Abstract: In a computer system, a standby master processor is configured to serve as a backup processor for an active master processor. A third party replica processor is configured to monitor and record changes on the active master processor when the active master processor is executing, and is further configured to synchronize itself with the standby master processor when the standby master processor takes over execution from the active master processor. Logs of changes are maintained. A negotiation occurs between the standby master processor and the third party replica processor to determine the status of the logs of the standby master processor and the third party replica processor, and logs are applied or paused relating to one or more of the standby master processor and the third party replica processor to synchronize the standby master processor and the third party replica processor.

Abstract: The system and method for diagnosing information technology systems in multiple virtual parallel universes described herein may create virtualized parallel universes that represent a problematic information technology system. The virtualized parallel universes may then be diagnosed to identify potential solutions to a problem experienced in the problematic information technology system (i.e., the parallel universes may be diagnosed without disrupting the live problematic system). For example, the problematic information technology system may be cloned in response to a diagnostic request associated therewith to create various virtualized parallel universes representing the problematic information technology system. The parallel universes may then conduct various problem resolution steps to identify a potential solution to the problem, which may then be applied to the problematic information technology system to resolve the problem associated therewith.

Abstract: Embodiments herein include systems, methods, software, and data structures to generate and render visualizations of configuration items (CIs) represented in a Configuration Management Database (CMDB). One embodiment includes receiving a request for a CI graph from a client including a focus CI identifier represented in a CMDB. The focus CI may be used to retrieve data of related CIs, the data including CI identifiers. A process is then executed for each retrieved CI identifier to retrieve CI data as a function of the received CI identifier and to build a node XML and an edge XML representation of relations between the CIs. This method also includes aggregating the node and edge XML representations into a single XML document and then translating the document into a markup language document capable of being rendered in a graphical user interface. The markup language document is then transmitted to the requestor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for replicating data from a production server to a backup server include recording at least one operation on one or more data items stored in a volume of a production server. The operation may be recorded as at least one journal event in a memory. A determination may then be made regarding whether a system malfunction incident has occurred in the production server and if so, a first set of journal events may be transferred from the memory to an auxiliary storage at a first time instant. At a second time instant, a second set of journal events recorded in the memory between the first and second time instants may be transferred to the auxiliary storage. At one journal event stored in the auxiliary storage unit may then be sent for replication to a backup server.

Abstract: A computer-based system includes a backup server, a production server, a recovery agent that executes on the production server, a database on the production server, a backup database on the backup server, and a meta data file on the backup server. The meta data file includes file names, a file directory, and file attributes. The system is configured to copy the metadata file from the backup server to a production server. When the copying of the metadata file from the backup server to the production server is complete, and before or during a time period in which backup data is copied from the backup server to the production server, the system is configured to receive a request from the production server to restore a file from the backup server with a higher priority than other files on the backup server.

Abstract: Data duplication may be reduced in cloud storage. First snapshots of one or more remote volumes may be received via a network. The first snapshots may be copies of the one or more remote volumes at a first instant in time. Responsive to and/or based on the first snapshots, unique clusters and duplicate clusters may be identified among the valid clusters of the remote volumes. The unique clusters and single instances of the duplicate clusters may be stored in a backup file, such that the backup file is devoid of duplicate clusters. Second snapshots of the one or more remote volumes may be received via the network. The second snapshots may be copies of the one or more remote volumes at a second instant in time, wherein the second instant in time is after the first instant in time. Responsive to the second snapshots, the clusters in the backup file that are no longer valid may be utilized to store the valid clusters in the one or more remote volumes not yet stored in the backup file.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques of managing resources in a service-oriented distributed computing system. As described in this disclosure, a control node automatically manages the system such that the system has sufficient capacity to satisfy an agreement to provide a given level of a service. In order to automatically manage the system, the control node evaluates the current capacity levels of resources in the system. The current capacity levels are indicative the capacity of resources to perform certain acts. The capacity of the resources to perform these acts may be indicative of whether the system is able to provide the given level of the service. Because capacities provided by the resources change as the resources start, the control node uses a predicted pending capacity function to evaluate whether resources that are currently starting will be sufficient to satisfy the level of the service when completely started.
