摘要： A management sub-system connects via a USB bus to a server or computer being managed. The management sub-system also couples to a management console, which has a number of conventional peripherals, including CD-ROM, floppy drive, hard disk, keyboard, mouse, and the like. These peripherals are emulated as USB peripherals coupled to the server by the management sub-system. The management sub-system includes a Composite USB function logic device that connects to the USB controller in the server. The Composite USB function logic device emulates the various peripherals available at the management console, and provides configuration data to the USB controller consistent with the emulation. Consequently, the server sends and receives data from these peripherals at the management console, as if the peripherals were locally connected by the USB bus to the server. The management sub-system monitors the operation of the server and publishes a web page that can be viewed by a web browser at the management console. In addition to viewing this status information, the management console can operate as a virtual terminal, capable of downloading files and programs from any of the emulated peripherals to the server, and of receiving input signals from the emulated input devices.

摘要： A method for managing disk operations for a computer having a disk array utilizing parity fault tolerant and recovery techniques. A disk READ request results in a copy of the data and its associated parity information being stored in a reserved memory cache. Subsequent WRITE requests to the same disk sectors result in the computer system checking to see if a valid copy of the old parity and data are present in the reserved memory area for the purposes of generating new parity information without having to read the old data and parity information from the disk array.

摘要： A file system technique extends the life cycle of limited read/write media. Rewrite cycles of each file and/or each region of the media may be tracked. Different regions of the media are classified as static and dynamic based on their respective number of rewrite cycles. Static files are migrated to the more worn out or dynamic regions of the media, and dynamic files are integrated to the less worn out or static regions of the media. The file system is further sensitized by allocating a new file to an available region after a most recently used region. Where multiple versions of a data region exist, the file system marks a version of the data region as unstable after a certain number of rewrite cycles to the version and directs rewrite cycles to a subsequent version of the data region.

摘要翻译： 文件系统技术延长了有限读/写介质的生命周期。 可以跟踪每个文件和/或媒体的每个区域的重写周期。 媒体的不同区域基于它们各自的重写周期数被分类为静态和动态。 静态文件将迁移到介质的更旧的或动态区域，动态文件集成到介质中较少磨损或静态的区域。 通过在最近使用的区域之后将新文件分配给可用区域，文件系统进一步增强敏感性。 在存在数据区域的多个版本的情况下，文件系统将数据区域的版本标记为在版本的一定数量的重写周期之后不稳定，并将重写周期引导到数据区域的后续版本。
