Abstract: Techniques for error detection involve injecting, to a switch of a storage system, information representing an error of at least one device to be tested of the system, such that the information representing the error is passed from an upstream port of the switch to a computing device connected with the switch, the switch being connected to the at least one device to be tested via a downstream port. The techniques further involve obtaining a handling result of the computing device on the information representing the error, and determining an error handling capability of the system at least partly by analyzing the handling result. Accordingly, slave storage devices of storage system nodes, connectors, the entire PCIe topology at the CPU level, and an NVMe bus can be tested, so that the entire logical path of the error handling can be tested, thereby improving performance and saving testing costs.

Abstract: Responsive to determining that a step in an interaction sequence has below a threshold similarity to any step in a set of log sequences, a first log entry is caused to be generated. The first log entry is emitted responsive to execution of the step in the interaction sequence by the software application. Responsive to determining that a starting key action lacks a corresponding ending key action, a second log entry is caused to be generated. The second log entry is emitted responsive to execution of code related to the corresponding ending key action by the software application. Responsive to determining, using a trained anomaly detection model, that a keyword related to an injected fault is not present in resulting fault log data, a third log entry is generated. The third log entry is emitted responsive to execution of code related to the keyword by the software application.

A data protection scheme to be applied at a storage node computing device level is determined and a plurality of storage node computing devices are identified based on an application of the ILM policy to metadata received from one of the storage node computing devices and associated with an object ingested by the one of the storage node computing devices. The one of the storage node computing devices is instructed to generate one or more copies of the object or fragments of the object according to the data protection scheme and to distribute the object copies or one of the object fragments to one or more other of the storage node computing devices to be stored by at least the one or more other storage node computing devices on one or more disk storage devices.

Abstract: A failure of a first memory access operation is detected at a memory device. Responsive to the detection, a first error control operation and a second error control operation are performed. In response to a determination that the second error control operation has remedied the failed first memory access operation, the second error control operation is associated with a second priority which is higher than a first priority associated with the first error control operation.

Abstract: A backup policy including user-configured options for backing up a cluster of virtual machines is reviewed. Configuration details for the cluster is obtained from a virtual machine manager of the cluster. An evaluation is made as to whether host-level data movers that run inside hypervisors of hosts of the cluster support the user-configured options in the backup policy and the configuration details of the cluster. If the host-level data movers are supported, the host-level data movers are installed into the hypervisors running on the hosts of the cluster. If the host-level data movers are not supported, one or more of in-guest data movers that run as guests inside the virtual machines to be backed up or backup proxy data movers that run as separate virtual machines and outside the virtual machines to be backed up are provisioned.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for synchronous replication. For example, synchronous replication relationships are established between a first storage object (e.g., a file, a logical unit number (LUN), a consistency group, etc.), hosted by a first storage controller, and a plurality of replication storage objects hosted by other storage controllers. In this way, a write operation to the first storage object is implemented in parallel upon the first storage object and the replication storage objects in a synchronous manner, such as using a zero-copy operation to reduce overhead otherwise introduced by performing copy operations. Reconciliation is performed in response to a failure so that the first storage object and the replication storage objects comprise consistent data. Failed write operations and replication write operations are retried, while enforcing a single write semantic.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a memory device with status feedback for error correction are described. For example, during a read operation, a memory device may perform an error correction operation on first data read from a memory array of the memory device. The error correction operation may generate second data and an indicator of a state of error corresponding to the second data. In one example, the indicator may indicate one of multiple possible states of error. In another example, the indicator may indicate a corrected error or no detectable error. The memory device may output the first or second data and the indicator of the state of error during a same burst interval. The memory device may output the data on a first channel and the indicator of the state of error on a second channel.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a detection unit and first and second classification units. The detection unit detects an event which causes a state of at least one bank constituting dynamic random access memory (DRAM) to transition. The first classification unit classifies the at least one bank state based on the detected event. The second classification unit classifies a DRAM state based on the at least one bank state. Statistical information that is based on the at least one bank or DRAM state is displayed with respect to a predetermined unit time. The at least one bank state and the DRAM state each includes at least one of the following: an operating state, in which data is being transferred, an inoperative state, in which data transfer is not possible due to a predetermined constraint, or a pause state, in which, although there is no constraint, data is not being transferred.

Abstract: Examples described herein are generally directed to backing up and restoring of container clusters. According to an example, the conventional tight coupling between namespaces and tenants is eliminated by providing within a container platform a tenant abstraction for each tenant of the container platform that shares resources of a container cluster. The tenant abstraction for a given tenant includes information indicative of a subset of namespaces of the container cluster assigned to the given tenant. Responsive to receipt via a user interface of the container platform of a request to backup a particular tenant of the container platform: the container platform determines the subset of namespaces assigned to the particular tenant; and for each namespace, causes a namespace-level backup/recovery tool to backup object data for the namespace within a backup location, and backup data associated with persistent volume claims for each unit of cluster replication within the namespace.
