Latest Patents
One of Bailey's latest patents is titled "Apparatus and method for autonomically suspending and resuming logical partitions when I/O reconfiguration is required." This invention introduces a partition manager that includes an I/O reconfiguration mechanism and a logical partition suspend/resume mechanism. These components work together to perform autonomic I/O reconfiguration in a logically partitioned computer system. When I/O reconfiguration is necessary, the affected logical partitions are suspended, the I/O is reconfigured, and the partitions are then resumed. This process ensures that any ghost packets that may occur during I/O reconfiguration are ignored.
Another significant patent by Bailey is "Detecting system reconfiguration and maintaining persistent I/O configuration data in a clustered computer system." This invention addresses the management of multiple power domains within a clustered computer system. A bus number manager operates within each power domain, managing multiple nodes independently. Each node contains non-volatile memory that holds bus numbering information for its own buses and those of its logically-interconnected neighbors. This creates a distributed database
