Publication number: 20230342181Abstract: An image of a virtualization software and firmware in a plurality of hosts are upgraded by: retrieving metadata of a base image based on a first input that specifies a version of the base image, metadata of an add-on image based on a second input that specifies a server of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in which the virtualization software is to be installed, and metadata of drivers and agents based on a third input that specifies a firmware package for the server of the OEM; validating a desired image of the virtualization software by extracting dependencies and conflicts defined in metadata of all payloads of the desired image of the virtualization software, and confirming there are no violations of the extracted dependencies and conflicts; and upgrading the current image of the virtualization software to the desired image and upgrading the current version of the firmware to the desired version.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Aravinda Haryadi, Patrick William Penzias Dirks, Naga Ullas Vankayala Harinathagupta, Ashish Kaila, Mukund Gunti, Suresh Sundriyal

Patent number: 11720386Abstract: An image of a virtualization software and firmware in a plurality of hosts are upgraded by performing the steps of: validating a desired image of the virtualization software by extracting dependencies and conflicts defined in metadata of all payloads of the desired image of the virtualization software, and confirming there are no violations of the extracted dependencies and conflicts; performing a pre-check of the desired image of the virtualization software against a current image of the virtualization software and a pre-check of the desired version of the firmware against a current version of the firmware; and upon determining from results of the pre-check that the virtualization software can be upgraded to the desired image and the firmware can be upgraded to the desired version, upgrading the current image of the virtualization software to the desired image and upgrading the current version of the firmware to the desired version.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Aravinda Haryadi, Patrick William Penzias Dirks, Naga Ullas Vankayala Harinathagupta, Ashish Kaila, Mukund Gunti, Suresh Sundriyal

Publication number: 20230004413Abstract: An example method of hypervisor lifecycle management in a virtualized computing system having a cluster of hosts is described. The method includes: obtaining, by remediation software executing in a host of the hosts, a host state document from a distributed key-value store, the host state document defining a desired state of software in the host, the software including a hypervisor; and performing, by the remediation software in coordination with other hosts of the hosts through the distributed key-value store, a lifecycle operation on the software of the host in response to determining that a current state of the software does not match the desired state.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2021Publication date: January 5, 2023Inventors: Ashish KAILA, Suresh SUNDRIYAL, Mukund GUNTI

Patent number: 10432610Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for automated monitoring certificate expiration, automatically periodically accessing a plurality of computing nodes in a computing system for certificate expiration of a certificate of the plurality of computing nodes. The automatically periodically accessing is provided by a central management tool of the computing system. Automatically determining the certificate of the plurality of computing nodes has an impending certificate expiration by the central management tool of said computing system. In response to the determining, automatically generating an alert, by the central management tool, that indicates the impending certificate expiration of the certificate.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Mukund Gunti, Kalyan Ram Chintalapati, Suresh Sundriyal, Tushar Thole, Swapnil Daingade, Sridhar T Reddy, Anu Engineer, Ratnadeep Bhattacharjee

Patent number: 10044511Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for automated provisioning a certificate in a computing system a certificate signing request is accessed from a computing node by a centralized management tool of the computing system. The certificate signing request is provided to a certificate authority by the centralized management tool. A signed certificate is accessed from the certificate authority for the computing node. The signed certificate is provided to the computing node, by the centralized management tool, such that there is automated provisioning of the signed certificate at the computing node to establish trust of the computing node in the computing system.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Mukund Gunti, Kalyan Ram Chintalapati, Suresh Sundriyal, Tushar Thole, Swapnil Daingade, Sridhar T Reddy, Anu Engineer, Patrick William Penzias Dirks, Ratnadeep Bhattacharjee
