Abstract: Techniques for effective delete operations in a distributed data store with eventually consistent replicated entries include determining to delete a particular entry from the distributed data store. Each entry includes a first field that holds data that indicates a key and a second field that holds data that indicates content associated with the key and a third field that holds data that indicates a version for the content. The method also comprises causing, at least in part, actions that result in marking the particular entry as deleted without removing the particular entry, and updating a version in the third field for the particular entry.

Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for managing an object are disclosed. In an embodiment, this comprises managing an object having content, in a system having a dynamic policy selector configured with at least one analytic policy applied to evaluate the content of the object. The object is associated to an information management policy. Classification levels may be used, in which classification levels are associated to information management policies and objects are associated with classification levels. Objects containing certain elements or related elements may be associated to form an information group, to which information management policies may be applied as a group. Storage pools may be used for managing objects with similar classification levels or information protection policies.

Abstract: A system and method for managing resource groups in a computer system having automatic availability capability is shown. In one embodiment, a method is provided which may be performed in a computer system comprising a plurality of resources, a monitor for monitoring the plurality of resources, a first computer comprising at least one of the plurality of resources, and a second computer connected to the first computer by at least one communication medium. The method, performed by an administrator, comprises configuring a resource group that comprises the at least one of the plurality of resources via the second computer, without the administrator logging into the first computer.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for managing resource groups in a computer system having an automatic availability capability. In one embodiment, a method is provided which may be performed in a computer system comprising a plurality of resources, a monitor for monitoring at least some of the plurality of resources, an agent to configure resource groups, each resource group specifying a group of resources to be monitored by the monitor, and a graphical user interface (GUI) that communicates with the monitor and provides an interface for a user to monitor a resource group. The method comprises: (A) providing, via the GUI, customized presentations to the user for monitoring resource groups of different types so that the GUI provides different presentations to the user in monitoring different types of resource groups.

In one embodiment, a method is provided which may be performed in a computer system comprising a plurality of resources, a monitor for monitoring at least some of the plurality of resources, and an agent to configure resource groups, each resource group specifying a group of resources to be monitored by the monitor. The method comprises: (A) receiving a request from a requestor, at the agent, to configure at least one requested resource group; and (B) determining whether at least one characteristic of the at least one requested resource group is valid.
