Abstract: For automatic problem diagnosis, a data collector module collects log data comprising code sets from a plurality of components in a data processing system. An analysis module translates the log data into at least one predefined symptom. Each symptom is associated with at least one code set of the log data. The analysis module selects from a knowledge base at least one problem that includes each symptom. The analysis module further calculates an influence factor for each problem, and ranks each problem from most likely to least likely based on the influence factor of the problem.

Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus and methods for managing data swap in a migration of virtual memory data of a virtual machine. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a receiving unit configured to receive a migration instruction and the second site information; a copying unit configured to copy memory data to a sub-logical unit in the first storage device; and a notifying unit configured to send a notification to instruct the second host to read the memory data from a mirror logical unit of a sub-logical unit in the second storage device. The apparatus modifies a mirror direction between the first and second storage devices and modifies a path table related to the first and second storage devices. Data of the virtual machine can be migrated and swapped in a metro mirror manner, thereby the virtual machine data can be migrated across sites without affecting system operation.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating and managing logical units (LUNs) in a storage network environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such an apparatus includes an identification module to identify a type of LUN, one or more servers that will access the LUN, and a storage system that will host the LUN. A mapping module maps the type, the one or more servers, and the storage system to one more abbreviations. A naming module then generates a LUN name that encapsulates the abbreviations. An assignment module may then assign the LUN name to the LUN. A corresponding method and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method of managing storage devices including storage resources that are virtualized and integrated into corresponding intermediate volumes, wherein the intermediate volumes are virtualized and integrated into individual logical volumes. The method comprises acquiring storage resource requirements presented to the logical volumes where the requirements comprise redundancy, obtaining storage resources available from respective intermediate volumes, selecting intermediate volumes to satisfy the storage resource requirements based on the requirements and available storage resources, where a minimum number of the intermediate volumes is determined based on the required redundancy, and storing user data in selected intermediate volumes based on the required redundancy.

Abstract: A method for distributing drivers from a storage system to one or more host systems includes maintaining, in a storage system, a driver database containing drivers for different host systems. The drivers enable the different host systems to effectively communicate with the storage system. The method further determines whether a specific host system is configured with an appropriate driver. In the event the specific host system is not configured with the appropriate driver, the method retrieves the appropriate driver from the driver database. The method then transmits the appropriate driver from the storage system to the specific host system for installation thereon. By using the storage system as a central repository for the latest device drivers, the method ensures that connected host systems are always configured with the latest drivers. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
