摘要： A method include forming an initial bitmap from the de-duplicated data on virtual volumes, sorting discrete blocks according to frequency of occurrence to form a revised bitmap to first include a plurality of most common discrete blocks, creating a physical volume map from the revised bitmap, reviewing, from the physical volume map, an initial virtual volume of the virtual volumes contained on a corresponding original physical volume, to determine whether moving the initial virtual volume to a different physical volume reduces the total number of data blocks in the physical volume map, deleting the initial virtual volume from its corresponding original physical volume and adding the initial virtual volume to the different original physical volume to create a revised physical volume map including revised physical volumes, and writing the revised physical volumes to the target set of physical media using the revised physical volume map.

摘要： A database of action plans carried out by a service provider is provided that stores the action plan as a series of action codes as well as the associated information such as error code, error type and whether the action plan resolved the problem. When an error occurs and is reported automatically, the database is searched for the error that occurred. Action plans as well as success rates are collected with most probable solutions being presented first. Each action code in the action plan corresponds to a particular point in maintenance documentation that is stored, e.g., on a management console, at the customer location. After reporting the error, the management console receives action plans for the error based on actual service reports as well as action plans suggested by documentation. When a service representative accesses the management console for information about the error, appropriate documentation is presented for each step in the action plan, allowing the service representative to follow along the suggested action plans and associated maintenance documentation onsite.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and computer system for client-server communication based on delta transfer. A server of the computer system receives from a client a HTTP request for transferring a current image page, compares the current image page and a saved image page which is stored on the server for the client. Based on the comparison, the server of the computer system constructs delta contents between the current image page and the saved image page. The server of the computer system updates the saved image page on the server with the current image page and sends a HTTP response comprising the delta contents to the client.

摘要： A method for autodiscovery of components on a network without requiring that the components have built-in knowledge of the discovery method is set forth. The method uses a combination of attempting broadcast discovery as well as listening to network traffic. More specifically, a substantially continuously executing program is executed on a management console of the network that performs the broadcast and listening functions. The autodiscovery uses these methods in combination to identify systems that are included within the VTS system.

摘要： A method for providing failure notifications to dependent nodes within a computer network is disclosed. A first node monitors data traffic within a computer network. If the data traffic includes data exchanged between the first node and a second node, the first node adds the second node to a list of interested nodes stored within the first node. If the first node experiences an error, the first node generates an error notification packet that includes a hop limit value that corresponds to a pre-defined level of nodes within the computer network that the error notification packet may propagate. The first node sends the error notification packet with the hop limit value to the second node and other nodes within the list of interested nodes. After receiving the error notification packet, the second node decrements the hop limit, performs one or more actions, and if the hop limit value is greater than zero, the second node also forwards the error notification packet to each node within its list of interested nodes.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于向计算机网络内的依赖节点提供故障通知的方法。 第一个节点监视计算机网络内的数据流量。 如果数据业务包括在第一节点和第二节点之间交换的数据，则第一节点将第二节点添加到存储在第一节点内的感兴趣节点的列表。 如果第一节点遇到错误，则第一节点生成错误通知分组，该分组包括对应于计算机网络内预先定义的错误通知分组可能传播的节点级别的跳数限制值。 第一个节点将具有跳数限制值的错误通知包发送到第二个节点和感兴趣节点列表中的其他节点。 在接收到错误通知分组之后，第二节点递减跳数限制，执行一个或多个动作，并且如果跳数限制值大于零，则第二节点还将错误通知分组转发到感兴趣节点列表内的每个节点 。

摘要： Real-time notification is provided of an event which has occurred in a computer-related device. Upon the occurrence of an event, a record of the event is stored in a buffer, such as a Really Simple Syndication buffer, associated with the device. The buffer is updated based on indications and other events noted by a CIM agent in the device. One of a series of regular requests is received from an open browser window on a user computer, the request inquiring about any record of the event stored in the buffer. In response to the request, the record of the event is transmitted to an HTML event element in a page of the browser window whereby the record of the event is inserted into the HTML element and displayed in the browser window.

摘要： A plurality of network addresses identify a source device in the network. A plurality of subscriptions for the source device to receive messages from the target devices each identify one of the target devices and one of the source network addresses the identified target device uses to communicate with the source device. Upon detecting a change to a changed network address, a determination is made of a subscription indicating the changed network address and the target device indicated in the determined subscription is determined. A selection is made of a selected network address, other than the changed network address is selected. If the selected network address can be used to communicate between the determined target device and the source device, then the selected network address is used and provided to the determined target device.
