    摘要: An approach to cable management is presented. A bi-stable liquid crystal display that requires no power to maintain an image is attached to a communications cable. A bi-stable liquid crystal display may be attached to each end of the cable. The bi-stable liquid crystal displays may be built into the connectors. A display module connects to the bi-stable liquid crystal display and receives signals associated with a message about the communications cable. The display module causes messages to be shown on the bi-stable liquid crystal display in response to receiving the signal. The signal may be generated by a user with a hand held driver. The signal may also be generated automatically by computing devices (such as switches) that are attached to the communications cable. Users may easily determine information about the communications cable by looking at the messages on the bi-stable liquid crystal displays.

    摘要: A path selection module selects at least two fibre channel paths between a fibre channel host and a fibre channel destination. A trace route module performs one or more fibre channel trace route procedures for each of the at least two fibre channel paths. The trace route module provides a set of fibre channel links between the fibre channel host and the fibre channel destination for each of the at least two fibre channel paths. A record registration module registers with one or more event servers to receive link incident records for the fibre channel links in the sets of fibre channel links.

    摘要: A method for managing power consumed by storage systems and other devices is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, such a method may include initially monitoring conditions (such as data traffic conditions) on a communication link between a first device and a second device. The method may further include determining whether the conditions on the communication link warrant powering down or powering up the second device. In the event the conditions warrant powering down the second device, a power-down command may be generated and transmitted from the first device to the second device. In the event the conditions warrant powering up the second device, a power-up command may be generated and transmitted from the first device to the second device. In selected embodiments, the power-up and power-down commands are one of SCSI commands and FICON commands. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer-usable medium are also disclosed and claimed herein.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting intermittent network link failures. A tracking module tracks link failures of a network link of a network over a specified time interval. A failure module determines the network link is failing in response to a number of link failures exceeding a specified failure threshold. A mitigation module mitigates communications over the network link.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for simulating multiple hosts. An object module creates a plurality of host object instances. Each host object instance simulates a host to a storage device connection. In addition, each host object instance includes a unique identifier. A traffic generator serially establishes communications between each host object instance and a storage device using the unique identifier. The traffic generator serially establishes communications until a number of host object instances in communication with the storage device is greater than a host threshold. A verification module verifies that the storage device established communications with each host object instance according to a specified connection protocol. The verification module communicates a pass if each host object instance communication is verified.
