SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY APPLICATION MIGRATION IN A VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for high availability (HA) application migration in a virtualized environment. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute or instantiate the instructions to identify an HA slot in a virtual server rack, the HA slot to facilitate a failover of an application executing on a first virtual machine (VM) in the virtual server rack, the first VM identified as a protected VM, deploy a second VM in the HA slot, transfer data from the first VM to the second VM, and, in response to not identifying a failure of at least one of the first or second VMs during the transfer, trigger a shutdown of the first VM, and synchronize migration data associated with the virtual server rack to identify the second VM as the protected VM.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORAGE AWARENESS SERVICE FAILOVER
A method, computer program product, and computing system for determining whether a storage awareness service provider node of a storage system has failed. In response to determining that the storage awareness service provider node has failed, an intermediate storage awareness service may be deployed within the storage system. At least one request may be processed on the storage system via the intermediate storage awareness service.
Event-driven system failover and failback
A system determines that a primary event processor, included in a primary data center, is associated with a failure. The primary event processor is included in the primary data center and configured to process first events stored in a main event store of the primary data center. The system identifies a secondary event processor, in a secondary data center, that is to process one or more first events based on the failure. The primary event processor and the secondary event processor are configured to process a same type of event. The system causes, based on a configuration associated with the primary or secondary event processor, the one or more first events to be retrieved from one of the main event store or a replica event store. The replica event store is included in the secondary data center and mirrors the main event store of the primary data center.
AUTOMATED DISCOVERY OF DATABASES
In some examples, a networked computing system comprises a backup node cluster of a backup service in communication with a host database node cluster of a host, a host database at least initially undiscovered by the backup node cluster, one or more processors coupled with memory storing instructions that, when executed, perform operations comprising at least installing a backup agent on at least one node of the host database node cluster, registering the host at the backup service, based on the host registration, triggering a host database discovery process to discover the undiscovered database automatically, the discovery process including a discovery call, in response to the discovery call, receiving metadata relating to the discovered database, and communicating with the discovered database.
EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT IN COMPUTING SERVICE
To address loss of access to computing instances in a cloud computing environment, techniques are introduced for moving an application between computing instances in the cloud computing environment. A computing service captures baseline or delta snapshots of the state of the application running on a first computing instance. A baseline snapshot is indicative of the full state of the application, and a delta snapshot is indicative of changes in the state since a most recent snapshot was captured. Responsive to receiving an indication that the first computing instance is to stop servicing the application, the computing service stops the application from running on the first computing instance and moves data from the captured snapshots to a second computing instance. The computing service resume execution of the application on the second computing instances and captures snapshots of the state of the application at the second computing instance.
INTRA-FOOTPRINT COMPUTING CLUSTER BRING-UP
Methods, systems and computer program products for intra-footprint computing cluster bring-up within a virtual private cloud. A network connection is established between an initiating module and a virtual private cloud (VPC). An initiating module allocates resources of the virtual private cloud including a plurality of nodes that correspond to members of a to-be-configured computing cluster. A cluster management module having coded therein an intended computing cluster configuration is configured into at least one of the plurality of nodes. The members of the to-be-configured computing cluster interoperate from within the VPC to accomplish a set of computing cluster bring-up operations that configure the plurality of members into the intended computing cluster configuration. Execution of bring-up instructions of the management module serve to allocate networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud. The allocated networking IP addresses of the virtual private cloud are assigned to networking interfaces of the plurality of nodes.
Autonomous driving system
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.
Deallocation within a storage system
Failure information associated with a plurality of blocks of a solid-state storage device of a plurality of solid-state storage devices is received. One or more blocks of the plurality of blocks storing uncorrectable data are identified based on the received failure information. A partial deallocation of the one or more blocks of the plurality of blocks is issued, the partial deallocation indicating that the one or more blocks store uncorrectable data. A remedial action associated with the one or more blocks of the plurality of blocks is performed.
Virtualized file server user views
In one embodiment, a system for managing a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines, wherein each of the host machines comprises a hypervisor and one or more user virtual machines (user VMs), and a virtual machine controller, one or more virtual disks comprising a plurality of storage devices, a virtualized file server (VFS) comprising a plurality of file server virtual machines (FSVMs), wherein each of the FSVMs is running on one of the host machines. The VFS may be configured to receive a request for storage system information from a user and generate and send a response to the request, wherein the response is customized according to configuration information of the VFS that is specific to the user. The storage system information requested may include a total size of storage available to the user, and the user may have an associated storage quota limit.
System and method for backing up highly available source databases in a hyperconverged system
A system and method includes a plurality of nodes distributed between a first cluster and a second cluster, each of the plurality of nodes storing a copy of a source database and a processor executing computer-readable instructions stored on a memory to designate a first node of the plurality of nodes as a primary node, designate remaining ones of the plurality of nodes as secondary nodes to take over from the primary node upon failure of the primary node, designate a second node of the plurality of nodes as an initial active node, backup the source database from the initial active node, automatically designate, based on a switch over policy, a third node of the plurality of nodes as a next active node upon the initial active node becoming unavailable, and continue backups of the source database from the next active node upon the initial active node becoming unavailable.
