Systems and methods for utilizing tablespace to export from a foreign database recovery environment are described. The system includes a backup host that operates in a foreign database recovery environment and receives a database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment. The backup host receives export information including a tablespace identifier and a point-in-time. The tablespace includes file information for export from the backup host to the source host. A job is initiated on the backup host to generate script information (including logic for execution on the source host to recover the tablespace, at the point-in-time, in the database on the source host), create directories on the backup host, materialize file information including snapshots of the database and incremental changes to the database, and communicate the file information and the script information, via the directories, to the source host.

Recovery points can be used for replicating a virtual machine and reverting the virtual machine to a different state. A filter driver can monitor and capture input/output commands between a virtual machine and a virtual machine disk. The captured input/output commands can be used to create a recovery point. The recovery point can be associated with a bitmap that may be used to identify data blocks that have been modified between two versions of the virtual machine. Using this bitmap, a virtual machine may be reverted or restored to a different state by replacing modified data blocks and without replacing the entire virtual machine disk.

A sensor subsystem for vehicles, such as autonomous driving vehicles, has two network ports for which each network port is connectable to one of two in-vehicle computers (IVCs) for control, configuration, status and data transfers between the sensor subsystem and the two IVCs. The two IVCs can be structured as redundant IVCs. The sensor subsystem can replicate sensor data to the redundant IVCs. The sensor data can be raw image data, encoded image data, processed perception data, or a combination of the data. The two IVCs can be implemented with a modular design with each IVC disposed on a platform separate from the platform on which the second of the two redundant IVCs is disposed. The two IVCs can be replaced separately to reduce repair or replacement cost.

A “backup services container” comprises “backup toolkits,” which include scripts for accessing containerized applications plus enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. The backup services container is added to Kubernetes pods comprising containerized applications without changing other pod containers. For maximum value and advantage, the backup services container is “over-equipped” with toolkits. The backup services container selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to ready it for a pending backup. Interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system provides features that are not possible with third-party backup systems. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management within the illustrative backup services container. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod configured in a Kubernetes node. All configurations and embodiments are suitable for cloud and/or non-cloud computing environments.

An autonomous driving system includes: at least one sensor (1) configured to collect environment information around a vehicle; a primary decision unit (21) configured to calculate decision information based on the environment information collected by the at least one sensor (1), and transmit the decision information to a controller (3); an alternative decision unit (22) configured to calculate decision information based on the environment information collected by the at least one sensor (1) in response to detecting that the primary decision unit (21) is abnormal, and transmit the decision information to the controller (3); and the controller (3) configured to calculate vehicle control information based on the received decision information, and transmit the vehicle control information to a bottom vehicle controller. In this way, the stability and reliability of the autonomous driving system can be improved and safety of autonomous driving of the vehicle can be guaranteed.

A method and device for managing an emergency procedure of an emergency transaction mode that can be activated in the event of a computer attack on or a failure of a transaction network. The method may be carried out by an electronic device suitable for performing a transaction in a normal mode or in the emergency mode. The method performs operations that may include receiving an activation command for activating the emergency mode procedure, where the command includes an identifier of the procedure and first encrypted data; verifying the activation command, which includes verifying the first encrypted data; and if verification of the command is successful, activating the emergency procedure.

Techniques are disclosed for processor synchronization within a reconfigurable computing environment for processor array redundancy. Processing elements are configured within a reconfigurable fabric to implement two or more redundant processors, where the two or more redundant processors are enabled for coincident operation. An agent is loaded on each of the two or more redundant processors, where the agent performs a function requiring data validation. The agent is fired on each of the two or more redundant processors to commence coincident operation. The coincident operation can include a lockstep operation. An output data result from each of the two or more redundant processors is compared to enable a data validation result. The data validation result is propagated. The propagating the data validation result can be based on comparing valid output data or can be based on comparing invalid output data.

A method for configuring a master/slave board during initial booting of dual boards, and dual boards thereof are proposed. Each of the dual boards includes: a voltage input part to which an AC voltage is applied by initial booting; a voltage converter for converting the applied AC voltage into a DC voltage; a communication part for transmitting a DC voltage value corresponding to the converted DC voltage to a counterpart board and receiving a DC voltage value of the counterpart board from the counterpart board; and a controller for initializing the voltage converter when an initial boot signal and the AC voltage are applied from outside, converting the DC voltage converted by the voltage converter into the DC voltage value, and comparing the DC voltage values of each board transmitted and received through the communication part, so as to configure each board as a master or slave board.

Managing data center recovery from failure events can include a failure event platform having aspects provided via a user interface that integrates multiple failure and recovery management and execution features. The features can include, among others, application drift monitoring between production and recovery environments, real-time health checks of system components, user-modifiable scripting for prioritizing and customizing data center recovery actions, and a recovery execution tool.

Techniques are described for providing managed computer networks, such as for managed virtual computer networks overlaid on one or more other underlying computer networks. In some situations, the techniques include facilitating replication of a primary computing node that is actively participating in a managed computer network, such as by maintaining one or more other computing nodes in the managed computer network as replicas, and using such replica computing nodes in various manners. For example, a particular managed virtual computer network may span multiple broadcast domains of an underlying computer network, and a particular primary computing node and a corresponding remote replica computing node of the managed virtual computer network may be implemented in distinct broadcast domains of the underlying computer network, with the replica computing node being used to transparently replace the primary computing node in the virtual computer network if the primary computing node becomes unavailable.
