The present invention introduces methods for controlling and configuring systems using a new command line interface (CLI) command. The CLI command allows a user to set a save point or a restore point of the configuration (e. g. , setsavepoint). After the CLI command is executed, the user can continue issuing configuration commands. In addition, if at some point the user wants to go back to the restore point, the user can issue an additional command which generates a CLI script containing all of the commands that need to be executed in order to modify the configuration such that it goes back to its state at the point at which the restore point was set.

A method for executing a software routine identified in a task object is provided. The method includes accessing a list of software routine identifiers associated with software routines that are executable on a computer server. The method further includes generating a task object generation command having at least a first software routine identifier, parameter data, and link task information and generating a second task object in response to the task object generation command. The second task object includes the first software routine identifier, the parameter data, and the link task information. The method further includes adding the second task object to a task execution queue on the computer server and executing the first software routine identified by the first software routine identifier in the second task object on the computer server to obtain at least a first result value, when the first flag value is a first predetermined value and the result parameter associated with the first task object corresponds to a second predetermined value.

An automated method to replicate remote virtual files to local physical files is presented, wherein the method provides a replication algorithm comprising computer readable program code that can be used by a programmable computer processor to replicate the (N) remote virtual volumes to (N) local physical volumes, such that a computing device integral with those (N) local physical volumes can read data from, and write data to, each of the locally replicated virtual volumes without modifying volume assignments and without reconfiguring the computing device to communicate with the (N) local physical volumes.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for scalable media output. The apparatus includes a proximity sensor module to detect the presence and proximity of a user, and to generate presence and proximity data in response to the location of the user with respect to the proximity sensor module. The sensor control module is configured to scale the media output of a media device. The system includes the apparatus and a display module configured to output visual information and an audio module configured to output aural information. The method includes detecting the presence and proximity of a user, generating presence and proximity data in response to the location of the user with respect to a proximity sensor module, communicating the presence and proximity data with a sensor control module, and scaling the media output of a media device in response to the presence and proximity data.

A method for implementing on-demand configuration of a logical volume, wherein the method monitors the amount of available storage capacity of the logical storage volume and determines whether the available storage capacity exceeds a predetermined threshold, such as a percentage of available logical storage space. If the method determines that the storage capacity of the logical storage volume is nearing full capacity, the method determines whether configured physical storage space is available. If the method determines that configured physical storage space is available, the method then reconfigures the logical storage volume to include the configured physical storage space. If configured physical storage space is not available, the method locates unconfigured physical storage space, configures the available physical storage space, and reconfigures the logical volume using the configured physical storage space.
