Method and system for providing distributed domains in a fiber channel fabric including determining a domain configuration of a resource, retrieving one or more current domain configuration parameters, determining a list of domains in a fiber channel fabric, and generating an updated domain list for the resource in the fabric is disclosed.

Method and system for providing distributed allowed domains in a data network

In one embodiment, detecting a failure mode of a first communication link on a first port, selecting a second communication link on a second port associated with the first port, and transmitting a profile information associated with the second port are provided.

Graceful failover of a principal link in a fiber-channel fabric

In one embodiment, during participation in an online collaborative computing session, a computer process associated with the session may monitor an audio stream of the session for a predefined action-inducing phrase. In response to the phrase, a subsequent segment of the session is recorded, such that a report may be generated containing any recorded segments of the session (e.g., and dynamically sent to participants of the session).

Automated and enhanced note taking for online collaborative computing sessions

Various systems and methods for monitoring an application or service group within one cluster as a resource of another cluster are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method involves detecting an error indication generated by a first cluster (e.g., the error indication can be generated by a cluster controller or service group within the first cluster). The first cluster is implemented on a cluster resource (e.g., a virtual machine) of a second cluster. In response to detecting the error indication, restart of the cluster resource is initiated.

In one embodiment, a technique for performing partial build fabric operations when merging two or more Fibre Channel fabrics is provided. By maintaining a Principal Switch already assigned for one of two merging fabrics, a limited 'partial build' may be performed for the other merging fabric. As a result, the time required for a Principal Switch selection phase may be greatly reduced.

Partial build of a fibre channel fabric

In one embodiment, detecting an initialization of a synchronization phase of a network device in a fiber channel fabric, performing synchronization phase optimization of the network device to select a predetermined number of interfaces, and transmitting a synchronization request on the predetermined number of interfaces, are provided.

Selective build fabric (BF) and reconfigure fabric (RCF) flooding

A method and apparatus for secure storage of data by using redundant keys is provided. The method includes encrypting a data set by using a master key, which can be encrypted by different sync keys. Sync keys can be generated by different supervisor cards. Thereafter, the encrypted master key and the encrypted data set can be stored in a memory. Further, credentials stored in one of the supervisor cards can be encrypted and transferred to other supervisor cards, to provide redundancy of supervisor cards.
