Abstract:

A heterogeneous data storage environment includes a first and second data storage system where the first data storage system includes management functionalities that are distinct from the management functionalities included by the second data storage system. A storage system management device is displays an environment management interface that dynamically changes based upon a user's need to manage either the first or second storage system. For example the storage system management device provides a default environment management interface for the first data storage system that includes a custom management display that allows the user to access the management functionalities associated with the first data storage system. The storage system management device dynamically changes the content of the environment management interface to provide a custom management display associated with the user selection of a second data storage system.

Abstract:

A technique for enhancing the startup operation of a user application within a client server network. At least the client is running software in JAVA language. Java Archive (JAR) files needed for startup are housed in the server. Rather than hard code the Jar files which makes upgrades difficult, embodiments of the present invention employ two applets operating on the same HTML page in the client. One applet, the Jar finder applet obtains all Jar files needed for startup from lists of Jar files stored in a directory which is also housed in the server. This directory is readily accessible to software developers allowing its easy modification by adding or removing Jar files or by substituting an entirely new directory. Another applet, the Jar user applet (or user application) receives the lists of Jar files from the Jar finder applet and thereafter obtains the actual Jar files from the directory in the server. After loading the Jar files, the Jar user applet launches the user application and the startup operation of the network is concluded.

Abstract:

A data storage system is configured to provide a graphical display that shows the user a logical schematic of interconnected disk enclosures of a data storage system along with any erroneous connections among the disk enclosures. The graphical display, therefore, allows the user to visually identify the disk drive enclosures in the data storage system and any erroneous connections formed between the disk enclosures. Additionally, the data storage system is configured to monitor the connections among the disk enclosures and provide updated graphical displays to the user showing any changes to the connections among the disk enclosures. In the event that a connection between two disk enclosures malfunctions or becomes inoperable, the graphical display allows the user to easily identify the location of connection error.
