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.

In one approach, filesets to be backed up are divided into partitions and snapshots are pulled for each partition. In one architecture, a data management and storage (DMS) cluster includes a plurality of peer DMS nodes and a distributed data store implemented across the peer DMS nodes. One of the peer DMS nodes receives fileset metadata for the fileset and defines a plurality of partitions for the fileset based on the fileset metadata. The peer DMS nodes operate autonomously to execute jobs to pull snapshots for each of the partitions and to store the snapshots of the partitions in the distributed data store.

Embodiments of the disclosed technology concern transforming a high-level quantum-computer program to one or more symbolic expressions. Because the transformations lead to symbolic expressions in the compiled code, one can extract these to arrive at symbolic resource estimates for the quantum program. In cases where these transformations do not yield closed-form solutions, they can still be evaluated many orders of magnitude faster than it was possible using other resource estimation tools. Having access to such symbolic or near-symbolic expressions not only greatly improves the performance of accuracy management and resource estimation, but also better informs quantum software developers of the bottlenecks that may be present in the quantum program. In turn, the underlying quantum-computer program can be improved as appropriate.

In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines implementing a virtualization environment, wherein each of the host machines includes a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (user VM), and a distributed file server that includes file server virtual machines (FSVMs) and associated local storage devices. Each FSVM and associated local storage device are local to a corresponding one of the host machines, and the FSVMs conduct I/O transactions with their associated local storage devices based on I/O requests received from the user VMs. Each of the user VMs on each host machine sends each of its respective I/O requests to an FSVM that is selected by one or more of the FSVMs for each I/O request based on a lookup table that maps a storage item referenced by the I/O request to the selected one of the FSVMs.

A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing coherent accelerator function isolation for virtualization in an input/output (IO) adapter in a computer system. A coherent accelerator provides accelerator function units (AFUs), each AFU is adapted to operate independently of the other AFUs to perform a computing task that can be implemented within application software on a processor. The AFU has access to system memory bound to the application software and is adapted to make copies of that memory within AFU memory-cache in the AFU. As part of this memory coherency domain, each of the AFU memory-cache and processor memory-cache is adapted to be aware of changes to data commonly in either cache as well as data changed in memory of which the respective cache contains a copy.

A troubleshooting method based on network function virtualization is provided, where the troubleshooting method may include: obtaining, by a first function management entity, fault information of a function entity; triggering, by the first function management entity, fault correlation processing according to the fault information, and formulating a troubleshooting policy according to a result of the fault correlation processing; and if the troubleshooting policy is formulated when troubleshooting time arrives, processing, by the first function management entity, a fault according to the troubleshooting policy; or if the troubleshooting policy is not formulated, processing, by the first function management entity, a fault according to a preset troubleshooting policy, where the preset troubleshooting policy is a policy formulated for a fault generated due to a reason of the function entity, so as to ensure that a service is not interrupted in a troubleshooting process, so that user experience is improved.

Techniques for identifying and remedying performance issues of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) are discussed. An example method includes outputting a request to a network Element Manager (EM) to create a Virtualized Network Function (VNF) Performance Measurement (PM) job to collect VNF PM data from a VNF and receiving a set of VNF PM data associated with the VNF from the EM. The set of VNF PM data is processed associated with the VNF. A request to the EM is output to create a Virtualization Resource (VR) PM job to collect, through a VNF Manager (VNFM) and a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM), VR PM data from a VR used by the VNF. Then a set of VR PM data is received from the EM and processed.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for fault code aggregation across application-centric dimensions. In an example embodiment, a system obtains respective fault codes corresponding to one or more network devices in a network and maps the one or more network devices and/or the respective fault codes to respective logical policy entities defined in a logical policy model of the network, to yield fault code mappings. The system aggregates the one or more of the fault code mappings along respective logical policy dimensions in the network to yield an aggregation of fault codes across respective logical policy dimensions and, based on the aggregation, presents, for each of the respective logical policy dimensions, one or more hardware-level errors along the respective logical policy dimension.

A configuration for a component of a primary node is synchronized with a configuration for a component of a partner node in a different cluster by replicating the primary node configuration with the partner node. A baseline configuration replication comprises a snapshot of a component configuration on the primary. The baseline configuration can be generated by traversing through the configuration objects, capturing their attributes and encapsulating them in a package. The baseline package can then be transferred to the partner node. The configuration objects can be applied on the partner node in the order in which they were captured on the primary node. Attributes of the configuration objects are identified that are to be transformed. Values for the identified attributes are transformed from a name space in the primary node to a name space in the partner node.

Embodiments relate to a computer platform to support processing of informational logs and corresponding performance data to detect and mitigate occurrence of anomalous behavior. Metrics are extracted from the informational logs and correlated with performance data, and in an exemplary embodiment golden signal metrics. A window or block of the logs is classified as potential candidates or indicators of anomalous behavior, which in an embodiment is indicative of potential failure or service outage. A control signal is dynamically issued to an operatively coupled device associated with the window or block of logs. The control signal is configured to selectively control a state of a physical device or process controlled by software, with the control directed at mitigating or eliminating the effect(s) of the anomalous behavior.
