Abstract: A method of determining compatibility of a virtual machine or virtual machine disk file with a host, including a storage host, is disclosed. A lookup matrix is created to provide a fast compatibility lookup. To create the lookup matrix, computing object properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of computing objects. The computing object properties include resource requirements of each of the plurality of computing objects. Further, host properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of hosts. The method further includes creating host logical groups of a subset of the plurality of hosts having substantially same host properties and creating a plurality of computing object logical groups of a subject of the plurality of computing objects having substantially same computing object properties. The lookup matrix answers whether each member of a selected computing object logical group can be transferred to a selected host logical group.

Abstract: A method and software is described for recreating on a target datastore a set of hierarchical files that are present on a source datastore. A content identifier (ID) is maintained for each component of the set of hierarchical files. The content ID of a component is updated when its contents are modified. The child component is copied from the source datastore to the target datastore. The content ID corresponding to the parent component on the source datastore is compared with content IDs corresponding to files present on the target datastore. When a matching content ID is discovered, it infers a copy of the parent component. The matching file on the target datastore is associated with the copied child component so that the matching file becomes a new parent component to the copied child component, thereby recreating the set of hierarchical files on the target.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种方法和软件，用于在目标数据存储上重新创建存在于源数据存储上的一组分层文件。 为分层文件集合中的每个组件维护内容标识符（ID）。 当其内容被修改时，组件的内容ID被更新。 子组件从源数据存储复制到目标数据存储。 将与源数据存储上的父组件相对应的内容ID与对应于目标数据存储上存在的文件的内容ID进行比较。 当发现匹配的内容ID时，它会推断父组件的副本。 目标数据存储区上的匹配文件与复制的子组件相关联，以便匹配文件成为复制的子组件的新父组件，从而在目标上重新创建一组分层文件。
