    摘要: A method and system for managing stored data on a computer network organizes data into logical volumes, and each logical volume has a friendly name associated with it. A domain controller keeps track of the friendly names of the logical volumes and associates those friendly names with the actual physical paths of the logical volumes. When a client computer on the network wishes to access a logical volume, it sends a look-up request having the friendly name to the domain controller. The domain controller may fulfill the request by sending the path of the logical volume to the client computer.

    摘要: A system recovery method and framework for backing up and restoring a system that cannot reboot. The framework defines a common process, environment, and syntax, whereby backup programs integrate with this framework by collecting and writing appropriate information to be used during system recovery in the proper format. The format is a System Information File, a text file that specifies the hard disk state of the system and the location of key partitions where key components of the operating system are located. The file also includes instructions for specifying programs to launch during the restore phase, and any commands that need to be run in error handling cases. The file also includes or references any additional drivers or files to copy to assist in the restore process. A framework for restoring is also provided, and includes reading the file to restore the disk partition state, creating a common environment, and configuring (initializing) the common environment. When the environment is configured, the programs specified in the file are run to restore the remainder of the system.

    摘要: A method and system for backing up and restoring a system that cannot reboot in an automatic and efficient manner. A backup component copies and stores the state that defines the configuration of the computer system by obtaining and preserving the underlying description of the system. The backed-up state information includes the disk structure and layout. Also backed up is the information specifying what to execute during restore phases, including programs to copy and execute, any error handling, and any special driver files to load. A restore component operates in a first phase to use the backed-up configuration information to compare with the current state of a new system, and the disk and volume state are restored according to the saved information. Once the underlying system state is restored, an environment is created by copying a set of files required to run the programs that will restore the remainder of the data. A second restore phase configures the environment for launching a restore program by detecting and installing drivers and support for devices installed on the system. The restore program or programs are then run according to the instructions that were saved therewith during the backup phase, to restore the remainder of the data.

    摘要: A system and method for purposing a computing device is disclosed. The computing devices in a network are organized into groups referred to as Pods, each Pod of computing devices further comprising an aggregation node. The aggregation node monitors and controls the computing devices in the Pod. The aggregation node is used to copy a system image from the pristine partition of another computer device or from a library of system images to a target partition of the computer to be repurposed. Because the computing devices in the network are organized into Pods, with each Pod having an aggregation node, there is no single point of failure for the entire management and control of the network. The aggregation nodes for each Pod in the network can communicate with one another to most efficiently allocate resources among the various tasks to be performed by the computing resources in the network. Computing devices in the network can be repurposed and/or reassigned to different Pods based on the various criteria.
