Example implementations relate to management of clusters. A cluster recovery manager may comprise a processing resource; and a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to: adjust, based on a monitored degree of performance of a controller of a controller cluster, a state of the controller to one of a first state and a second state; and reassign a corresponding portion of a plurality of APs managed by the controller periodically to a different controller until the state of the controller is determined to be adjustable to the first state. The reassignment can be triggered responsive to a state adjustment of the controller from the first state to the second state.

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a system, method, and computer program product for recovering from a network failure in a communication network using network function virtualization (NFV-based network), the method including: selecting a first network component of the NFV-based network, detecting at least one probable failure of the first network component, selecting a second network component to be used for replacing the instance of the VNF in the first network component prior to a failure of the first network component, and securing at least one resource of the selected second network component for the other instance of the VNF and maintaining, in the selected second network component, an updated copy of data associated with the instance of the VNF in the first network component.

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 file server manager disclosed herein accesses information regarding a selected share of a source distributed file server for replication, where the selected share stores at least a portion of a namespace of storage items and is hosted by a first file server virtual machine of the source distributed file server. The file server manager accesses a mapping between virtual machines of the source distributed file server and virtual machines of the destination distributed file server and replicates the selected share to a second file server virtual machine of the destination distributed file server based on the mapping. The file server manager directs a request to read a first storage item to the destination distributed file server and directs a request to write to a second storage item to the source distributed file server while the destination distributed file server services the request to read the first storage item.

Disclosed herein are systems and method for backing up data in a load-balanced clustered environment. A clustered resource to be backed up is selected, wherein the clustered resource is stored on a common storage system and operated on by a cluster-aware application executing on at least a first node and a second node of a computing cluster. A load-balanced application may migrate the clustered resource from the first node with a high-load consumption to the second node with low-load consumption. A list of changes made by both nodes are received and merged. A backup agent then generates a consistent incremental backup using data retrieved from the common storage system according to the merged list of changes to the clustered resource.

A substitution apparatus for installation in a vehicle in which a plurality of in-vehicle control apparatuses are implemented, the substitution apparatus including a control unit and a substitute unit. The control unit is configured to control the substitute unit based on transmission data transmitted from the in-vehicle control apparatuses, specify an abnormal in-vehicle control apparatus based on the transmission data, disable the specified abnormal in-vehicle control apparatus, and apply, to the substitute unit, a program for exhibiting functions otherwise normally executed by the specified abnormal in-vehicle control apparatus. The substitute unit is configured to substitute for the disabled in-vehicle control apparatus by executing the applied program.

In various embodiments, a method for page cache management is described. The method can include: identifying a storage device fault associated with a fault-resilient storage device; determining that a first region associated with the fault-resilient storage device comprises an inaccessible space and that a second region associated with the fault-resilient storage device comprises an accessible space; identifying a read command at the second storage device for the data and determine, based on the read command, first data requested by a read operation from a local memory of the second storage device; determining, based on the read command, second data requested by the read operation from the second region; retrieving the second data from the second region; and scheduling a transmission of the second data from the fault-resilient storage device to the second storage device.

Example embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for continuous data protection (CDP) and more specifically to an input and output (I/O) filtering framework and log management system to seek a near-zero recovery point objective (RPO).

The computer system includes a node including a processor and a memory, and the processor and the memory serve as arithmetic operation resources. The computer system has an application program that operates using the arithmetic operation resources, and a storage controlling program that operates using the arithmetic operation resources for processing data to be inputted to and outputted from a storage device by the application program. The computer system has use resource amount information that associates operation states of the application program and the arithmetic operation resources that are to be used by the application program and the storage controlling program. The computer system changes allocation of the arithmetic operation resources to the application program and the storage controlling program used by the application program on the basis of an operation state of the application program and the use resource amount information.

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.
