Abstract: Availability zone and region recovery are described. For an availability zone (AZ), a recovery availability zone (rAZ) may be identified based on available computing capacity of the recovery availability zone and geographic proximity of the availability zone relative to the recovery availability zone. In an instance in which the availability zone is impacted in which at least one of hardware and software of the availability zone is not fully operational, a virtual private cloud (VPC) is generated that establishes a peered connection between the availability zone and the recovery availability zone. A service is executed in the recovery availability zone, permitting any other services executing in the availability zone to invoke the service and become partially or fully operational.

A plurality of predetermined compatibility tests are implemented on the first component and results of the plurality of compatibility tests are recorded in a predetermined database of records shared amongst the multi-component system. A record associated with the first component indicates a compatibility of the unknown software version and/or unknown firmware version with the multi-component system. In response to a determination that the record indicates that the unknown software version and/or unknown firmware version is compatible with the multi-component system, data processing is performed between the first component and a second component.

Abstract: Embodiments include in response to monitoring a processor during operation, detecting a first number of core recovery events in the processor, determining that the first number of core recovery events fulfills a first condition for the first core recovery events threshold, and modifying a value of at least one droop sensor parameter of the processor by a first amount. The at least one droop sensor parameters affects a sensitivity to a voltage droop. In response to modifying the value of the droop sensor parameter by the first amount, a second number of core recovery events is detected in the processor. It is determined that the second number of core recovery events fulfills a second condition for a second core recovery events threshold, and the value of the at least one droop sensor parameter is modified by a second amount.

Abstract: A method for more effectively recording information in system logs is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes detecting errors on a system such as a host system or storage system over a specified period of time. The method stores information associated with the errors in a memory buffer. The method further preprocesses the information in the memory buffer to condense the information and remove duplication. In certain embodiments, this preprocessing includes grouping errors by error type and providing a single stack trace or other information per error type. The method then outputs the preprocessed information to a log file. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A portable, self-contained data mover container with all required packages for data management, and which can be hosted on a physical host, VM, cloud or appliance, such as a storage array. The data mover container protects multiple workloads such as NAS, native OS filesystem, applications, and so on. An automated process spins up and tears down containers without any impact on the host. If a container fails to run on a host if desired resources are not available, it automatically runs on other hosts for same data set. Minimal user intervention to achieve scale and performance is required, as the system automatically computes the desired number of containers required depending upon dataset and available resources. Containers can be patched and upgraded independently on a host without making any change to the hosting environment.

Abstract: A method of recovering a storage device from a failure mode by a controller, the method comprising executing a boot up of the storage device, determining whether an instruction for pseudo boot up of the storage device has been received, switching from the boot up to a pseudo boot up of the storage device if an instruction for the pseudo boot up has been received, and resuming operation of the storage device from the prior operational state. The pseudo boot up restores the storage device to a prior operational state up to the point in time when the storage device encountered a failure triggering event that caused the storage device to enter the failure mode.

Abstract: A fault detecting multi-thread pipeline processor with fault detection is operative with a single pipeline stage which generates branch status comprising at least one of branch taken/not_taken, branch direction, and branch target. A first thread has control and data instructions, the control instructions comprising loop instructions including unconditional and conditional branch instructions, loop initialization instructions, loop arithmetic instructions, and no operation (NOP) instructions. A second thread has only control instructions and either has the non-control instructions replaced with NOP instructions, or removed entirely. A fault detector compares the branch status of the first thread and second thread and asserts a fault output when they do not match.

Abstract: A controller used in a computing device executes the following steps. When a security profile stored in a storage device is successfully verified, according to a security profile configuration stored in the controller, an operation mode described in the security profile is used.
