Abstract: A voice mail system includes a call processing unit to receive incoming calls and access requests, a data storage unit to store digital representations of audio messages on a storage medium, and an administrative unit to enable a user to define a voice mail profile. The profile includes a set of voice mail conditions and a corresponding set of conditional actions. Each condition specifies at least one characteristic of an incoming call or system access request. The voice mail system processes a system access request or incoming call by determining whether at least one of the voice mail conditions is satisfied and, if so, responding to the system access request or incoming call according to the corresponding conditional action.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a business method for implementing predefined risk assessment methodology for outputting a series of standardized recommendations. A system administrator or service provider performs a series of hardware, software, and firmware tests on the system. Each test provides the administrator/service provider with a determination output that is standardized into risk assessment levels. Depending on the type of test and the risk level assigned to the determination from the test, the administrator/service provider can recommend various courses of action to lower the risk to the system.

Abstract: A method for managing phone activity records in an automated voice processing system. In a preferred embodiment, phone activity data from the automated voice processing system is periodically written into a first file. The phone activity data corresponds to a period of time. Prior data in the first file is overwritten each time new phone activity data is written into the first file. Prior to data being overwritten in the first file, the phone activity data from the first file is placed into a master file with prior phone activity records. The master file provides a history of phone activity within the automated voice processing system.

Abstract translation: 一种在自动语音处理系统中管理电话活动记录的方法。 在优选实施例中，来自自动语音处理系统的电话活动数据被周期性地写入第一文件。 电话活动数据对应于一段时间。 每当将新的手机活动数据写入第一个文件时，第一个文件中的先前数据将被覆盖。 在数据被覆盖在第一个文件之前，来自第一个文件的电话活动数据被放置在具有先前电话活动记录的主文件中。 主文件提供自动语音处理系统内的电话活动历史。

Abstract: The automated splitting process begins by setting appropriate names and values for the new and old filesystems, physical volumes, and logs. Logs are updated for the split. Next, names and values are checked for validity and to see that a specified value is not contrary to the operating system's parameters. The split is performed with specified copies placed into specified logical volumes and filesystems. The automated merging process begins by setting appropriate names and values for log files, and by setting filesystem names to be merged and synchronized. Logs are updated for the merge. Next, names and values are checked for validity and to see that a specified value is not contrary to the operating system's parameters. The secondary filesystem is deleted, and the logical volumes are merged, creating the mirror out of the secondary filesystem.

Abstract: Initially, a configuration script is stored either remotely or locally on a system. The configuration script is executed based on a set of predefined execution parameters, such as time based parameters, system usage or loading parameters, or even based on the types of operations being performed on the system. Once executed, the configuration script outputs a series of current configuration parameters to a safe storage area. These current configuration parameters define the system in terms of system hardware specifics, software specifics, and firmware specifics, including mappings from logical to physical disk drives. By recording such detailed information in a methodical form and preserving it in an accessible state, a script may be written to place every logical volume, every file system, and every block of data back onto its disk of origin, even if the disk arrays stretch into terabytes. By detailing all relevant system parameters, output can be fed as input into a reconstruction script, which can then be written by anyone skilled in UNIX administration, provided the administrator has the comprehensive system environment description generated by the present invention.

Abstract translation: 最初，配置脚本远程或本地存储在系统上。 基于一组预定义的执行参数（例如基于时间的参数，系统使用或加载参数）或者甚至基于在系统上执行的操作的类型来执行配置脚本。 一旦执行，配置脚本将一系列当前配置参数输出到安全存储区域。 这些当前的配置参数根据系统硬件细节，软件细节和固件细节来定义系统，包括从逻辑磁盘驱动器到物理磁盘驱动器的映射。 通过以有条理的形式记录这样的详细信息并将其保存在可访问状态，可以写入脚本以将每个逻辑卷，每个文件系统和每个数据块放回其原始的盘上，即使磁盘阵列伸展 达到TB。 通过详细说明所有相关系统参数，输出可以作为输入馈送到重建脚本中，只要管理员具有由本发明生成的全面的系统环境描述，可以由UNIX管理中的技术人员来编写。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing storage devices in communication with a computer. Logical volumes are created on each storage device. Also, a file system is created on a first storage device in the storage devices, wherein the first storage device is a current storage device. The file system is copied from the current storage device to another storage device, wherein the another storage device is a storage device that has not received a copy of the file system wherein the another storage device becomes the current storage device. The file system is copied over and over again until all of the storage devices have received a copy of the file system. At this point, a single pass through these storage devices has occurred. Different numbers of passes may be selected depending on the amount of time during which testing should occur.

Abstract translation: 一种用于测试与计算机通信的存储设备的方法和装置。 在每个存储设备上创建逻辑卷。 此外，在存储设备中的第一存储设备上创建文件系统，其中第一存储设备是当前存储设备。 文件系统从当前存储装置复制到另一个存储装置，其中，另一个存储装置是没有接收到另一存储装置成为当前存储装置的文件系统的副本的存储装置。 文件系统一遍又一遍地复制，直到所有存储设备都收到了文件系统的副本。 此时，已经发生了单次通过这些存储设备。 可以根据测试发生的时间量来选择不同的通行数。

Abstract: Initially, a table file is built which lists at least filesystems to be backed up. It also may list the type of backup techniques to be used for a specific filesystem, the filesystem's logical location, and the number of copies to be made. The table file is checked for syntax and is then available for other routines. An automated script may be used for building the table, and then it may be manually edited if necessary. Other scripts may be invoked for backing up the filesystems listed in the script by accessing the table file.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a data system for processing a recursive link in a directory structure in a data processing system. A path to a directory is identified including the recursive link in the directory structure, wherein the path includes a hierarchy towards a root directory, which is a highest directory. Responsive to identifying the path, a highest unprocessed directory in the path is selected as a current directory and all directories in the directory structure beneath the current directory are identified, excluding a directory below the current directory in the path. This step is performed until all directories in the path down to the directory having the recursive link have been processed to form a set of identified directories. All files within the set of directories are identified to form a set of identified files, which then permits backup operations to proceed.

Abstract translation: 一种用于处理数据处理系统中的目录结构中的递归链路的数据系统中的方法和装置。 识别到目录的路径，包括目录结构中的递归链接，其中路径包括朝向根目录的层次，该目录是最高目录。 响应于识别路径，选择路径中最高的未处理目录作为当前目录，并标识当前目录下的目录结构中的所有目录，不包括路径中当前目录下的目录。 执行此步骤，直到到达具有递归链接的目录的路径中的所有目录已经被处理以形成一组已识别的目录。 目标集合中的所有文件被标识以形成一组标识的文件，然后允许备份操作继续进行。

Abstract: A system and method for path saturation in a storage area network so that the throughput of the storage area network may be determined. The system and method includes a software utility suite that uses either a system administration scripting language, e.g., Perl or Korn shell, or by compiled or machine language software. The software utility suite includes a set of software tools to be installed on one or more computer systems sharing access to a data storage system, such as a storage area network (SAN). The software tools running on these separate computer systems communicate and collaborate in a peer-to-peer fashion in order to coordinate loading, testing and measurement of storage throughput on the shared data storage system. The software tools further coordinate the collection, storage and presentation of results data obtained through such loading, testing and measurement of the storage throughput of the shared data storage system.
