Publication number: 20240004766Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for selection of a witness during virtualization system recovery after a disaster event. A recovery plan is configured to identify a witness that is then used to elect a leader to implement the recovery. Various system, and/or network, and/or component failures and/or various loss of function of components of the virtualization system can trigger initiation of the recovery plan. Based on the particular recovery plan that is invoked upon a determination of a network outage, or component failure or loss of function of a component of the virtualization system, a particular witness corresponding to a subset of entities of the particular recovery plan is selected. The witness is used to elect the leader, and the leader initiates actions of the recovery plan. The implementation of the recovery plan includes consideration of the health of components that would potentially be involved in the recovery actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Ankush JINDAL, Kiran TATIPARTHI, Sharad MAHESHWARI, Shubham GUPTA, Bharat Kumar BEEDU

Patent number: 11853177Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for data protection across computing infrastructure comprising a plurality of geographically distant computing clusters. The geographically distant computing clusters form a distributed system comprising clusters that are assigned into availability zones. Disaster recovery policies are maintained in each of the availability zones. A first cluster detects a modification of a disaster recovery policy. The modification of the disaster recovery policy that occurred at the first cluster is to be communicated over a wide area network. Synchronization of the disaster recovery policy is accomplished by carrying out a peer-to-peer communication protocol over the wide area network.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Bharat Kumar Beedu, Ganesh Sahukari, Nikhil Loya, Sharad Maheshwari

Patent number: 11768743Abstract: A system and method include migrating, by a migration controller, a first entity of a first subset of entities from a source site to a target site in a virtual computing system based on an asynchronous mode of replication. The system and method also include replicating, by the migration controller, data of a second entity of a second subset of entities from the source site to the target site based on a synchronous mode of replication in parallel with the migration of the first entity for dynamically adjusting a recovery time objective parameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Kiran Tatiparthi, Ankush Jindal, Monil Devang Shah, Mukul Sharma, Shubham Gupta, Sharad Maheshwari, Kilol Surjan
