In one embodiment, a system for managing a virtualization environment includes a set of host machines, each of which includes a hypervisor, virtual machines, and a virtual machine controller, and a data migration system configured to identify one or more existing storage items stored at one or more existing File Server Virtual Machines (FSVMs) of an existing virtualized file server (VFS). For each of the existing storage items, the data migration system is configured to identify a new FSVMs of a new VFS based on the existing FSVM, send a representation of the storage item from the existing FSVM to the new FSVM, such that representations of storage items are sent between different pairs of FSVMs in parallel, and store a new storage item at the new FSVM, such that the new storage item is based on the representation of the existing storage item received by the new FSVM.

Techniques are provided for storing a row address of a defective row of memory cells to a bank of non-volatile storage elements (e.g., fuses or anti-fuses). After a memory device has been packaged, one or more rows of memory cells may become defective. In order to repair (e.g., replace) the rows, a post-package repair (PPR) operation may occur to replace the defective row with a redundant row of the memory array. To replace the defective row with a redundant row, an address of the defective row may be stored (e.g., mapped) to an available bank of non-volatile storage elements that is associated with a redundant row. Based on the bank of non-volatile storage elements the address of the defective row, subsequent access operations may utilize the redundant row and not the defective row.

Methods and systems are provided for rapid failure recovery for a distributed storage system for failures by one or more nodes.

Examples of systems are described herein which may dynamically allocate compute resources to recovery clusters. Accordingly, a recovery site may utilize fewer compute resources in maintaining recovery clusters for multiple associate clusters, while ensuring that, during use, compute resources are allocated to a particular cluster. This may reduce and/or avoid vulnerabilities arising from a use of shared resources in a virtualized and/or cloud environment.

Techniques manage a redundant array of independent disks. In such a technique, a response time of a first storage device in the RAID is compared to a first threshold. In response to the response time of the first storage device exceeding the first threshold, the first storage device is configured as a pseudo-degraded storage device, such that the pseudo-degraded storage device is responsive to write requests only.

The present disclosure provides a state management method, a method for switching between a master application server and a backup application server, and an electronic device. In present disclosure, the management server updates the recorded backup application server state in time by querying for the connection state of the hot-backup connection between the master application server and the backup application server, and when the master application server is in failure, instead of immediately controlling the master application server and the backup application server to perform switching between the master and backup application servers, the management server controls the master application server and the backup application server to perform master-backup switching between the application servers according to the recorded backup application server state.

A memory system includes: a memory device; a first queue suitable for queuing commands received from a host; a second queue suitable for enqueuing the commands from the first queue and dequeuing the commands to the memory device according to the FIFO scheme; and a processor suitable for: delaying enqueuing a read command into the second queue until the program operation is successfully performed when a logical address of a write command, in response to which a program operation is being performed, is the same as a logical address corresponding to the read command enqueued in the first queue; and determining whether or not to enqueue a subsequent read command, which is enqueued in the first queue after the read command, into the second queue.

A computer-implemented method for testing failover may include: determining one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of an application in a first region of a cloud environment, wherein the one or more cross-regional dependencies include a dependency of the application in the first region of the cloud environment to one or more applications in at least one other region of the cloud environment; determining a risk score associated with performing failover of the application to a second region of the cloud environment at least based on the determined one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of the application; comparing the determined risk score with a predetermined risk score; in response to determining that the determined risk score is lower than the predetermined risk score, performing failover of the application to the second region of the cloud environment; isolating the second region of the cloud environment from the first region of the cloud environment for a predetermined period of time; and monitoring operation of the application in the second region of the cloud environment during the predetermined period of time.

A programmable replacement controller that has a number of embedded applications corresponding to a number of OEM vehicle systems and a selected application within the controller can be called to service or activated through the programming feature of the replacement controller.

Examples include a method of live migrating a virtual device by creating a virtual device in a virtual machine, creating first and second interfaces for the virtual device, transferring data over the first interface, detecting a disconnection of the virtual device from the virtual machine, switching data transfers for the virtual device from the first interface to the second interface, detecting a reconnection of the virtual device to the virtual machine, and switching data transfers for the virtual device from the second interface to the first interface.
