Abstract: A management method for a cloud server for managing IP addresses hostnames, network topology mapping and task synchronization of cloud hosts. The cloud server assigns a temporary IP addresses to host for performing a system boot up and installation task upon a host starting to perform a system boot up and installation task. As the system boot up and the installation task at the host proceeds to a stage, the cloud server receives requests from hosts via a DNS inquiry instruction, and replying the mapping table of a hostnames and a fixed IP addresses to the host via a DNS answer.

Abstract: A system for managing topology of virtual machines (VMs) includes a base-information database, an information register processing unit, and a topology information database. The base-information database records internal information of all VMs of a cloud system. The information register processing unit monitors the base-information database for updating the internal information of the VMs to the topology information database. The topology information database mainly records a mapping between an alias name and a hostname of each VM, and also records a mapping between the hostname and IP address of each VM. The alias name of each VM is defined in accordance with the task assigned to the VM in the cloud system.

Abstract: A method of triggering a computational procedure for virtual machine migration includes receiving by a cloud server, reply connection data from a client end host, and determining if the computational procedure for virtual machine migration is initiated according to the reply connection data. The virtual machine migration is performed upon completion of the computational procedure. A browser intercepts the reply connection data to reply to the cloud server when the client end host accesses a web page via the browser. The reply connection data from the client end host is used for determining whether the computational procedure is initiated or not so as to lower a cloud server computation load by reducing the computational procedures performed.

Abstract: A method for connecting virtual machines in a cloud system is disclosed, wherein an agent network management service (Network management service, ANMS) process is used for communicating with all switches in the cloud system. When a virtual machine (VM) is created on one of the physical host in the cloud system, the ANMS detects the creation of the new VM, and confirms the virtual local area network (VLAN) the new VM pertained to. Next, determine a nearest boundary point from the new VM in the same VLAN for confirming a shortest connecting route. Lastly, the ANMS informing all switches in the shortest connecting route to set up internal VLAN tags such that new VM establish connection with other VMs in the same VLAN via the shortest connecting route.

Abstract: A cloud cluster system and a boot deployment method for the same are disclosed, wherein the cloud cluster system comprises a boot server, a management server, a system storage pool and at least one host. After the host is powered on, the host executes a network boot procedure according to a netboot policy. Next, the host connects to the system storage pool for accessing the corresponding root file system, and downloads the golden image from the boot server in order to complete the network boot procedure. After booted, the host is deployed by the management server. The management server enables the corresponding content of the host according to configurations thus the deployed host acting as the corresponding role in a cloud cluster system.

Abstract: A cloud system and boot deployment method is provided to offer flexible and rapid host allocation and operating environment deployment. The cloud system comprises a boot server, a storage machine and a host. The required data for the boot deployment procedure is saved in the storage machine in advance. When the host is assigned the boot operation, a user makes a boot request via the management interface of the boot server to the host. The boot server sets up or transfers the file system according to user request and accesses corresponding images and root file system in the storage machine for performing the boot deployment procedure on the host. When there are different application service requests, the boot server respectively applied shared or proprietary images and root file systems for executing boot deployment operations according to each application request.

Abstract: A cloud system and a method for monitoring and handling abnormal states of physical machines in the cloud system are disclosed. Each physical machine of the cloud system respectively executes a daemon program for monitoring operation states of the physical machine and providing the operation states to a management terminal in the cloud system. When the management terminal determines that any physical machine is having abnormal operation states, the management terminal provides a control instruction to the cabinet of the physical machine having abnormal operation states. The physical machine having abnormal operation states is compulsorily ejected from the cabinet. Thus, it is convenient to the administrator when replacing the physical machine having abnormal operation states onsite by shortening the time looking for the faulted physical machine.
