Abstract: Systems and methods include negotiating a primary bias state for primary and secondary storage sites when a mediator is temporarily unavailable for a multi-site distributed storage system. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises detecting, with the primary storage site having a primary storage cluster, a temporary loss of connectivity to a mediator or a failure of the mediator. The computer-implemented method includes negotiating the primary bias state and setting the primary bias state on a secondary storage cluster of the secondary storage site when the secondary storage cluster detects a temporary loss of connectivity to the mediator, determining whether the primary storage cluster receives a confirmation of the secondary storage cluster setting the primary bias state, and setting the primary bias state on the primary storage cluster when the primary storage cluster receives the confirmation.

Abstract: According to an example, a computer-implemented method comprises initiating a first process for atomically setting the primary bias state with a first node of a primary storage cluster of a multi-site distributed storage system due to a temporary loss of connectivity to a mediator or a temporary mediator failure, releasing an atomic lock for the first process on the first node of the primary storage cluster, sending the first process and an associated first generation indicator to a first node of a secondary storage cluster of the multi-site distributed storage system to handle the first process for setting the primary bias state, and initiating a second process for atomically clearing a primary bias state with the first node or any node of the primary storage cluster based on detecting a connection to the mediator or detecting that the mediator is available.

Abstract: Various embodiments for providing a user interface test and validation system are described herein. An embodiment operates by determining user interface (UI) settings and metadata, and fetching data corresponding to the metadata. A plurality of test procedures corresponding to the UI element are identified. A plurality of states to be present in a rendering of the UI element based on the plurality of test procedures, the metadata, and the data are identified. A rendering of the UI element is validated against the plurality of states. A test report is provided based on the validating.
