Abstract: A mechanism is provided for searching a virtual resource in a large scale computing system environment. The virtual resource is deployed on at least one server. Each server is coupled to a sensor and communicates with the sensor. The sensors communicate with each other and consist of a communication network. Each sensor stores an identifier of a virtual resource deployed in a server connected with the sensor and the location information of the sensor itself. The mechanism receives a searching request for a virtual resource by the at least one sensor, the searching request containing an identifier of the virtual resource being searched; forwards the searching request in the communication network of the sensors; and returns a location information of a sensor storing the identifier of the virtual resource by the sensor itself.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for solution provisioning includes establishing a provisioning task, and obtaining a provisioning image for the provisioning task from a hardware memory. A provisioning implementer is configured based on the obtained provisioning image. The provisioning image comprises configuration information used for executing installation, scripts for executing installation, and information for mapping the configuration information to the scripts. In another embodiment, an apparatus for solution provisioning includes a hardware processor, and a task manager running on the hardware processor. The task manager is configured to establish a provisioning task and obtain a provisioning image for the provisioning task. The task manager configures a provisioning implementer based on the provisioning image obtained.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, an accelerator hardware unit, and an article of manufacture for supporting virtual machine migration. The method includes: acquiring a task request from a task queue of an accelerator hardware unit; extracting identification information of a related virtual machine from the task request; determining whether the identification information of the related virtual machine matches the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated, where the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated is recorded in a virtual machine identification information table; and deleting the task request from the task queue if the extracted identification information matches the identification information of a virtual machine to be migrated.
