Systems and methods for assembling and developing a System-on-a-chip (SoC) by using templates and designer input data are described. One of the methods includes receiving a request for generating a design of the SoC. In response to the request, a template database is accessed to provide templates of a plurality of designs of systems-on-chips (SoCs). Each of the templates is for a technology application. The method includes receiving a selection of one of the templates. The one of the templates represents components of the SoC. The method also includes receiving a configuration file including configuration data input for the components of the SoC. The method includes compiling the configuration file and a definition file for the SoC to generate design files for the SoC.

Systems and methods of load balancing backup jobs in a virtualized storage system having a plurality of physical nodes are disclosed. An example of a method includes receiving a backup job from a client for data on a plurality of virtualized storage nodes presented to the client as a single object. The method also includes identifying at least one property of the backup job. The method also includes directing incoming data for the backup job to a particular one of the plurality of virtualized storage nodes, selection of the particular one of the plurality of virtualized storage nodes based on the at least one property of the backup job.

Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for managing host logins to storage systems. One method of software execution includes applying different management rules to authorized hosts and non-authorized hosts that are accessing a storage device in a storage area network (SAN) in order to prevent one of the non-authorized hosts from prematurely causing one of the authorized hosts to logout from the storage device

Managing host logins to storage systems

Systems and methods of load balancing data access in virtualized storage nodes are disclosed. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a data access request from a client for data on a plurality of the virtualized storage nodes. The method also includes connecting the client to one of the plurality of virtualized storage nodes having data for the data access request. The method also includes reconnecting the client to another one of the plurality of virtualized storage nodes to continue accessing data in the data access request.

A method includes receiving a first command for accessing a tape storage system, the first command containing an indicator that the first command was issued as a result of a failover from a first path to the storage system to a second path to the tape storage system. The method further includes determining whether the first command is a repeat of a second command already received by the tape storage system. The first command is processed based on determining whether the first command is a repeat of the second command.

Method and system for a failover procedure with a storage system

An apparatus to test whether a first network is misconnected to a second network includes an interface to the first network, and a controller coupled to the interface to send a first message to the first network, the first message to request configuration information of the apparatus. The controller receives a second message from a configuration server coupled to the second network, the second message being responsive to the first message. The controller indicates misconnection of the first network to the second network in response to receiving the second message.

Testing for a misconnection between first and second networks

An apparatus comprises a data path capable of coupling a physical device to a plurality of initiators. An interface is coupled to the data path and forms a command pathway between the plurality of initiators and the physical device. The controller is coupled to the data path and coupled to the interface. A controller comprises an executable process that creates a virtual device object that resolves conflicting concurrent attempts to access the physical device by a plurality of initiators. The virtual device object is capable of protecting state of the physical device during successive data transfer and media movement operations by emulating responses of the physical device and redirecting access to the physical device when the physical device becomes available.
