Abstract: A method of managing a virtual machine (VM) image for deployment of the VM across a plurality of software-defined data centers (SDDCs) includes the steps of: separately uploading parts of the VM image to a cloud storage, forming a complete image of the VM from the separately uploaded parts of the VM image, and downloading from the cloud storage the complete VM image to each of the SDDCs in which the VM is to be deployed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a hardware solution where a reset monitor in an integrated circuit detects and reports unintentional resets. A glitch in a reset path can cause a logic block to initiate an undesired or unintentional reset. As a result, the local circuitry in the logic block resets which causes them to lose data and their current state. In the embodiments herein, the reset monitor can monitor the reset signals generated within the logic blocks in the circuit. The reset monitor can compare these reset signals to golden copies of the resets signals generated by the reset generator. If a reset signal generated within a logic block does not match the corresponding golden copy of the reset signal, the reset monitor determines that an unintentional reset has occurred.
