Abstract: Technologies for cluster systems that are natively geo-site-aware. Such a cluster system makes use of this awareness to determine the subsets of nodes located at various geo-sites at physical configuration, to optimize workload placement based on the geo-sites, to make failover and failback decisions based on the geo-sites, and to assign voting and prune nodes for quorum management based on the geo-sites. Such capabilities result in cluster systems that are more resilient and more efficient in terms of resource usage than cluster systems without such native geo-site awareness.

Abstract: A device hosting a universal integrated circuit card (UICC or eUICC) initiates an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) installation flow with an SIM server. The purpose of the eSIM installation flow is to perform a profile provisioning action. The device and, for example, the eUICC preserve state information related to the eSIM installation flow. The eSIM installation flow includes generation of a one-time public key at the eUICC. In some instances, the eSIM installation flow may be interrupted by an error event before successful installation of the eSIM in the eUICC. A subsequent renewed installation attempt is locally initiated and completed without assistance of the eSIM server. In some embodiments, the recovery and subsequent successful eSIM installation make use of the state information preserved during the earlier eSIM installation flow.

Abstract: A method for operating a control unit of a motor vehicle. A status inquiry is transmitted by a watchdog unit to a first monitoring unit, which is implemented on a first processor core of a multicore processor. A status response is ascertained by the first monitoring unit as a function of the status inquiry. A fault is ascertained by the watchdog unit as a function of the status response.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for improving communications on feedback transmission channels, in which there is a possibility of bit errors. The basic solutions to counter those errors are: proper design of the CSI vector quantizer indexing (i.e., the bit representation of centroid indices) in order to minimize impact of index errors, use of error detection techniques to expurgate the erroneous indices and use of other methods to recover correct indices.

Abstract: A device may receive error data indicating that an error occurred, the error being associated with a data processing job scheduled to be performed by a data processing platform. The device may identify input data for the data processing job associated with the error and determine that the error is based on the data processing platform not receiving the input data. In addition, the device may determine a location of the input data and determine a measure of priority associated with the data processing job. Based on the location of the input data and the measure of priority, the device may perform an action to correct the error.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for hardware recovery are disclosed. In some examples, a system can detect a hardware error and identify a system component associated with the hardware error. The system can then generate a request configured to trigger an operating system of the system to place the system in a particular operating state. The particular operating state can be determined based on a component type of the system component. The particular operating state can be a first sleep state when the component type is a peripheral component or a second sleep state when the component type is a processor, a memory, or a power supply. The second sleep state can result in a lower power resource consumption than the first sleep state. The system can generate an indication that the system component can be replaced without restarting the operating system.

Abstract: A data management method and system for migrating a data volume from a source array to a destination array includes receiving an indication of a source volume to migrate from the source array to the destination array wherein the source volume comprises a clustered volume associated with a plurality of cluster hosts. A path-flip is performed by the host multipath module, to switch the paths between source and destination array. This switch is done in a seamless manner, without disrupting host I/O. The path-flip includes transferring associated metadata from source to destination and can be performed even in clustered and/or multi-host environments. Sanity timers are built-in to ensure that the path-flip completes within a stipulated time-frame and, if not, the path-flip process is aborted and I/O is resumed without any disruption.

Abstract: An application performance management system is disclosed. Operational elements are dynamically discovered and extended when changes occur. Programmatic knowledge is captured. Particular instances of operational elements are recognized after changes have been made using a fingerprint/signature process. Metrics and metadata associated with a monitored operational element are sent in a compressed form to a backend for analysis. Metrics and metadata from multiple similar systems may be used to adjust/create expert rules to be used in the analysis of the state of an operational element. A 3-D user interface with both physical and logical representations may be used to display the results of the performance management system.

Abstract: A storage subsystem comprises one or more volumes, and multiple nodes having multiple control packages interconnected via an intra-node communication path, wherein the control packages of different nodes are interconnected via an inter-node communication path having a lower transmission path capacity than the intra-node communication path. When the host computer accesses a volume, access is enabled via any of at least two or more control packages out of the multiple control packages, and the priority for issuing access requests to the relevant volume is determined in each of the control packages. When the storage subsystem detects failure, it changes the priorities determined for the control packages according to the failure occurrence portion, and notifies the same to the host computer. The host computer determines the control package being the issue destination of the access request based on the notified priority.
