Patent number: 11609831Abstract: A resource matching technique between a primary site and one or more secondary sites accommodates a configuration update of a virtual machine (VM) in a disaster recovery (DR) environment. The resource matching technique determines whether a proposed resource configuration update or change to a primary VM running at the primary site is permissible on a secondary VM configured for failover operation at a secondary site in the event of failure to the primary VM. The technique continuously monitors the availability of resources at each secondary site and enables negotiation between the primary and secondary sites of the proposed configuration change based on corresponding indications resource availability. The resources may include generic resources (e.g., memory, storage capacity and CPU processing capacity) and specialized resources (e.g., GPU types and/or models).Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Hemanth Kumar Mantri, Igor Grobman, Raymond Wai-Man Yip

Publication number: 20220100551Abstract: A system and method include classifying and assigning virtual disks accessed from compute only nodes. The method determines, by a management processor of a virtual computing system, characteristics for a plurality of virtual disks hosted on a plurality of hyper converged nodes in a cluster of nodes in the virtual computing system. The method further classifies, by the management processor, each of the plurality of virtual disks based on the determined characteristics and identifies, by the management processor, one of the plurality of virtual disks to host data for a virtual machine on a compute only node based on the classification to spread out input-output demand in the cluster, reducing probability of input-output bottlenecks and increasing cluster-wide storage throughput. The method also assigns, by the management processor, the identified virtual disk to host data for the virtual machine located on the compute only node.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Aditya Ramesh, Ashwin Thennaram Vakkayil, Gaurav Poothia, Gokul Kannan, Hemanth Kumar MANTRI, Kamalneet Singh, Robert SCHWENZ

Patent number: 10887102Abstract: A method of managing servers of a distributed computer system by using an intent-based CLI (command line interface) executing by one or more processors of a remote computing device, the servers hosting a virtual cluster comprising one or more virtual machines. The method includes receiving, by a first server of the servers, a connection-request from the intent-based CLI to establish an encrypted connection between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes authenticating the connection-request and establishing, in response to authenticating the connection-request, a first encrypted communication channel between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes receiving, via the first encrypted communication channel, an operation-request for a list of intent-based operations supported by the first server.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: NUTANIX, INC.Inventors: Akshay Deodhar, Constantine Andrew Kousoulis, Gregory A.

Patent number: 10877791Abstract: A system and method include migrating virtual machines (VMs) between compute only (CO) and hyper converged (HC) nodes. The method includes identifying, by a management processor of a virtual computing system, a plurality of virtual machines hosted on compute only (CO) nodes in the virtual computing system. The management processor then identifies hyper converged (HC) nodes having virtual disks hosting data for the plurality of virtual machines hosted on CO nodes. When a virtual machine (VM) in the plurality of virtual machines is migrating, the management processor biases the VM to migrate to a first HC node hosting a virtual disk assigned to host data for the VM.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: NUTANIX, INC.Inventors: Aditya Ramesh, Fabien Hermenier, Gaurav Poothia, Hemanth Kumar Mantri, Robert Schwenz, Swathi Koundinya

Publication number: 20190384678Abstract: A system and method include providing backup and restore capability to a cluster node. The cluster node includes a controller virtual machine (CVM) that is communicably coupled to a plurality of cloud platforms and provides the capability of carrying out backup and restore at the cloud platforms without having to run a CVM at the cloud platform. The CVM can backup objects to the cloud platform and store metadata information related to the object in storage. The CVM also takes snapshots of the object and stores the snapshots. The CVM also determines a changed data chunks that include the changes made to the object from the last snapshot. To restore the object, the CVM restores the object based, in part, on the snapshots, the changed data chunks, and the metadata stored at the node.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Ravikanth Samprathi, Chhavi Upadhyay, Hemanth Kumar Mantri, James Sodini, Akshay Khole, Uzli Li, Ray Xie, Srinivas Bandi Ramesh Babu
