Abstract: A storage subsystem of a computer system has at least one physical storage medium (P). Logical resources (L, R5, D, LR, FC, FW) are generated from a database containing logical resource definitions and user object definitions. The logical resources are arranged as sets of object definitions, and the selection is performed in dependence upon the physical storage media (P). User objects (110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 162, 164, 166, 170, 182, 184, 186) are generated from the database in dependence upon the generated logical resources(L, R5, D, LR, FC, FW) . In this way the generated user objects (110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 162, 164, 166, 170, 182, 184, 186) enable the computer system to utilise the physical storage media (P) via the generated logical resources (L, R5, D, LR, FC, FW). This provides a storage subsystem which is feature rich, which has far simpler source code, and which is relatively straightforward for a user.

Abstract: A method for providing the automatic upgrade of microcode on a computer system connected to a remote system comprises executing a software tool on the computer system to determine the level of the current microcode on the system. The information (504) on the current microcode level and associated system configuration information is sent automatically to the remote system (506) where the microcode level and configuration information are checked against a database (508). The microcode may operate a storage adapter, such as a RAID system, with the information being uploaded via the Internet to the remote server (506). On a determination that the current microcode level is not the latest level (510), the user of the computer system is notified that a more recent level is available (516). This notification may take the form of presenting a hypertext page (518) to the user with links to the most recent version of the microcode to download. In response to a request by the user (520), the more recent microcode level is downloaded from the remote system (524). The user can then upgrade the microcode in the system. The advantages are that the location of the most recent microcode upgrades can be managed remotely without the user having to know the exact web address of the link to the latest version, and that the upgrade is automatically assured of being the latest version.
