Opportunistic software updates during select operational modes
11137997 · 2021-10-05 · ·

Disclosed embodiments relate to opportunistically updating Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software in a vehicle. Operations may include receiving, at a controller in a vehicle, a wireless transmission indicating a need to update software running on at least one ECU in the vehicle; monitoring an operational status of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a first mode of operation in which an ECU software update is prohibited; delaying the ECU software update when the operational status is prohibited; continuing to monitor the operational status of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is in a second mode of operation in which the ECU software update is permitted; and enabling updating of the at least one ECU with the delayed ECU software update when it is determined that the vehicle is in the second mode of operations.

Repairing partially completed transactions in fast consensus protocol

In an approach, a processor detects a transmission control protocol disconnection of a first distributed storage unit from a distributed storage network, wherein the distributed storage network comprises a set of distributed storage units. A processor identifies a transaction, wherein: the transaction is not in a final state, the transaction is a first proposal, from the first distributed storage unit, for the set of distributed storage units to store a dataset with a first revision number within the distributed storage network, and the dataset is broken into one or more data pieces to be written on the set of distributed storage units of the distributed storage network that approve the proposal. A processor identifies a timestamp of the transaction. A processor determines a stage the transaction has reached. A processor places the transaction in a final state based on the determined stage the transaction has reached.

Method and apparatus to neutralize replication error and retain primary and secondary synchronization during synchronous replication
11138061 · 2021-10-05 · ·

Techniques are provided for neutralizing replication errors. An operation is executed upon a first storage object and is replicated as a replicated operation for execution upon a second storage object. A first error may be received for the replicated operation. Instead of transitioning to an out of sync state and aborting the operation, a wait is performed until a result of the attempted execution of the operation is received. If the first error is the same as a second error returned for the operation, then the operation and replicated operation are considered successful and a synchronous replication relationship is kept in sync. If the first error and the second error are different errors, then an error response is returned for the operation and the synchronous replication relationship is transitioned to out of sync.

Error detecting system, error detecting method and image display controlling system

An error detecting system, comprising: a control circuit; and a first error detecting circuit, coupled to the control circuit, configure to detect error of input data. The control circuit controls the first error detecting circuit to use a first setting to detect the error in a first time period, controls the first error detecting circuit to use a second setting to detect the error in a second time period following the first time period, and controls the first error detecting circuit to generate a first detecting result corresponding to the first setting and the second setting after the detection corresponding to the first setting and the second setting are completed.

Disclosed embodiments relate to adjusting vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software versions. Operations may include receiving a prompt to adjust an ECU of a vehicle from executing a first version of ECU software to a second version of ECU software; configuring, in response to the prompt and based on a delta file corresponding to the second version of ECU software, the second version of ECU software on the ECU in the vehicle for execution; and configuring, in response to the prompt, the first version of ECU software on the ECU in the vehicle to become non-executable.

PREVENTING NON-DETECTABLE DATA LOSS DURING SITE SWITCHOVER
20210294708 · 2021-09-23 ·

Methods, systems, and computer program products for preventing non-detectable data loss during site switchover are disclosed. A computer-implemented method may include receiving a request to perform a switchover from a first node to a second node, determining whether to place a storage volume involved in the switchover in a suspended state, setting the storage volume in the suspended state based on determining that the storage volume is to be placed in the suspended state, and maintaining the storage volume in the suspended state after completing the switchover. In an example, the storage volume may be placed in a suspended state based on examining a volume-specific attribute indicating whether the storage volume is to be suspended when involved in a switchover. In one example, each storage volume involved in a switchover may be placed in a suspended state when indicated as part of a switchover request.

Disaster recovery service

A customer may use a disaster recovery service to generate a disaster recovery scenario in order to make certain resources available to the customer in the event of a data region failure. The customer may specify a recovery point objective, a recovery time objective and a recovery data region for the scenario. Accordingly, the disaster recovery service may coordinate with one or more other services provided by the computing resource service provider to reproduce the customer resources and other resources necessary to support the customer resources. These reproduced resources may be transferred to the recovery data region based at least in part on the parameters specified by the customer. In the event of a data region failure, the disaster recovery service may update the domain name system to resolve any customer requests for the customer resources to the recovery data region.
