Huawei Assigned Two Patents

Configuring storage device in hybrid storage environment
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China, has been assigned a patent (9,171,021) developed by Huang, Wenlong, Beijing, China, Wei, Haibin, Shan, Shishi, Hangzhou, China, and Dai, Kun, Shenzhen, China, for a “method and system for configuring storage device in hybrid storage environment.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”The present invention provides a method and a system for configuring a storage device in a hybrid storage environment. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of attribute parameters of each storage device, performing calculation according to the attribute parameters to obtain a priority of each storage device, acquiring a storage priority of each data object, and performing matching according to the storage priority of each data object and the priority of each storage device, so as to store each data object into a storage device with a priority corresponding to the storage priority of the data object. Accordingly, configuration of a plurality of storage devices and a plurality of data objects in a hybrid storage environment can be implemented, which avoids manual involvement, thereby reducing security risks, improving performance of the system, and reducing energy consumption of the system.“

The patent application was filed on March 25, 2014 (14/225,205).

Configuring storage system connection
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China, has been assigned a patent (9,170,959) developed by Luo, Jiaolin, Beijing, China, for a “method and device for configuring storage system connection.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method for configuring a connection in a storage system is provided. A configuring device determines that the configuring device cannot communicate with a first control board, searches a route information table for route information related to the first control board, wherein the route information is route information between an adapter card and the first control board, wherein the adapter card is connected to a north bridge of the first control board through a PCIe bus, modifies the searched out route information by changing an address of the first control board in the route information to an address of a second control board, and stores the modified route information in the route information table.“

The patent application was filed on December 26, 2012 (13/727,063).
