Abstract: A system and method for updating a component of a virtual computing system in a hyperconverged system includes installing, by a processor executing computer-readable instructions stored on a memory of a lifecycle manager of the virtual computing system, a software package on a node of the virtual computing system for updating the component of the virtual computing system, and booting, by the processor, the component into an update environment based on the software package. The software package decouples a dependency of the lifecycle manager on the update environment. The system and method also include updating, by the processor, the component in the update environment and booting, by the processor, the component out of the update environment into an operating environment upon completion of the update of the component.

Abstract: A hyper-converged computing system may include multiple computing nodes and a power management system. Each computing node may have a processor operating at a power state. Each computing node may receive a power budget from the power management system, determine an instant power consumption in the node and determine whether the instant power consumption is approaching the power budget. If the instant power consumption is approaching the power budget, the computing node may adjust the power consumption of the node. The power management system may determine an initial power budget rule for each computing node and transmit the initial power budget rule to each respective computing node. The power management system may also obtain various provisioning and status from the multiple computing nodes and use the provisioning and status to update the power budget rules for each respective computing node.
