Abstract: A distributed system, such as a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment and having storage nodes arranged in a cluster, is provided with capability by a management server to detect mutually exclusive features. If a feature being requested for installation is detected as being a mutually exclusive feature by using a first table, the management server searches for the feature in second table. If the feature is located in the second table and if the feature meets a condition for interoperability specified by the second table, then the management server proceeds with serving the request by installing the feature in the distributed storage system. Else, the management server rejects the request.

Abstract: A pairing method and a device. The method is applied to first user equipment, and the first user equipment belongs to a cluster including at least two pieces of user equipment. Each piece of user equipment in the cluster stores first information, and the first information includes a pairing credential and identification information of a first accessory device that has been successfully paired with any piece of user equipment in the cluster. The method includes: detecting a second accessory device, where the second accessory device is an accessory device that has not been successfully paired with any piece of user equipment in the cluster; and pairing with and establishing a connection to the second accessory device based on the pairing credential and synchronizing identification information of the second accessory device to all user equipment in the cluster.

Abstract: Architectures for computing clusters with enhanced scalability and fault isolation capabilities are described. The enhanced capabilities are enabled by partitioning hosts of the clusters into multiple storage domains of the cluster. Each of the hosts includes processing and storage resources. The resources are logically partitioned into a processing layer and a storage layer of the cluster. The processing layer includes a virtualized processing resource for each of the storage domains. The storage layer includes a virtualized datastore for each of the storage domains. The processing layer provides users with access to virtualized machines (VMs). The storage layer provides the VMs with access to virtualized datastores of the associated storage domain. The aggregated resources of the host computing devices within the cluster may be employed to instantiate the processing layer and the storage layer of the cluster.

Abstract: Methods for controlling a robot system. In the method, a robot program for controlling a motion path of the robot system is imported, the motion path is used for processing a first workpiece into a second workpiece, and the robot program includes a variable for representing a parameter for controlling a feature of the motion path. A user of the robot system is provided with an interface for controlling the robot system. The robot program is updated based on an input from the user for adjusting the parameter. Further, embodiments of present disclosure provide corresponding apparatuses, systems and media for controlling a robot system, and methods, apparatuses, systems, and media for generating a robot program. With these embodiments, the robot program may be adjusted at an online side without a need to return to an offline programming tool for updating the robot program.

Abstract: An example method to deploy a web client plugin in a virtualized computing environment may include obtaining information identifying a virtual machine at a management entity and generating configuration information that includes the information identifying the virtual machine. The method may further include registering, with the management entity, the configuration information to deploy the web client plugin as a web client extension. The registration is performed such that, in response to an access to the virtual machine via the web client plugin, the web client plugin is able to automatically identify the virtual machine based on the configuration information.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system creates a first template VM that includes a first OS VMDK and a first software binary VMDK, and clones the first template VM to create a linked clone VM. The linked clone VM executes a guest OS by accessing the first OS VMDK and a software application by accessing the first software binary VMDK. The computer system further creates a second template VM that includes a second software binary VMDK, where the second software binary VMDK includes one or more upgrades to the software application that are not included in the first software binary VMDK. The computer system then detaches the first software binary VMDK from the linked clone VM and attaches the second software binary VMDK to the linked clone VM. The linked clone VM thereafter executes the software application by accessing the second software binary VMDK.
