrate through the infrared window to the probe of a tympanic thermometer for measuring a precise body temperature.
