    摘要: A method is disclosed to update multiple devices disposed in a computing system comprising a plurality of devices. The method receives a request to perform a firmware image update for a plurality of designated target devices, where each of those designated target devices comprises a first firmware image, and where the request comprises a second firmware image. The method uploads the second firmware image to a shared memory device, where each of the designated target devices is in communication with that shared memory device, and broadcasts an update command to each of the plurality of devices. The method determines the device state of each of the designated target devices, and if each of the designated target devices reports either an operational device state or an error device state, then the method reports that the firmware update is complete.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for controlling link status changes across multiple independent control modules. The apparatus includes a copy services module configured to control multiple link adapters, each configured to establish multiple communication links between a source and a target storage device. The adapter transmits a link status change notification to the copy services module and starts a timer upon transmitting the link status change notification. The copy services module simultaneously processes link status change notifications from a plurality of communication links. The system includes a communications network and a plurality of storage devices having the above described apparatus. The method includes controlling a plurality of link adapters configured to establish multiple communication links between storage devices, transmitting a link status change notification, starting a timer upon transmitting the link status change notification, and simultaneously processing link status change notifications from a plurality of communication links.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for efficiently collecting code updates. The apparatus includes a generation module that identifies sites that provide code updates based on information about the computing system and its components that is already stored in the system. A supplement module identifies additional sites by monitoring Internet traffic on the computing system and looking for certain keywords, patterns, and regular expressions in visited sites. The user may also manually enter sites to supplement the sites automatically identified by the generation module and the supplement module. A monitor module monitors the identified sites for changes and determines when a new code update is available. A notification module notifies the user of the code updates when the monitor module determines that they have become available. The apparatus may also include a download module that automatically downloads new code updates for the user to install.
