Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media configured to predict future system failures are disclosed. Performance metrics (e.g., key performance indicators (KPIs)) of a system may be monitored and machine learning techniques may utilize a trained model to evaluate the performance metrics and identify trends in the performance metrics indicative of future failures of the monitored system. The predicted future failures may be identified based on combinations of different performance metrics and the impact that the performance metric trends of the group of different performance metrics will have on the system in the future. Upon predicting that a system failure will occur, operations to mitigate the failure may be initiated. The disclosed embodiments may improve overall performance of monitored systems by: increasing system uptimes (i.e.

Abstract: A data storage infrastructure may establish a partition that includes a first data center and a second data center that is geographically separated from the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may replicate a full snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of a virtual machine from a first data management platform to a second data management platform, where the virtual machine is migrated from a first host of the first host group to a second host of the second host group upon a failover event occurring at the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may then capture an incremental snapshot of the virtual machine based on linking a first instance of the virtual machine that was replicated from the first data management platform and a second instance of the virtual machine that is managed by the second data management platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring, detecting, and mitigating hardware and software failures. An error detection module monitors the execution of software processes and detects failures of the monitored processes. The error detection module may monitor reboot events and correlate reboot events with failures of the monitored software processes. If a monitored process fails, the error detection module may log the failure and its cause. If the same process has failed numerous times, causing the user device to experience a reboot loop, remedial action may be taken based on the cause of the failure.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring fault tolerance in nonvolatile memory (NVM) are operative to set a first threshold value, declare one or more portions of NVM invalid based on an error criterion, track the number of declared invalid NVM portions, determine if the tracked number exceeds the first threshold value, and if the tracked number exceeds the first threshold value, perform one or more remediation actions, such as issue a warning or prevent backup of volatile memory data in a hybrid memory system. In the event of backup failure, an extent of the backup can still be assessed by determining the amount of erased NVM that has remained erased after the backup, or by comparing a predicted backup end point with an actual endpoint.

Abstract: A diagnostics tool aids in the efficient collection of relevant error data for addressing faults in connected software systems. Context information is collected from a software system that is being displayed. Configuration of the software system is collected, and used to identify relevant connected software systems. Error data is collected via respective log interfaces from the error logs of the software system being displayed, and relevant connected systems. The context, configuration, and error data is stored in a database. Based at least upon the configuration information, a query is formulated and posed to the database. A corresponding query result is received and processed to return an error report to a user interface, for inspection (e.g., by a user or a support staff member). Certain embodiments may further generate an appropriate recommendation based upon the query result. The recommendation may be generated with reference to a stored ruleset and/or artificial intelligence.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a functional circuit, a detection circuit, a processing circuit, and a recovery circuit. The detection circuit detects a fault in the functional circuit and generates a fault indication indicative of the detected fault. The processing circuit receives the fault indication and identifies a functional domain identifier (ID) associated with the fault. Based on the fault indication, the processing circuit generates context tag data that is indicative of a type of the fault and an operational state of the functional circuit when the fault is detected therein. Further, the processing circuit assigns a priority level to the fault based on the context tag data and the functional domain ID. The recovery circuit performs, based on the functional domain ID, the context tag data, and the first priority level, a recovery operation to recover the functional circuit from the fault.
