Abstract: Systems and methods for managing reactive power during low voltage ride through are provided. Responsive to detecting a fault on a power grid, a controller may identify a power regulation mode of the generator system. The controller can switch the power regulation mode to an offset power regulation mode of the generator system responsive to identifying the power regulation mode. The controller may adjust a value of a parameter of the generator system from a normal value to an offset value, wherein the parameter is selected based on the offset power regulation mode. The controller can maintain the value of the parameter as the offset value for a period of time. After the period of time, the controller can modify the value of the parameter from the offset value to the normal value, and the power regulation mode from the offset power regulation mode to the identified power regulation mode.

Abstract: The present teaching is directed to clustering with denoising capability and its use in network capacity planning. Data samples with attributes of network elements and respective key performance indicators are first clustered to obtain initial clusters. Each initial cluster is hierarchically clustered to generate subclusters, each of which is detected as a pure or an impure subcluster based on some criterion. Each impure subcluster is denoised based on a situation detected, with some samples merged with a corresponding pure subcluster, some bootstrapped using additional data samples with consistent properties, and some removed if additional data sample with consistent properties is not available. The denoising is iteratively performed until a denoising criterion is satisfied to obtain denoised clusters corresponding to clusters of network elements. Actions may be performed on the network elements according to their corresponding denoised clusters.

Abstract: A data protection agent is installed within a virtual machine (VM). A request to freeze an application in the VM is issued to a copy service. A request for a snapshot is issued to a snapshot data mover, external to the VM. Upon receiving an identifier for the snapshot, communications are exchanged with the copy service to thaw the application, the snapshot identifier is passed to the agent thereby allowing the agent to access the snapshot and rollover data from the snapshot to secondary storage for the backup, and notification to the copy service about a success of the backup is withheld. During the rollover, listening begins for status updates concerning a progress of the rollover. Based on the status updates, the copy service is notified that the backup failed or succeeded.

Abstract: Indexing preferences generally associate each data source with a type of indexing technology and/or with an index/catalog and/or with a computing device that hosts the index/catalog for tracking backup data generated from the source data. Indexing preferences govern which index/catalog receives transaction logs for a given storage operation. Thus, indexing destinations are defined granularly and flexibly in reference to the source data. Load balancing without user intervention assures that the various index/catalogs are fairly distributed in the illustrative backup systems by autonomously initiating migration jobs. Criteria for initiating migration jobs are based on past usage and going-forward trends. An illustrative migration job re-associates data sources with a different destination media agent and/or index/catalog, including transferring some or all relevant transaction logs and/or indexing information from the old host to the new host.
