Abstract: A method and system for serializing an enable signal designating an electronic device such as a chip to enable or disable in order to reduce the number of pins and physical signal traces required to provide connections for enable signals of multiple electronic devices, such as memory, e.g. Flash and DRAM, is described. The enable signal can be encoded to reduce the number of clock cycles to send the serialized enable signal. A device controller can serialize, encode, and send the enable signal to a decoding module using reduced number of pins and physical connections. Then the decoding module can send a decoded enable signals to individual electronic devices or chips to enable or disable.

Abstract: A cluster system comprises a plurality of nodes that provides data-access service to a shared storage, each node having at least one failover partner node for taking over services of a node if the node fails. Each node may produce write logs for the shared storage and periodically send write logs at predetermined time intervals to a global device which stores write logs from each node. The global device may detect failure of a node by monitoring time intervals of when write logs are received from each node. Upon detection of a node failure, the global device may provide the write logs of the failed node to one or more partner nodes for performing the write logs on the shared storage. Write logs may be transmitted only between nodes and the global device to reduce data exchanges between nodes and conserving I/O resources of the nodes.

Abstract translation: 集群系统包括向共享存储器提供数据访问服务的多个节点，每个节点具有至少一个故障切换伙伴节点，用于在节点故障时接管节点的服务。 每个节点可以产生用于共享存储器的写入日志，并且以预定的时间间隔周期性地发送写入日志到存储来自每个节点的写入日志的全局设备。 全局设备可以通过监视从每个节点接收到写入日志的时间间隔来检测节点的故障。 在检测到节点故障时，全局设备可以将故障节点的写入日志提供给一个或多个伙伴节点，以在共享存储器上执行写入日志。 写日志只能在节点和全局设备之间传输，以减少节点之间的数据交换并节省节点的I / O资源。

Abstract: A data storage system has two computers. Each computer is assigned to a set of data. Two copies of each set of data are maintained. A first copy is stored on a first set of disks and a second copy is stored on a second set of disks. Each time that a data is written by a computer, a label is written to each set of disks, the label having fields for a status of each computer, a first ordinal which is increased each time that a new data is written, and a time stamp giving a time at which the last write was performed. After failure of a computer, a processor determines, in response to reading the labels of the first set of disks and the second set of disks, the most up to date copy of the data assigned to the failed computer.

Abstract: A network caching system has a multi-protocol caching filer coupled to an origin server to provide storage virtualization of data served by the filer in response to data access requests issued by multi-protocol clients over a computer network. The multi-protocol caching filer includes a file system configured to manage a sparse volume that “virtualizes” a storage space of the data to thereby provide a cache function that enables access to data by the multi-protocol clients. To that end, the caching filer further includes a multi-protocol engine configured to translate the multi-protocol client data access requests into generic file system primitive operations executable by both the caching filer and the origin server.

Abstract: A system and method which generates a single use password based on a challenge/response protocol. A box manager module executing within a security appliance identifies a public key (P) and salt value (S) associated with an administrator's smart card and generates a random nonce (N). The box manager transmits a challenge comprising the following elements: . Upon receiving the challenge, the administration card decrypts P[N, BM_ID] using the private key contained within the card and computes SHA1(N). The administration card then compares its computed values with the received values from the box manager. If the values match, then to the administration card returns a response comprising the following elements: HMAC_N[user, SHA1 (password, S)], where HMAC_N represents the SHA1 keyed hash message authentication check of the response elements using the nonce N as the key.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing more rapid takeover of a failed filer by a clustered takeover partner filer in the presence of a coredump procedure (e.g. a transfer of the failed filer's working memory) is provided. To save time, the coredump is allowed to occur contemporaneously with the takeover of the failed filer's regular, active file service disks by the partner so that the takeover need not await completion of the coredump to begin. This is accomplished, briefly stated, by the following techniques. The coredump is written to a single disk that is not involved in regular file service, so that takeover of regular file services can proceed without interference from coredump. A reliable means for both filers in a cluster to identify the coredump disk is provided, which removes takeover dependence upon unreliable communications mechanisms. A means is provided for identification during takeover of the coredump disk and SCSI-3 reservations are employed to coordinate write access to (ownership of) shared disks, so as to prevent takeover from interfering with coredump while simultaneously preventing the failed filer is from continuing to write regular file system disks being taken over by its partner.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于在存在核心转储程序（例如，失败的文件管理器的工作存储器的传送）的情况下允许由集群接管合作伙伴文件管理器更快地接管失败的归档器的系统和方法。 为了节省时间，核心转储器被允许与合作伙伴接管失败的文件管理器常规的活动文件服务磁盘同时发生，以便接管无需等待核心转储完成。 这通过以下技术简要说明了。 coredump写入不涉及常规文件服务的单个磁盘，因此可以在不受coredump干扰的情况下继续执行常规文件服务。 提供了集群中的两个文件管理器来识别核心转储磁盘的可靠方法，这消除了对不可靠的通信机制的接管依赖。 提供了一种用于在核心转储磁盘接管期间进行识别的手段，并采用SCSI-3保留来协调对共享磁盘的（所有权）的写入访问，以防止接管干扰核心转储，同时防止失败的文件管理器继续写入 常规文件系统磁盘由其合作伙伴接管。
