Multiplexing A Ground Signal On A High Speed Cable Interface To Provide Access To Cable Vital Product Data

View page
US Patent:
7624203, Nov 24, 2009
Filed:
May 4, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/381680
Inventors:
Katherine T Blinick - Tucson AZ, US
Yutaka Kawai - Tokyo, JP
Gregg S Lucas - Tucson AZ, US
Robert E Medlin - Tucson AZ, US
Kenneth R Schneebeli - San Jose CA, US
Michael Stamps - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 3/00
US Classification:
710 16, 398192
Abstract:
Because cable length affects signal quality, amplifying signals differently to account for cable length (“tuning”) becomes especially important when high speed signals are used. Cable length information may be stored in a non-volatile memory which may be integrated into a cable assembly or may be a discrete component between the cable and an interface. Rather than using a dedicated data line to the memory component a ground line may be connected to the memory component and multiplexed. During normal operation the selected line is grounded through a switching device. When a cable is detected, a management controller changes the state of the switching device to decouple the selected line from ground to allow the management controller access to the data stored in the memory component, including cable length information. The selected line is then re-coupled to ground and interface circuits may be tuned for the cable length.

International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370420, 709223
Abstract:
A high speed fabric is provided and is partitioned into sub-fabrics for host adapter traffic and device adapter traffic. A high-speed switch includes an expander for host adapter traffic and an expander for device adapter traffic. The high-speed switch also includes a plurality of connectors, where each connector is partitioned into dual interfaces. For each connector, one interface is connected to the host adapter traffic expander and the other interface is connected to the device adapter traffic expander. Blades are provided with one or more connectors, where each connector is partitioned into dual interfaces for host adapter traffic and device adapter traffic. The blades may be any combination of processor blades, boot drive enclosure blades, switched bunch of disks enclosure blades, and/or integrated RAID controller disk enclosure blades.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring high-speed network traffic via sequentially multiplexed data streams. Exemplary embodiments include a switch module system, including a first switch module configured to be coupled to a first server chassis, a first data port disposed on the first switch module and a set of first port data links configured to be coupled to a set of data port data links, each data link configurable to channel at least one of a normal data stream and a monitored data stream.

Apparatus, System, And Method For Integrating Multiple Raid Storage Instances Within A Blade Center

View page
US Patent:
20080046647, Feb 21, 2008
Filed:
Aug 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/464701
Inventors:
Katherine Tyldesley Blinick - Tucson AZ, US
Shah Mohammad Rezaul Islam - Tucson AZ, US
Gregg Steven Lucas - Tucosn AZ, US
Robert Earl Medlin - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G06F 12/16
G06F 12/14
US Classification:
711114, 711163
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for integrating redundant array of independent disk (“RAID”) storage within a blade center. A plurality of mutually autonomous storage subsystems mount within the blade center through a switch. Each storage subsystem includes a storage module comprising a plurality of storage devices and a RAID controller. A server blade mounted within the blade center may access a first storage subsystem through a switch module. The switch module is a non-blocking, cross-point switch. In one embodiment, the switch module restricts the server blade's access to a second storage subsystem.

Method To Manage External Indicators For Different Sas Port Types

View page
US Patent:
20080168374, Jul 10, 2008
Filed:
Jan 6, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/620652
Inventors:
Katherine T. Blinick - Tucson AZ, US
Michael A. Curnalia - Tucson AZ, US
Yutaka Kawai - Tokyo, JP
Gregg S. Lucas - Tucson AS, US
Robert E. Medlin - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 3/048
US Classification:
715771
Abstract:
By use of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or CLI (Command Line Interface) a user can issue a command to configure an external SAS Port as table routing mode or subtractive mode. The SAS switch receives and decodes the command. Subsequently, the SM asserts the appropriate indicator behavior for the port being addressed.
