    摘要: A system, method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a cabling plan for a computing system are disclosed. A method may include accessing an elevation plan defining a respective mount position for each of a set of components of the computing system. The method may also include determining one or more port pairs to be used for interconnecting the plurality of components. The method may further include determining, for each port pair, a cable length to use to connect the port pair. The cable length may be determined based at least in part on mount positions defined by the elevation plan for the two components connected by the port pair. The method may additionally include generating a cabling plan defining the cable length to use to connect each respective port pair.

    摘要: A method for automation of deduplication storage capacity sizing and trending analysis is provided. The method includes collecting all file system directories of at least one system for which a deduplication backup storage capacity for files in the all file system directories is to be determined. The method includes determining file counts, file sizes and file types of the files in the all file system directories and obtaining a deduplication ratio of each of the file types. The method includes deriving the deduplication backup storage capacity from the file counts, the file sizes and the file types of the files in the all file system directories, based on the deduplication ratio of each of the file types.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for integrating a converged infrastructure platform in a data center is provided. The described apparatus configures the physical and virtual resources that run on the converged infrastructure to communicate with the rest of the data center. The network integration process understands the data center network already in place and extends the set up into the converged infrastructure to enable communication between the converged infrastructure and the rest of the network in the data center. The apparatus uses an infrastructure template that describes the data center and that may be pre-defined for a specific application deployed within the converged infrastructure platform.

    摘要: A method and system for executing scripts on virtual machines is provided. The system includes an executor service that accepts scripts, parameters, authentication information from another process that needs to invoke a script on a target virtual machine (or group of virtual machines). The executor service remains running even after a script has completed execution. The executor service accepts any number of scripts and places them in a command queue. Agents running on the target virtual machine(s) check-in with the executor service to receive scripts from the command queue. Also, the executor service may directly invoke a script using a persistent connection to a virtual machine management center.

    摘要: A snapshot agent executing on a virtual desktop allows a user to both create snapshots of the VM image hosting the virtual desktop and to revert that VM instance to such snapshots. In addition to a snapshot agent that executes within a given VM instance, another embodiment provides a user with network access to a portal snapshot management interface, e.g., via a web application. The web application can present the list of VM instances, and snapshots for each such VM instance, owned by an authenticated user. The user can then interact with the web application to create a new snapshot for (or revert to) an existing snapshot for the owned VM instances.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for deploying an application in a converged infrastructure is described. The application may be deployed according a model that specifies deployment of the application on resources allocated from the converged infrastructure. The model may be used to scale and adjust the deployment of the application according to pre-determined best practices and according to deployment-specific parameters provided by a system administrator.

    摘要: An improved technique for managing an electronic system suitable for providing users with information technology resources, such as compute, storage, and network resources, builds an object model instance of data center components to represent the data center components as a unified entity, which administrators can access as a single-point source for information about the components. In some examples, the object model instance also serves as a single-point for management control of the electronic system. The object model instance is populated with information obtained from a discovery process, where components are queried to report their actual configuration and state, as well as physical and logical relationships among them.

    摘要: A method for executing workflows is provided. The method includes querying a workflow engine regarding an input parameter of a workflow, responsive to a selection from a portal to execute the workflow. The method includes generating a graphical user interface requesting a value of the input parameter and transmitting the graphical user interface to the portal for display. The method includes sending a workflow invocation request, with the value of the input parameter from the graphical user interface, to the workflow engine, wherein at least one method operation is performed by a processor. In some embodiments, a workflow execution framework is provided.
