A system and method for power management of storage resources are disclosed. A method may include detecting an occurrence of an event associated with a storage resource disposed in an array of storage resources. The method may further include transitioning the storage resource into a specified power state in response to the detection of the occurrence of the event. A system may include a storage resource and a power management module communicatively coupled to the storage resource. The storage resource may be disposed in an array of storage resources. The power management module may be operable to detect an occurrence of an event associated with the storage resource, and may be operable to transition the storage resource into a specified power state in response to the detection of the occurrence of the event.

System and method for power management of storage resources

A method and apparatus for use in data processing system for selecting rules to filter data for a tunnel. A request is received to create a tunnel to another data processing system. A granularity of information about the data processing system is identified to form an identified granularity. The identified granularity of the information about the data processing system is used to select a rule, which matches the identified granularity. This rule is placed in a filter, wherein the filter associates data packets with the tunnel.

Method and apparatus for automatic configuration for internet protocol security tunnels in a distributed data processing system

A method of securing data traffic between a local and remote host systems is provided. The method includes autogenerating a filter having rules associated with a defined tunnel. The filter rules are used to permit or deny acceptance of transmitted data by the host system and to direct traffic to the tunnel. The tunnel, on the other hand, is used to keep data confidential. The method further includes autogeneration of a counterpart tunnel and associated filter to be used by the remote host when in communication with the local host. The method further autogenerates a new filter to reflect changes to any one of the tunnels and autodeactivates the filter associated with a deleted tunnel.
