Abstract: Managing virtual network ports on a physical server to provide a virtual server access to a group of storage resources through a network. A storage access group representing a group of storage resources is generated. A virtual server is generated on a hypervisor executed on the physical server. Access to the network is activated for the virtual server. A management console is provided for creating and managing the storage access group providing access to the group of storage resources for the virtual server from one or more physical servers. The management console includes a virtual server management facility and a storage access group facility. The virtual server management facility allows for managing virtual server definitions and activating, deactivating, and migrating virtual servers. The storage access group facility allows for managing virtual network port descriptions, administrating network port names, and creating, activating and deactivating virtual network ports.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, carried out by one or more processors, for managing resources in a server environment. The method includes determining, by one or more processors, to shut down a first resource consumer, wherein the first resource consumer is assigned a first virtual resource with a first set of one or more host resources. It is determined, by one or more processors, whether a second virtual resource assigned to a second resource consumer requires the first set of one or more host resources. If the second virtual resource assigned to the second resource consumer does not require the first set of one or more host resources, it is determined, by one or more processors, not to deactivate the one or more host resources assigned to the first virtual resource.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to managing access to a database. A computer system for managing access to a database is provided. The computer system comprises a memory having computer readable instructions and a processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions. The instructions comprise determining that the database is in a size-managed state. The instructions further comprise denying access to the database based on determining that a received database command is for increasing a size of the database. The instructions further comprise allowing access to the database according to the received database command based on determining that the received database command is not for increasing the size of the database.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for composing a virtualized computing environment. Specifically, under the present invention, data and a definition file that contains application runtime requirements for the data are stored on a portable memory device. Application runtime requirements can be anything related to an environment in which the data was previously used. When the portable memory device is received in a computerized device, an auto-insert script can be executed that signals a provisioning system and/or transports the definition file to the provisioning system. The provisioning system will then interpret the definition file on the computerized device to retrieve the application runtime requirements. Then, the virtualized computing environment will be composed by adapting an environment of the computerized device according to the application runtime requirements retrieved from the definition file.
