A cluster recovery process is implemented across a set of distributed archives, where each individual archive is a storage cluster of preferably symmetric nodes. Each node of a cluster typically executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage of fixed content data and associated metadata. According to the storage method, an association or “link” between a first cluster and a second cluster is first established to facilitate replication. The first cluster is sometimes referred to as a “primary” whereas the “second” cluster is sometimes referred to as a “replica.” Once the link is made, the first cluster's fixed content data and metadata are then replicated from the first cluster to the second cluster, preferably in a continuous manner. Upon a failure of the first cluster, however, a failover operation occurs, and clients of the first cluster are redirected to the second cluster. Upon repair or replacement of the first cluster (a “restore”), the repaired or replaced first cluster resumes authority for servicing the clients of the first cluster. This restore operation preferably occurs in two stages: a “fast recovery” stage that involves preferably “bulk” transfer of the first cluster metadata, following by a “fail back” stage that involves the transfer of the fixed content data. Upon receipt of the metadata from the second cluster, the repaired or replaced first cluster resumes authority for the clients irrespective of whether the fail back stage has completed or even begun.

A system for automating the recovery of a credential store, in which client software generates a temporary key pair based on a new password, and sends client information including the user's name, the public half of the temporary key pair, and the host name of the client computer system to a server system, from which the client information is passed to a recovery process. The client software process displays a prompt indicating that the user should call a help desk. A help desk administrator verifies the user's identity and approves the user's request by causing an approval message to be sent to the recovery process. The recovery process obtains recovery information consisting of either the decryption key(s) for the credential store, or a decrypted copy of the credential store, and encrypts the recovery information using the temporary public key. The client process downloads the recovery information from the server, and decrypts it using private key of the temporary key pair. The credential store can then be decrypted using the recovery information if necessary, then re-encrypted based on the new password. The encrypted recovery information is stored on the server and re-used for a certain period of time, after which it is deleted, thus allowing multiple copies of the credential store to be conveniently recovered.

PCT No. PCT / US97 / 04906 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 21, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 21, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97 / 43835 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 20, 1997An apparatus and method for recovering from read errors detected by a read channel (70) in a sequence of data read from a disc (18) of a disc drive (10) by using read channel quality indicators to determine the appropriateness of using error correction in combination with other corrective actions utilized in the recovery process. Upon the detection of an uncorrected error in the retrieved data, the disc drive (10) enters a read error recovery routine wherein one or more corrective actions (102, 122) are applied in an effort to resolve the error. One of the channel quality indicators comprises a channel quality measurement (108, 128) determined as the sum of the square of the sampled data bit error values recovered during the read operation. When the channel quality measurement is at or below a threshold value indicative that the probability of passing undetected erroneous data is at an acceptable level (110, 130), error correction is applied to the data (112, 138); otherwise, error correction is disallowed (118, 140). Additional channel quality indicators comprise erasure pointers (132) which identify a particular set of symbols that are suspected of containing a read error. In such a case, the disc drive determines that the total number of symbols identified by the erasure pointers is below a predetermined erasure threshold before applying error correction (134, 136, 138), the erasure threshold selected to be within the correction capability of error correction circuitry 90.

The present invention provides systems and methods for conducting electronic transactions in a distributed computing environment. A communications protocol is provided that enables reliable transactional state synchronization for peers participating in a distributed transaction. A transaction processing application is deployed on a local computer system to manage transactions thereon. The local computer system contacts a remote computer system to obtain authorization to execute a transaction. The local computer system initiates a failure-recovery job that is operable to automatically resend status signals and other information to the remote system if the communication with the remote system exhibits certain predefined fault conditions. The remote system is able to dynamically adjust the definition of the predefined fault conditions. If the transaction concludes without triggering the predefined fault conditions, the failure-recovery job is cancelled. The transaction processing application may also allow deferred transactions between remote parties. The transaction processing application maintains a record of the transactions performed by the consumer on the consumer's local system. Upon the occurrence of predefined conditions, transactional records are sent to a remote vendor or clearinghouse. The vendor or clearinghouse can manage the risk it bears by setting the predefined conditions appropriately.
