  • Patent number: 9740520
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for virtual machine boot disk restoration may include (1) identifying a hypervisor that hosts at least one virtual machine, where a replication system is configured to replicate virtual machine data stored by the virtual machine, including a virtual machine boot disk used by the virtual machine, to a data repository that is separate from the hypervisor, (2) determining that the replication system is to restore the replicated virtual machine data back to the hypervisor for the virtual machine, including boot disk data replicated from the virtual machine boot disk, (3) attaching, at the hypervisor, the virtual machine boot disk to a storage proxy virtual machine hosted by the hypervisor, and (4) restoring, from the replication system and via the storage proxy virtual machine, the boot disk data back to the virtual machine boot disk. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9489230
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for performing clustering operations in distributed systems are disclosed. For example, one method involves performing a clustering operation that uses a virtual machine (VM). This VM is hosted by a first node. The method involves receiving an indication that indicates a migration of the virtual machine from the first node to a second node. The method also involves, in response to a receipt of this indication, suspending performance of the clustering operation using the virtual machine. The method can also involve resuming performance of the clustering operation using the virtual machine in response to receiving an indication of a successful migration of this virtual machine.

  • Patent number: 9195528
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing failover clusters. The method may include maintaining a failover cluster comprising first and second cluster nodes, identifying a first instance of a service group on the first cluster node, and initiating failover of the first cluster node to the second cluster node. The method may also include bringing at least a portion of a second instance of the service group online before taking the first instance of the service group completely offline. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7386664
    Abstract: A method and system for mirror storage element resynchronization in a storage virtualization device is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a read operation on a region of a data volume is received at a first module of a first storage virtualization device where the data volume is associated with at least a first mirror storage element and a second mirror storage element, a state indicated by a bit corresponding to the region of the data volume within a first synchronization map is determined in response to receiving the read operation, the read operation is processed using the first module if the bit is determined to indicate a first state and using a second module of the first storage virtualization device if the bit is determined to indicate a second state.
