US Patent:

7523506, Apr 21, 2009

Filed:

Mar 30, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/095807

Inventors:

Subramanya Kumar - Louisville CO, US
Brandon E. Taylor - Longmont CO, US
Jeffrey W. Allen - Denver CO, US
Anshuman Mishra - Westminster CO, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

726 27, 726 2, 726 26

Abstract:

An approach for managing functionalities within a system generally involves the use of indicators, such as privileges, that are associated with the functionalities. Each functionality is associated with an indicator that is used to determine whether the associated functionality is available for use by an end user. A determination is made that one or more particular functionalities are to be associated with the response because the particular indicator is included in the set of indicators and corresponds to the one or more functionalities. If the system includes functionalities for which indicators are not included in the set of indicators, those functionalities are not reflected in the response. The response is sent so that information regarding the one or more particular functionalities can be displayed via a user interface. In some implementations, an access control mechanism can use privileges for determining functionality availability and privileges for determining user access.

US Patent:

7649892, Jan 19, 2010

Filed:

Aug 30, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/468615

Inventors:

Michael Sean McGee - Austin TX, US
Jeffrey D. Allen - Atlanta GA, US
Mark C. Stratton - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

3703954

Abstract:

A method and system of network communication receive load balancing. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising determining communication path cost information by a computer system (the computer system coupled to plurality of clients over a network), configuring communications from the plurality of clients to the computer system such that the communications are distributed across a plurality of teamed communication ports (the distribution proportional to communication path cost information associated with each communication port), and receiving message packets distributed across the plurality of teamed communication ports.

Appl. No.:

11/468537

Inventors:

Michael Sean McGee - Austin TX, US
Jeffrey D. Allen - Atlanta GA, US
Mark C Stratton - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

H04J 3/14

US Classification:

370216

Abstract:

A method and system of assigning media access control (MAC) addresses across teamed communication ports. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising teaming a plurality of communication ports in a computer system to appear as a single virtual port to an application program (each communication port transmits message packets with any of a number M possible MAC addresses, wherein the number communication ports is greater than M), assigning a set of size M of MAC addresses to each of the plurality communication ports such that each MAC address appears in the set for a communication port for which the MAC address is the primary address (and such that each MAC address appears in M−1 other sets for other communication ports), and receiving a message packet from a client device across a network, the message packet directed to a primary MAC address of the first of the plurality communication ports.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370254

Abstract:

A method and system of implementing virtual local area networks (VLANs) with teamed communication ports. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising teaming a plurality of communication ports to form a single virtual communication port (the single virtual port comprising a first set of ports and a second set of ports), sending messages belonging to a first virtual local area network (VLAN) exclusively over the first set of ports from a first device to a second device, and sending messages belonging to a second VLAN exclusively over the second set of ports from the first device to the second device.

Filed:

Jul 31, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/208958

Inventors:

Jeffrey Allen - Denver CO, US
Jeffrey Hanson - Westminster CO, US
Peter Madany - Fremont CA, US
Jeffrey Sokolov - Lexington MA, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

International Classification:

H03F001/26
G06F015/00
H04B015/00

US Classification:

702/189000

Abstract:

Provided are a method, system, and program for providing information on components within a network. A user selected host and storage in the network is received and switches are determined to which the selected host and storage connect. Images representing the selected host and storage and all determined switches and connections therebetween are then rendered.

Brian Ehret - San Mateo CA, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc.

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/224000, 709/223000

Abstract:

Provided are an article of manufacture, method and system for rendering a visualization of a network of devices. Aggregate device representations are rendered, wherein at least one aggregate device representation provides a single representation for a plurality of the devices. Single device representations for the devices not represented by the at least one aggregate device representation are rendered. Connection representations of connections between rendered representations of the devices in the network are rendered.
