Big three apps adjust to disk-based backup
EMC's NetWorker, IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager and Symantec's Veritas NetBackup are still the leaders for enterprise backup. But as more and more shops back up to disk, the big three have had to adapt to the new requirements of disk-based backup.
Published: 10 Apr 2006
With disk playing a bigger role in backup, the three major enterprise backup programs--EMC's NetWorker, IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager and Symantec's Veritas NetBackup--are undergoing radical changes.
As disk rapidly becomes the preferred initial backup target, vendors of the three big backup programs--EMC Corp.'s NetWorker, IBM Corp.'s Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and Symantec Corp.'s Veritas NetBackup--are scrambling to enhance and change the focus of their programs. Never before has a shift of such titanic proportions affected the product development of these three dominant players which, until now, have been slow to change.
Of course, the most widely used backup software products have always provided some disk support, but vendors recognize the need for significant product upgrades to take advantage of disk's lower costs and unique restore capabilities (see "Product roadmaps"). EMC's forthcoming NetWorker PowerSnap RecoverPoint module enables central management of EMC's continuous data protection (CDP) product; IBM's TSM advanced copy services for Exchange allows users to tap into Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) in Microsoft Exchange environments; while NetBackup's new PureDisk technology adds single-instance storage for remote-office protection (see "Noteworthy new features").
There's no question there will be some major bumps in the road for users as the movement from tape to disk accelerates. And they'll have reason to be wary. Some Symantec NetBackup users have been reluctant to upgrade to Version 6.0 because of the major code revisions. EMC's acquisition of Legato led it to provide more snapshot integration with EMC's storage product lines, but left existing NetWorker users with heterogeneous storage environments out in the cold. And IBM is showing little evidence it will support other vendors' disk storage products.
For example, Steve Shim, director of technical services at Health First, Rockledge, FL, was forced to look beyond IBM's TSM because he found its 24-hour recovery time unacceptable.
And it took three weeks for Arun Sondhi, the storage management group lead at a Milwaukee manufacturer, to integrate NetWorker with Sun Microsystems Inc.'s StorageTek ACSLS Manager. Backing up his servers behind a corporate firewall required the purchase of another NetWorker server because opening 25,000 TCP/IP ports on the firewall posed a huge security risk to the organization. His "reliance on backup software has become so big that if it sneezes, the CIO hears it," says Sondhi.
In response to user requests for new features, EMC, IBM and Symantec are:
- Increasing their support for faster backups and recoveries
- Enhancing support for encrypted data
- Offering better ways to protect remote offices
Disk-based backup
Backing up to disk dramatically improves backup times, usually in the 30% to 50% range or greater. Aaron Mathes, chief operations officer for information services at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, finds that disk provides him with a higher degree of confidence that his backups are completing successfully. "Disk has had an exponential impact," he says, adding that he backs up 90% of Liberty University's 4TB of data to a disk cache.
The EMC, IBM and Symantec products all include the ability to manage a disk cache (it's an optional feature for NetWorker), a disk volume where data is initially parked before being moved to tape. Disk caches can be shared drives on an Ethernet network or a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN drive owned by the backup server. When using a disk cache it's important to:
- Select volumes large enough for each server to keep a week's to a month's worth of backups online to expedite recoveries. NetWorker 7.3 has a wizard that assesses the size of each server's backup and required retention period, and helps administrators select a disk volume large enough to meet those requirements.
- Determine what copies of the disk backup need to be written to tape and when. For instance, if a server does incremental daily backups and full weekly backups to the disk cache, you may opt to copy only the full weekly backups to tape to conserve tape and schedule the copies during low-traffic backup times to lessen their impact.
- Use a watermark, which deletes or transfers backups from the disk cache when a certain level is reached, for example, 90% of disk capacity.
There are three basic ways--high watermarks, time based and manual--in which vendors allow users to manage disk cache threshold levels, although each feature is not in every program. Another major way traditional backup programs are changing is in their support for virtual tape libraries (VTLs). A VTL presents its disks as virtual tapes, and its disk array FC or iSCSI ports as virtual SAIT, SDLT or LTO tape drive images to the backup software. VTLs are easier to implement in the sense that backup software treats VTLs like physical tape libraries--it will detect and manage virtual tapes and tape ports the same way it does with tape libraries. But users may pay extra for VTLs; they cost more on a per-megabyte basis than similarly configured generic disk arrays, and EMC and Symantec charge an additional software license fee to manage VTLs.
Backup software vendors license their VTL software by virtual tape ports or VTL capacity. Symantec initially licensed NetBackup for VTLs the same way it did for a tape drive--by each virtual tape drive. Because a company may use tens--if not hundreds--of virtual tape drives, this licensing approach quickly becomes cost prohibitive. For instance, using Symantec's old model, licensing for 12 virtual tape drives on a 20TB VTL cost $60,000. Symantec now offers NetBackup licensing based on total VTL storage capacity. With the new model, the licensing cost for the 20TB VTL is only $20,000 ($1,000 per VTL terabyte); however, users still need to monitor VTL capacity growth to control future costs.
In addition to having to adjust to different licensing costs, some VTL users are finding that their backup bottlenecks are moving from the tape device to the server. As the speed of backups increase, the VTL puts more demands on the server to ship data to it faster. Ian McLeavy, manager of global enterprise storage at Black & Decker in Baltimore, implemented five EMC VTLs that lowered his NetWorker backup times from 11 hours to seven hours. But because of the increased CPU activity, says McLeavy, "the backup bottleneck has moved to the server."
|Product roadmaps
EMC Corp. NetWorker: NetWorker 7.4, to be released within the next year, will include the following new features:
Instant backup and restore
An offshoot of the growth of disk-based backup is the increased interest in backup and recovery technologies such as CDP and snapshots. NetWorker and TSM offer snapshot and replication options that support primarily array and virtualization technologies sold by their respective companies. TSM lets users execute instant restores and backups using IBM's TotalStorage DS6000 and DS8000 storage arrays or SAN Volume Controller (SVC). Similarly, EMC's NetWorker PowerSnap modules integrate predominantly with EMC's Symmetrix and Clariion storage arrays. Prior to EMC's acquisition of Legato, NetWorker offered PowerSnap modules that supported older IBM and Sun storage array models; going forward, the PowerSnap modules won't be upgraded to support non-EMC storage arrays.
With NetBackup 6.0, Symantec introduced Advanced Client, which allows the central management console to identify the host-, network- or array-based snapshot options available to the client server. It also grants the storage administrator the ability to remotely configure snapshots on that server.
But don't assume a backup program containing a wizard-like snapshot option will work out of the box. There are a number of tasks required to get some wizards to work in complicated storage environments.
For instance, NetWorker PowerSnap modules are licensed by specific storage devices, so a future storage array change requires changing the host software and licensing. If you're using a Clariion, you must first verify that it has up-to-date firmware; because Clariion supports two snapshot methods, you must then choose the type of snapshot to use--copy on write or split mirror. The next step is to verify that the Clariion contains sufficient storage space for the desired type of snapshot. Finally, you must install EMC's Navisphere Host Agent, Navisphere CLI, PowerPath and NetWorker client software on the host before a snapshot is created. While these steps vary in complexity according to the backup software product, both TSM's and NetBackup's snapshot modules require similar steps.
McLeavy decided not to use snapshot modules. Instead, McLeavy scripts snapshots using SYMCLI commands because NetWorker didn't offer a PowerSnap module for the Tru64 operating systems he used at the time. While McLeavy is now moving from Tru64 to AIX, he still has no plans to purchase the PowerSnap Symmetrix modules because "the modules are a little pricey, considering we already have a working configuration."
CDP and virtualization
CDP and network-based virtualization technologies provide specific benefits that array- and host-based options don't. EMC's RecoverPoint CDP product is based on Mendocino Software's technology and enables users to recover a server to any point in time. Unlike snapshots, users can pick any previous point in time, down to the second, for their recovery point.
|Backup software:
Core features
|Click here for a comprehensive list of core features for backup software (PDF).
EMC's forthcoming NetWorker PowerSnap module for RecoverPoint will integrate with EMC's RecoverPoint technology and give users a central management interface to manage regular backups and RecoverPoint images. Even though the ability to create application-consistent views for instantly recoverable databases at user-defined points in time is already available in RecoverPoint, this new module lets administrators manage these images and backups under the same interface with the same user logins.
TSM and NetBackup allow end users to capture desktop and laptop data, with TSM also extending its support to the server level. Tivoli's Continuous Data Protection for Files and Symantec's NetBackup Desktop and Laptop Option use agents that create an initial image of the data on each PC. Copied writes are then sent immediately to the central NetBackup or TSM server. If the network connection to the server, desktop or laptop is offline, the writes are held in cache and then sent when a network connection is established.
|Backup software:
Disk backup options
|Click here for a comprehensive list of disk backup options (PDF).
However, CDP backup technologies create some issues. Because each write I/O must be copied, server performance could be affected. Secondly, CDP products don't by default create application-consistent images for databases, so administrators must make sure checkpoints are taken from time to time to ensure application-consistent images. And vendors are just beginning to integrate CDP into their main backup software management console; until the integration is complete, you must manage CDP through a separate interface and perhaps pay a separate licensing fee.
IBM's SVC, its network-based virtualization appliance, gives users another way to support a multivendor storage environment with only one snapshot technology. Snapshot modules from NetBackup and TSM can be used with IBM's SVC. It works in the same way that array-based integration works except that SVC supports different vendors' storage arrays on the back end, eliminating the need to buy all storage from one vendor to gain snapshot functionality. This gives you the flexibility to deploy any vendor's storage array to host snapshots. While the initial setup and configuration process for EMC's RecoverPoint and IBM's SVC appliances can be labor intensive, once the initial setup is completed and documented, the configurations on the initial host can be replicated more easily to other hosts in the storage environment.
|Noteworthy new features
While integration with disk is a huge focus for the major backup software vendors, other new product improvements include:
EMC Corp. NetWorker 7.3
Directed recoveries. Allows the backup server to restore backed up data to a different SAN-attached client than the one from which the backup was created--useful in the case of server failures or for disaster recovery.
Clone-retention policies. A clone is a copy of a completed backup job that's created for offsite storage. NetWorker 7.3 gave storage administrators the ability to set different retention polices for clones made to disk than for clones made to tape.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.3.1
TSM Express. Targeted at the small- to medium-sized market, this is a disk-to-disk backup product (with the ability to make copies to tape) that lacks the archive or storage management capabilities normally found in TSM. Initially for Windows; Linux support to follow.
Archive management. Holds data called for by a judge until the data is released by the court. There's also an event-based trigger that, for example, can be set to wait 30 years from the time of an accident until employee data can be deleted.
Symantec Corp. NetBackup 6.0
Cold-metal restores. Allows restores to a different set of hardware than where the image was originally made. For instance, if a network interface card (NIC) on the server being used for the restore is different from the original host, the software will detect the different NIC and install the appropriate drivers for it.
SharePoint integration. Only NetBackup integrates with Microsoft's SharePoint.
Catalog backups. Online full or incremental NetBackup catalog backups are now possible.
Securing the data
When disk becomes the primary backup target, tape can assume its more appropriate role as the medium for portability and long-term data protection. Storage managers are also increasingly interested in encrypting data stored on tape. Liberty University's Mathes, for example, hopes to start encrypting data on tape in the next six to nine months.
For users who now wish to encrypt data, the three big backup software vendors offer varying levels of client-side encryption. While NetWorker and TSM each include encryption with the core product, NetWorker supports only the 256-bit AES option, while TSM is limited to 56-bit DES and 128-bit AES. Symantec users will need to purchase NetBackup's Encryption Option, which includes four encryption levels: 40- and 56-bit DES for customers with legacy encryption needs, and 128- and 256-bit AES that satisfy the more current, stringent U.S. and corporate encryption standards.
NetWorker 7.3 lets each client set a pass-phrase that's used as the key to lock/unlock encrypted data. However, the pass-phrase is needed to recover the data, and only servers in the NetWorker zone in which the pass-phrase was created can recover the data. Pass-phrases in TSM 5.3 are retained by the client and only that client can recover the data. Tricia Jiang, Tivoli's technical attache, warns that client encryption processing will impact that server's performance during backups.
But none of these vendors offers a way to centrally manage encrypted data because there's still considerable debate as to where encryption should occur--at the host, network or tape drive level--and who should handle the key management. Managing pass-phrases at either the client/server level or within the zones to which specific servers belong is problematic, as the individual or group who created the encrypted backup needs to maintain and protect the pass-phrase list to ensure they can recover the data at some future point in time. Most users appear willing to wait for industry standards to emerge before widely deploying encryption. "Encryption is definitely not something you just turn on," says Liberty University's Mathes.
Single-instance storage
Another new backup technology that users are viewing cautiously is single-instance storage. Single-instance storage is a data de-duplication technology that stores the same blocks of data together and then creates meta data that lets the blocks be reconstructed. There are no industry standards for data-reduction technologies to date, and data recoveries are potentially time consuming and management intensive. "Most vendors have implemented [data reduction] in a proprietary fashion and charge an absolute premium for this technology," says Health First's Shim.
Symantec is the first and only one of the major vendors to introduce and offer a single-instance storage backup option targeted at the remote office. PureDisk Server is NetBackup's data-reduction technology. Users may install a PureDisk client or server at each remote office to back up the office's data to a PureDisk master server in the data center. Once an initial backup is complete, only changed blocks are captured and sent back to the central office, greatly reducing the amount of stored data and the bandwidth required between the two offices.
However, the major backup software vendors are just starting to respond to the significant changes that cheap disk is bringing to backup and restore. Their products require major changes to stay relevant and support user needs for data security and remote-office protection. Although users shouldn't be in a hurry to abandon their current backup software products, viable alternatives from new startups are rapidly emerging. Stay tuned.

Intelligent Test Automation SAVES LIVES
Apr 4 2019

Max Gerrard - VP, Global Technical Services
Does your software work?
For some, software affects business outcomes like conversions and revenue.
For others, software can ensure a patient is properly monitored in the hospital or an astronaut safely returns to Earth from a mission.
Traditionally testing and monitoring have been used to check if software "works" without looking at the implications. And that's a problem.
It means that software is released on the strength of being 'good enough' from a technical viewpoint, without necessarily doing what it needs to do for the organization.
The solution?
Link intelligent test automation in dev with monitoring of real user behavior in live – and associate both with business KPIs. This includes using AI-assisted testing to diagnose functionality, performance and usability issues, and predicting the success of an app on release.
For a retailer this could mean boosting revenue and saving costs. For a healthcare provider it could mean saving lives.
In this webinar we'll show you how organizations such as Cerner, Citibank, and Walmart have used this approach to improve performance by 23%, increase app store rating from 3 to 4.5 stars, and cut the cost of testing by 47%.

Beyond Functional Testing – three new releases that will transform your testing
Jan 29 2019
24 mins
Dr. Gareth Smith, Chris Howard, Pamela Gillaspie
While it's critical to know the extent to which an application meets functional requirements, there is more to software testing than answering the question 'does it work?'.
You also need to know if it scales (performance testing) and if the user experience will be acceptable (usability testing). Ultimately, you need to establish that it will deliver the required business value.
Until now, these extra steps have added layers of complexity in terms of timing, cost and expertise. As a result, they can introduce delays or get overlooked completely.
In this webinar, we will show you how to:
• Automate performance testing and usability testing
• Seamlessly integrate them with functional testing, including using your functional test models to drive performance tests.
The result: faster release cycles, less duplicated effort, and better software.
We will also show you how to test enterprise-scale software systems more easily, with submodels allowing you to break down a large, complex system model in a way that makes it far easier to manage.

4 Real Ways AI is Transforming Testing
Sep 25 2018
53 mins
Antony Edwards
AI is clearly the big topic in testing this year, but how is AI really going to impact testing over the next two years? We've all seen lots of pictures of cyborgs, Alexas, and self-driving cars, but very little information about how AI is really going to change test creation, running tests, reviewing results, setting up test environments, and all the other activities testers do today. This presentation describes 4 concrete ways AI is changing testing, so you can start making use of the cool real technologies that are available today, and planning how you're going to use these technologies to transform testing in your team.

I can't reproduce this all the time but it happens on a regular basis, like every few days.
I resume from "sudo systemctl suspend" and all that happens is a blank black screen, no disk activity etc.
I tried to debug it using the real time clock method. Here's the dmesg output. http://dpaste.com/hold/911067/
This did not happen with initscripts/pm-suspend.
Any clues?

Is it completely blank or do you get the line underscore as described here?
My Arch Linux Stuff • Forum Etiquette • Community Ethos - Arch is not for everyone
Completely blank.
Is it just the display or the whole computer? Have you tried leaving a terminal open and blindly entering a command to see if it works (reboot or something else that doesn't require visual confirmation)?
I laugh, yet the joke is on me
The whole computer, it doesn't even access the hard disk or turn on wifi (LEDs don't blink).
Same here, suspend with systemd doesn't work. I don't need it, so I don't really care, but I tested it yesterday and it looked like dauerbaustelle describes.
Do you know ways to debug this? What might be the culprit? Because suspend works with the suspend-to-mem script included in powerdown, which basically executes
echo "mem" | tee "/sys/power/state"
so my hardware and linux DO work well together on this matter.
Has suspend not worked for you since migrating to systemd or was there a kernel update that precipitated it. I haven't had any problems with suspend, but haven't tried using the command as I just close the lid to enact suspend. I'll try systemctl suspend when I get home and report back on the results. BTW, it might help to list hardware also. I'm using a Sandybridge i7, i915 driver intel graphics (w/ sna enabled), atheros ath9k wireless, and an American Megatrends BIOS.
I laugh, yet the joke is on me
Reporting back. "systemctl suspend" worked just as expected. I had no issues whatsoever.
I laugh, yet the joke is on me
I have the same issue. sometimes my notebook doesn't wake up from suspend. The first appearance of this bug was 2-3 weeks ago.
I tried pm-suspend and systemctl suspend. No difference.
When the Bug appears i get a blackscreen and the keyboard leds do not respond.
I'm on a X220-Tablet:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz
Intel HD graphics
Hi, someone has to find a fix for this, it is highly irritating. Is there any way to make a precise log and try to find the error that way ?
I was hoping this might get fixed with an update, but its been months now, and still no difference.
Just a thought: Is it possible this is related to the CK-kernel ?
Hi, I've been having the same problem on a Samsung X20 Notebook for a couple of weeks now. Before it was working fine.
And for me it's every time I suspend, 100% reproducible.
I suspend from within xfce. When I wake up the system, my HDD Led will be on (constant, no blinking) for about 30s and that's it then.
I have the same problem on my Lenovo X201 with a fresh (2 weeks ago) Archlinux installation.
Suspend works a couple of times and then fails.
The notebook does not wake up at all, no disk activity, no reaction on buttons, no entries in journalctl.
I am now testing different kernels due to the Sandy-Bridge overheating. I could't reproduce the suspend error in linux-lts or linux-mainline. So maybe its a kernel bug?
I have tested downgrading several different packages now and found that it is indeed the kernel causing the problems. Or at least it is on my machine.
When I downgrade to linux-3.6.11 suspension works like a charm.
Downgrading systemd itself did not help at all.
None of the 3.7.* kernels work for me.
Found this:
Still no solution as it seems. Let's hope this is resolved with 3.8
Last edited by Orim (2013-03-03 15:44:39)
I am currently running linux-mainline 3.8.1-1. On the last suspend i couldn't wake up again (black screen, keyboard not working). So far only linux-lts has stable suspend/wakeup cycles (I've been using it for 2 weeks with ca. 30 suspends, non has failed so far). So this problem seems not fixed with newer kernels.
Today I got the 3.8.3-2 kernel update. The problem persists.
So from 3.6.11 to 3.7.* something must have been changed either in the kernel itself or how it is compiled.
Are there any news regarding this? Not having suspend is really annoying and it works on all my other archlinux installations...
Seems to be a similar problem. I've been getting it since kernel 3.8, but it's just the screen dimming. From what I've been able to figure out, it's the acpi_backlight=vendor kernel parameter plus the newer kernel (so likely i915).
Same problem on a thinkpad x230 (kernel 3.8.3, intel 2.21.4)
same here,
Lenovo Ideapad S10-3
I've tried all of the solutions explained in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … apad_S10-3
but what I get after waking up my baby is a freezed line underscore
when I see the freezed underscore I can switch between terminals but if I swtich to tty7 which runs X, it be totally freezed and won't even let me switch between the terminals,

I've tried all solutions from that post as well. None worked.
But I do have an i915.
Not sure if these two problems are actually related. My machine does not resume at all, it's not just the screen.
And I've been having trouble since 3.7.* not just 3.8.*

The problems may not be the same, but since it's only happening with integrated Intel graphics, they are definitely related. I guess we'll have to dig deeper. I'm on 16-hour work days right now, so I have precious little time to even start looking at config files.
For me, resume does not resume the screen, only keyboard and cpu ++ AFAIK. I've got Intel Ivy Bridge graphics on this wonderful NP900X3C laptop.
Initally I though this had something to do with systemd or some dependency of systemd that was not properly installed.
I just wanted to say that I can resume now when rolling back to 18th of March kernel linux-3.8.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz ==> linux-3.7.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from Roll Back machine.
Hope this gets fixed soon, we have to do this!

I don't even know where to look as systemd does not report any errors.
If anyone has any ideas where else to look, let me know.
Same issue here (resume to blank screen and no response) on ThinkPad X60, tried the LTS kernel - works like a charm, so the issue is in the kernel I guess.

Defining Connections
|Introduction | Connections to Other Contexts | Connections Between Representations | Additional Connections | Your Journal
NCTM states three central mathematical themes in grades 3-5: "multiplicative reasoning, equivalence, and computational fluency" (NCTM, 2000, p. 144). Each theme contains many connections to highlight and build on. By emphasizing connections within and among mathematical topics, a teacher can reduce a seemingly infinite list of topics and goals to a manageable set of key ideas. Students benefit because it is much easier to learn and remember a new idea if it can be related to something they already understand.
Mathematical knowledge is of little use unless it can be activated and accurately applied to diverse situations. When solving problems, and when learning new concepts, students should develop the habit of looking for connections to past learning and past problem-solving experiences. Students become aware of the variety of situations in which an idea can be useful as they are encouraged to recognize and discuss connections within mathematical topics and among types of problem situations.

Emulex encrypts data before it gets into the array
If you need to ask what kind, you aren't allowed to know
Emulex is offloading encryption to its HBAs and working with Compellent, EMC, HDS and Big Blue to integrate them with storage arrays and key managers.
There is some data, Emulex and IBM say, that is so sensitive and precious it has to be encrypted and made secure before it passes out of the server, goes across the wire and rests on a storage array. They're talking about some Wall Street financial trades, banking data, national security information and that kind of thing.
Encryption gobbles up CPU cycles and the best way to do it is with a hardware offload processor so there is no application performance hit.
Emulex has come up with its OneSecure host bus adapter (HBA), an 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel HBA, which uses HBA real estate and processing power to do the job, just as a TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine) does the TCP/IP processing job on an Ethernet card.
One problem is that encrypting data tends to weaken deduplication effectiveness. Brian Peterson, Emulex's VP for International Operations, said customers need to make a trade-off between storage efficiency and security. Where high-risk data is concerned, security wins over storage efficiency.
Emulex also recognises that mere use of its encrypting HBA is only part of a security scheme as servers can use directly-attached storage for swap files and these would hold data in clear, unless there was some systems software scheme preventing that happening. It was pointed out by a user at the Emulex announcement that attachments of Exchange emails, even secure emails, are stored in a flat file outside the Exchange database, and this would need to be taken into account when designing an overall data security scheme.
Also, and obviously, server access needs to be secured – since the server application is dealing with unencrypted data and access to the server can get you access to that data.
Emulex is working with IBM on OneCommand Key Manager, the rebranded Security Life Cycle Key Manager. Emulex OneCommand Guardian software integrates with this and supports the management of eLUNs (encrypted Logical Unit Numbers) - blocks of storage allocated to an application. In general, it works with key managers that support the KMIP standard.
EMC plans to integrate this OneSecure encryption hardware offload processing into its PowerPath encryption with RSA, for key management, as well as in Fibre Channel-connected CLARiiON and Celerra storage arrays for host encryption.
Compellent is working with Emulex and its arrays will support the encrypting HBA, with Compellent's automated data movement functioning exactly as before. FalconStore and HDS are also working to integrate their offerings with the encrypting HBA.
Emulex says its encrypting HBA is 50 per cent less expensive than encrypting arrays and 70 per cent less expensive than having encryption switches take place in the wire between servers and storage arrays. Its use can negate any need to shred disks removed from arrays that hold sensitive data. Its use also complies with the SNIA recommendation to encrypt data as close to the host as possible.
The encrypting capabilities of the HBA will be extended to support the iSCSI protocol in Emulex's Converged Network Adapters (CNA) in 2011 and then FCoE in 2012. It doesn't support filer access as the encryption works on block data and not file-level data, but Emulex may eventually extend its ambit to include files. ®

The charity Oxfam, which is heavily involved in relief efforts for the devastated communities of Ha'apai in Tonga, will be the charity partner for this year's Sevens.
There will be a significant presence of Oxfam collectors at the Sevens Wellington street parade held Wednesday 5 February, and along the concourse leading to Westpac Stadium on the days of the event. Oxfam's Txt2Donate campaign will also be promoted, with fans asked to text HELP to 4847 to make an automatic $3 donation to Oxfam's Tongan Cyclone Appeal.
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown, who approached Sevens Wellington Chief Executive Marty Donahue with the initiative, says she is delighted Wellington fans will have the chance to dig deep for the Tongan community.
"The communities in Ha'apai need our help and the Sevens Wellington tournament will be a great occasion for us all to dig deep and offer our support," says Mayor Wade-Brown.
"While rich in tradition and community strength, they have very limited resources to rebuild so the efforts of Oxfam and other relief agencies are essential. Transport and logistics in the area aren't robust so cash donations are an effective way we can show our love and support for our Pacific neighbours."
Porirua's Deputy Mayor, Ana Coffey, who is of Tongan descent, has been active in coordinating relief support in her communities. She says Porirua City Council is offering to pay the shipping cost of a container of relief goods for Tonga.
"I'm pleased that Porirua City Council is supporting the effort to help out Ha'apai. The Tongan community in Porirua is relatively small, but that doesn't mean we are any less affected by Cyclone Ian. My great-grandfather's house has been destroyed and our relatives are dealing with repercussions. It's great to be part of a co-ordinated effort to support the Tongan community here in our part of New Zealand and over in Ha'apai."
Sevens Wellington tournament CEO Marty Donahue says: "Tonga is a magnificent competitor at Sevens Wellington and is always hugely popular with the crowd. The fundraising gesture will help alleviate some of the destruction of Cyclone Ian and we hope Wellington will get behind this fundraising initiative and assist where they can."
Secretary of the Wellington Tonga Leaders Council Senorita Laukau says her organisation is very happy that Cyclone Ian relief efforts will be the major charity focus at this year's Sevens.
"The Tongan community of Wellington is humbled to think that WCC has organised this valuable response for the victims of Cyclone Ian at this internationally known event," says Senorita.
"We support the fundraising as we know all communities have been very generous in sharing our grief and misfortune."
Executive Director of Oxfam New Zealand, Barry Coates, says that Oxfam is on the ground in Tonga helping communities with vital aid, but more support is urgently needed.
"Every dollar given by generous kiwis counts, and helps bring life-saving aid to the thousands of people affected by Cyclone Ian," says Barry.
"Oxfam is helping families with clean water and sanitation, and will provide farming tools, seeds and fishing gear so that people can support themselves, recover markets and rebuild their lives. Please give generously and together we can help those thousands of people who have lost everything."
All money raised from the collections and the Txt2Donate scheme will be dedicated to the relief efforts and assist in Oxfam's activities in the area.

To delete a pair of magnets , click on it to select it, and press the delete key on the keyboard.
The cart has a magnet of it. You can reverse the polarity of the magnet on the cart by clicking the "Reverse Poles" (of cart) button. The initial energy i.e. (the initial total energy) and/or Mass of the cart can be changed using the slider bars below the track. Explore a frictional situation, by increasing the Friction Coeff. to a non-zero value using the slider. You can also change the initial position of the cart on the track, by clicking, dragging, and dropping the cart.
After changing the various parameters in Step 1 and Step 2, click the "Redraw" (Graphs)
button, which is blinking. There are 3 graphs below.
The Potential Energy (targeted) graph, at the top, is not used in this mode of operation of the program, so ignore it.
The Potential Energy (simulated) graph, in the middle, has 2 curves. The blue curve represents the potential energy of the cart due to its interaction with magnets. Note that the bumps in the red curve represent repulsion between the magnets on the cart and on the track, while the troughs represent attraction.
The red curve represents the total energy of the cart. In case the Friction Coeff. is non-zero, the total energy line will slant to the right, starting from the initial position of the cart. The total energy line will show zero to the right of the cart.
The Kinetic Energy graph, at the bottom, shows a purple curve representing the kinetic energy of the cart. The kinetic energy is computed by subtracting the potential energy from the total energy. Negative kinetic energies are not represented on the graph, and are shown with a zero line instead, because they are physically impossible.
Click the "Animate" button. The cart begins to move to the right from its initial position, with a speed that is determined from its kinetic energy and mass. The cart reaches a turning point when its kinetic energy becomes zero, it momentarily stops and reverses direction. At this point the graphs also redraw automatically. If there is friction, the total energy line (red) in the middle graph, is now slanted to the left, when the cart is moving to the left. The kinetic energy graph (bottom) also changes, to reflect the loss in kinetic energy. The ends of the cart are treated like elastic bumpers, and the cart bounces off them with no loss of energy. If the cart's kinetic energy becomes zero everywhere (due to loss to friction), it then stops moving.Direct comments to: Chandima Cumaranatunge (programming aspects); Sanjay Rebello (physics content).

From what I'm hearing from my friends, the Lancaster County Community Garden is a success.
The garden, which was spearheaded by the United Way of Lancaster County and Lancaster County Parks and Recreation, was planted on some land near the Springdale Recreation Center.
Those willing to weed and care for the garden were given plots, to raise food for themselves or donate to local food banks.
Thousands of people donate blood in our area each year, and their generous gift has saved countless lives.
But, the need for blood is constant.
This summer the American Red Cross is encouraging Americans to "Change Lives Together" by giving blood, said Gina Amato, local executive director.
"During the busy summer season, the blood supply often suffers," she said. "With donors on vacation and preoccupied with other summer activities, collections tend to take a dip."
At age 77, William Reid doesn't get around that well and prefers to ride his mower to the small garden beside his Culp Ferguson Road home.
Behind the mower is a small trailer loaded with hoes, clippers, rakes and a Garden Weasel cultivator.
However, those tools aren't getting much use this summer. The same goes for the almost-new garden tiller parked in Reid's shed.
It hasn't been cranked all year, which is expected, since Reid decided against using it.
"Walt Disney" and "Bonanza' were interrupted on Sunday, July 20, 1969. I missed the "Little Rascals" and "Tarzan" that day, too, but I didn't care.
I was focused on what was happening some 238,000-plus miles away.
Only 8, it was way past my bedtime and I was lying on a homemade quilt on the den floor with my favorite pillow staring at the RCA television set. A window air conditioner was whirring away in the background.
Some lessons are never forgotten
Barely out of his teens, Mickey Perry was proud as a peacock.
He had just sold a set of new tires to a customer at his dad's, the late Herman Perry's North Main Gulf Station.
But a second look at the tire guide showed something else. Mickey had a problem and needed Herman Perry's sage advice.
A forecast for dry, windy and hot days will always increase the chance for wildfires.
Accooring to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a wildfire is an uncontrollable fire spreading through vegetative fuels that exposes and possibly consumes structures in its path. They often begin unnoticed, spread quickly and are usually signaled by dense smoke that fills the area for miles around.
There's some good news and some bad news.
The good news? Fresh blackberries are in abundance right now in thickets growing along fences, roadways and in pastures.
The bad news comes with the territory. As good as they taste, picking plump, sweet blackberries has always been, and will always be, a rather thorny subject.
You have to fight through layers of thorns that hold on for dear life as you try to pull the dark blue, purple fruit from its hiding place.
The Pregnancy Care Center, 718 S. Main St., has joined forces with HELP Crisis Pregnancy Center in Monroe, N.C., to aid women and families experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.
The Monroe Center recently started a Mobile Ultrasound Ministry which provides pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds, free of charge.
Amy Vincent, Pregnancy Care Center executive director, said it has already been established that ultrasound has a profound effect on abortion-minded women.
There's a piece of fluorescent orange poster paper taped on the office wall inside the Lancaster County Parks and Recreation Department swimming pool on Wylie Street.
Listed below the contact information for a welder and two swimming pool supply companies is David Taylor's name and phone number.
That's pretty amazing, since Taylor isn't on the county payroll. You would think that pool manager Midenna Anderson's name would be listed first.
Sevin dust might be a gardener's best friend, but it is a beekeeper's worst nightmare.
Just ask Robert Lee Steele; he wears both a farmer's cap and a beekeeper's sun helmet.
Steele recently lost a gallon of honeybees from his hives to Sevin dust.
Legend has it that enlisted soldiers came up with a phrase after noticing how their mess hall portions of pork always contained shoulder and leg cuts, while officers got top loin, pork chops and ham.
They called it "livin' high off the hog."
Given that, you wouldn't think bacon – meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a pig that's been cured, smoked or both – would be so sought-after by foodies, chefs in five-star eateries and TV cooking shows.
Sometimes the circumstances of everyday life consume, drain and overwhelm us.
During trying times, we turn to friends, family and, most of all, our faith.
A year ago, Patience Wood, director of health services for United Hospice of the Piedmont in Chester, was going through a season of challenges in her own life.
After facing a bitter divorce and accompanying child custody issues, Wood said she was searching for a deeper understanding of how to survive the hurt.
GREAT FALLS – When Cherry Doster was growing up in Great Falls, a visit to Eagle's Five and Ten Cents Store on Dearborn Street was quite a treat.
She walked past a line of thriving businesses to get there.
Now, most of those businesses are boarded up by sheets of painted plywood. Sidewalk awnings are faded and torn. Portions of the broken intricate tile work in front of the old dime store have been patched and filled with concrete.
Local produce is now available and consumers are taking advantage of it.
The Lancaster County Farmer's Market on Pageland Highway is in full swing, along with the Lancaster County Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association farmer's market at Ace Hardware on South Market Street.
The county market is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The fruit and vegetable grower's market is open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
Local farmer Don Gowan said the county market is enjoying a banner year. He said the vendor count has almost doubled.
It's about 275 miles from Latrobe, Pa., and Wilmington, Ohio.
However, the great banana split debate splits the two towns apart much further.
Both lay claims as the home of the banana split, but there can be only one.
Who would have ever thought that a one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream, a whole banana, pineapple, chocolate syrup, strawberry topping, whipped cream, and nuts and cherries in a "boat" could stir up such controversy?
Both towns have legitimate claims.
Buford High School graduate Randi Hollis has learned how to be a local role model, whether she wanted to or not.
For the soft-spoken Hollis, stepping into the limelight as Miss Lancaster 2009 hasn't been easy.
Calling herself the most "unlikely of contestants," Hollis left for Spartanburg on Saturday and the 2009 Miss South Carolina pageant which starts Tuesday.
Hollis, 17, is among the 50 contestants seeking the crown.
Looking for some all-American Independence Day fun? You won't have to look far. From neighborhood gatherings to professional fireworks shows, there's plenty to do. Here are some area events:
– Rock Hill will host Red, White and Boom at 6 p.m. today at the Old Town Amphitheater on Black Street. The Oneppo Brothers and ZoSo will perform until the fireworks begin at 10 p.m. There will be children's activities and food. For details, e-mail email@example.com.
Leslie Ragsdale loves her day lilies.
The proof is the hundreds of them in her yard at 2780 Neill Road.
Ragsdale devotes most of her time to tending her gardens filled with flowering lilies in just about every color imaginable.
Others have noticed the beautiful collection, too.
Ragsdale's yard was named the June Yard of the Month by the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs.
Grilling corn on the cob isn't complicated after all. I can say that now after years of scorching and drying out my share of corn ears to something that deer won't even eat.
Like many, I had made it much harder than it had to be.
Think about it; burning a perfectly good ear of corn to the point that it's inedible isn't very hard to do.
Little did I know that all it took was a little water.
Yes, water. That's it; nothing more.
For my dad, the late Tim Foster;

America's Greatest Newspapers Battle Over Marketing Slogan
The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are locked in a mortal newspaper war that will determine the future of American journalism, etc, etc. Haha, but seriously they are arguing over marketing slogans, now.
The NYT found out that the WSJ had apparently ripped off its slogan, "Not Just Wall Street. Every Street" for some ad. Which is really fucked up because, hello, the whole reason they made up that slogan was to make the WSJ look bad! Way to rain on the marketing parade, WSJ! As a consequence, the NYT's lawyer has just fired off the following cease and desist letter. Can you feel the warrior spirit in the air? Feel it!
