Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for enabling network statistics to be collected per software partition. When an incoming data packet is received at the Internet Protocol (IP) layer of an operating system, the IP address in the incoming data packet is identified. The IP address in the incoming data packet is then compared against IP addresses stored in a hash table, wherein the hash table maps each IP address in the hash table to a software partition of the operating system. If an IP address in the hash table matches the IP address in the data packet, the software partition mapped to the located IP address in the hash table is identified. Network statistics collected for the incoming data packet are then associated with the software partition.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for managing hosted virtualized operating system environments are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An instruction for an operation is received at a hosted virtual operating system environment. A server that is hosting the hosted virtual operating system environment is identified. The instruction is directed to the server to achieve the operation at the hosted virtual operating system environment. The instruction may be received at a network management component that may be in communication with the server and may interact with the server to instantiate the hosted virtual operating system environment. The server may be identified using a mapping information that may contain information about hosting relationships between a set of hosted virtual operating system environments and a set of servers. The instruction may be transformed to be executable on the server to achieve the operation at the hosted virtual operating system environment.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for storing data into two incompatibly formatted storage systems are provided. When a data is to be stored, it is first determined whether the data is to be stored into the two incompatibly formatted storage systems which are each being managed by a logical volume manager (LVM). If so, the data is forwarded to the two storage systems. In a particular embodiment, when the data is to be stored, one of the two LVMs determines whether the data is to be stored into the two storage systems. If so determined, the LVM that has made the determination passes a copy of the data to the other LVM. The two LVMs then ensure that the data is appropriately stored. When data is to be read from an incompatible storage system, the first LVM will request the data from the second LVM, when the data is received, the first LVM converts the data into an understandable format before the data is used.
