Abstract: A method for deploying product applications within virtual machines onto on-premises and public cloud infrastructures. Specifically, the disclosed method proposes a migration scheme of virtual machine images (configured at least with product applications and guest operating systems) from an on-premises infrastructure to a public cloud infrastructure. Further, the migration scheme considers two workflows—a normal workflow contingent on the public cloud infrastructure having up-to-date support for the guest operating systems; and an exception workflow contingent on the public cloud infrastructure lacking up-to-date support for the guest operating systems.

Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for data management is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for performing, on data, a first management operation related to a first storage device, the request indicating a type of the data. The method further includes determining a first service associated with the type of the data and enabling the first service to perform the first management operation on the data. Thus, resource consumption of a data manager at runtime may be substantially reduced, which saves resources to reduce operating cost of the data manager, and improves the user experience of users who use the data manager.

Abstract: Described is a system for preventing unauthorized access to an upgrade implementation module while an authentication-authorization service is offline. Various embodiments of the upgrade implementation module record an upgrade token generated by a system manager. The upgrade implementation module sets an authentication-authorization service to an offline mode. The upgrade implementation module determines a match between a received upgrade token and the recorded upgrade token in order to prevent unauthorized access of the upgrade implementation module. In response to determining the match, the upgrade implementation module authorizes implementation of an upgrade package associated with the upgrade token while the authentication-authorization service is in the offline mode.

Abstract: A data protection application creates backups of assets. Each asset is mapped in a directory service to one or more asset owners. The directory service is separate from the data protection application. A search query from a user seeking to search the backups is received at the data protection application. The directory service is consulted to identify assets having the user as an asset owner. A search filter is generated including a list of the identified assets. The search filter is applied to the search query to exclude from a search result backups of assets not having the user as the asset owner. The search result is returned to the user, the search result thereby including backups of assets having the user as an asset owner and excluding other backups of other assets not having the user as the asset owner.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a dynamic upgrade prediction. The prediction includes generating an initial upgrade prediction for an upgrade to be performed on a subset of component nodes; performing a real time progress review, using a centralized management node, of the upgrade, wherein each of the component nodes includes a number of stages; performing an upgrade duration comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and a real time upgrade time for a subset of the stages; and generating an updated upgrade prediction for the multi-component product upgrade based on the comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and the real time upgrade time.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, one or more consistent states of a virtual machine (VM) are backed up and stored. An index library is used to extract, from the consistent state(s) of the VM, metadata corresponding to content files captured in the consistent state(s). The extracted metadata is stored into a metadata catalog, where the metadata catalog is subsequently downloaded by an index server to index the content files captured in the consistent state(s).

Abstract: An application is provided as a compound virtual appliance having components to be hosted by virtual machines. Each component includes a set of virtual machine disks. Partial versions of the components are created by removing from each component each virtual machine disk determined to be a duplicate of a virtual machine disk of another component. A compact version of the compound virtual appliance is created by packing together the partial versions of the components and a single copy of each virtual machine disk having been determined to be a duplicate. The compact compound virtual appliance is deployed to a customer site. At the customer site, a complete version of the compound virtual appliance is reconstructed by adding back the single copy of each virtual machine disk having been determined to be a duplicate into each component having had the duplicate virtual machine disk removed.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for generating a virtual machine (VM) installation file to deploy a VM in different cloud environments is disclosed. A file system table (FSTAB) representing a file system of the VM to be deployed is generated. The FSTAB includes one or more predetermined universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) identifying one or more dummy VM disks. Then, a first VM installation file based on the FSTAB and one or more dummy VM disk files corresponding to the dummy VM disks is generated. Next, one or more real VM disk files representing one or more real VM disks to be deployed in the cloud environments are created. Thereafter, the dummy disk files in the first VM installation file are replaced with the corresponding real VM disk files to generate a second VM installation file. The second VM installation is used to deploy VM in different cloud environments.
