Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a template for creating a virtual machine (VM) instance; separating, by the computing device, the template into a repeated portion and a unique portion; determining, by the computing device, whether the repeated portion is stored in a cache; creating, by the computing device and based on determining that the repeated portion is stored in the cache, the VM instance using the repeated portion stored in the cache; completing, by the computing device, the unique portion of the VM instance to create a completed VM instance; and deploying, by the computing device, the completed VM instance.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, and computer system, and computer program products for assessing and remediating online servers with minimal impact. Aspects include: duplicating, in real-time at time T0, first instance of computer resources of first server into second instance of computer resources of second server, the first instance of computer resources having first instance of operating systems, first instance of applications and first instance of data and the second instance of computer resources having second instance of operating systems, second instance of applications and second instance of data, running assessment and remediation on the second instance of operating systems and applications of the second server, merging the second instance of data of the second server with the first instance of data of the first server, and swapping the identities of the first instance of computer resources of the first server and the second instance of computer resources of the second server.

Abstract: Software, hardware, and virtual network resources are anti-collocated on a networked computing environment. A computerized network-management system receives a list of resources to be installed on components of a network and a set of anti-collocation rules that identify combinations of resources that may not be installed concurrently on the same network component. Each resource is assigned a priority and the resources are organized into groups as a function of these priorities. The groups are processed sequentially in priority order, and a color is assigned to each resource in each group. Any resource not constrained by an anti-collocation rule is assigned a default “most popular” color. Each constrained resource is assigned a color that is not already used by any other resource with which the constrained resource is anti-collocated. The resources in each group are then installed in order of color, with the more populous colors being installed first.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for storage system-based replication for disaster recovery in virtualized environments are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes identifying, among multiple storage aggregation units within a virtualized environment, one or more of the storage aggregation units to undergo a change in disaster recovery replication status from (i) enabled to disabled or (ii) disabled to enabled; determining one of multiple mechanisms to execute the change in disaster recovery replication status for each of the identified storage aggregation units by (i) implementing an optimization algorithm to each of the multiple mechanisms and (ii) identifying the one of the multiple mechanisms that minimizes data copy overhead based on the optimization algorithm; and executing the change in disaster recovery replication status for each of the identified storage aggregation units within the virtualized environment in accordance with the one of the multiple mechanisms that minimizes data copy overhead.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for anti-collocating multiple virtual entities in a cloud-computing environment. A computerized cloud-configuration system receives a list of virtual machines to be placed in a cloud and a set of anti-collocation rules that identify combinations of machines that may not be placed in a same location. Each virtual machine is assigned a priority and the machines are organized into groups as a function these priorities. The groups are processed sequentially in priority order, and a color is assigned to each virtual machine in each group. Any machine not constrained by an anti-collocation rule is assigned a default “most popular” color. Constrained machines are each assigned a color that is not already used by any other machine with which it is anti-collocated. The virtual machines in each group are then placed in the cloud in order of color, with the populous colors being assigned first.

Abstract: In embodiments of the invention LPARs can be run on any server in a group of servers. Upon detecting a server has failed, each LPAR then running on the failed server is identified, and servers in the group that are available for restarting the identified LPARs are determined. Identified LPARs are assigned to an available server for restarting, wherein each LPAR has a value associated with a specified LPAR priority criterion, and a given LPAR is assigned in accordance with its value. Responsive to assigning the given LPAR to an available server, a specified storage resource is connected for use by the server in association with the given LPAR, wherein the specified storage resource was previously connected for use by the failed server in association with the given LPAR.
