A storage device including a migration source logical volume of an application copies data stored in the logical volume into a migration destination logical volume of the application. After the copy process is started, the storage device stores data written into the migration source logical volume as differential data without storing the data into the migration source logical volume. When the copy process is completed for the data stored in the migration source logical volume, a management computer starts copying of the differential data, and in a time interval after the copying of the data stored in the migration source logical volume is completed but before the copying of the differential data is completed, a computer being a migration destination of the application is turned ON, thereby reducing power consumption at the time of application migration.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to automatically replicate virtual machine image (VM) files on secondary VM computing devices, from a primary VM computing device. The secondary VM computing devices are automatically selected by constantly reviewing the operating parameter values (e.g., cost of resources, power consumption, etc.) of a number of secondary VM computing devices available of storing VM image replicas. The replica of the primary VM image is stored in the secondary VM computing devices in geographically disparate cloud locations. The primary VM image is automatically broken into constituent data blocks stored in an active index, which is compared against a stale index of data blocks. When an update is detected in the primary VM image, the comparison of indices will indicate that there is new data. Only the new data is used to update the secondary VM images, thereby reducing network traffic and latency issues.

Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Enhancements for Shared Logical Partitions

Автор: Mark R. Funk, Mysore S. Srinivas, Randal C. Swanberg, Ronald D. Young, Steven R. Kunkel, Vaijayanthimala K. Anand

Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

In a NUMA-topology computer system that includes multiple nodes and multiple logical partitions, some of which may be dedicated and others of which are shared, NUMA optimizations are enabled in shared logical partitions. This is done by specifying a home node parameter in each virtual processor assigned to a logical partition. When a task is created by an operating system in a shared logical partition, a home node is assigned to the task, and the operating system attempts to assign the task to a virtual processor that has a home node that matches the home node for the task. The partition manager then attempts to assign virtual processors to their corresponding home nodes. If this can be done, NUMA optimizations may be performed without the risk of reducing the performance of the shared logical partition.

Multiple machine state registers are included in a processor core to permit distinction between use of hardware facilities by applications, supervisory threads and the hypervisor. All facilities are initially disabled by the hypervisor when a partition is initialized. When any access is made to a disabled facility, the hypervisor receives an indication of which facility was accessed and sets a corresponding hardware flag in the hypervisor's machine state register. When an application attempts to access a disabled facility, the supervisor managing the operating system image receives an indication of which facility was accessed and sets a corresponding hardware flag in the supervisor's machine state register. The multiple register implementation permits the supervisor to determine whether particular hardware facilities need to have their state saved when an application context swap occurs and the hypervisor can determine which hardware facilities need to have their state saved when a partition swap occurs.

Scalable scheduling for distributed data processing

Номер: US20130151707A1

Автор: Eric Boutin, James C. Finger, Pavel Yatsuk

Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

A multi-tier scheduling approach includes a first tier comprising virtual cluster allocators that receive scheduling requests from processes and aggregate those requests and provide them to a second tier, namely a single resource distributor for the entire set of computing devices. The resource distributor, based on the requests from virtual cluster allocators, and also from information received from the computing devices themselves, generates a flow graph to identify an optimal scheduling of the assignment of resources to specific ones of the virtual clusters. Each virtual cluster allocator then, based on the assignment of resources assigned to it by the resource distributor, solves its own flow graph to identify an optimal scheduling of processes on the resources assigned. The scheduling of processes is performed iteratively by initially assigning resources to those processes having a high priority, and then, in subsequent iterations, assigning opportunistic resources to those processes having a lower priority.

A live migration in a virtual computer system. On a source physical computer, the control information area of the source logical FC-HBA (managed by an OS) is copied to the control information area of a dummy logical FC-HBA managed by a hypervisor. After an FC login to the dummy FC-HBA, an address conversion table is rewritten so that a host physical address for referring to the control information area of a logical HBA 1 ′ can be referred to using a guest logical address for referring to the control information area of the source FC-HBA. After the FC logout of the source FC-HBA, using a WWN of the FC used for the FC logout, a login to the destination logic FC-HBA is performed. Next, the OS on the source computer is taken over by the destination computer. Therefore, the disk accessed on the source computer can be accessed from the destination FC-HBA.
