Abstract: Methods and apparatus to transfer physical hardware resources between virtual rack domains in a virtualized server rack are disclosed. An example method includes determining, using a processor, a subset of candidate hosts that includes a host capacity that meets a first threshold, the candidate hosts belonging to a first virtual rack domain; determining, using the processor, whether the first virtual rack domain will meet an operating requirement of the first virtual rack domain if the subset of the candidate hosts is removed from the first virtual rack domain; and when the first virtual rack domain will meet the operating requirement if the subset of the candidate hosts is removed from the first virtual rack domain, transferring the subset of the candidate hosts from the first virtual rack domain to a second virtual rack domain.

Abstract: An example method includes configuring a network to facilitate communications between a first virtual resource manager (VRM) in a first physical rack and a second VRM in a second physical rack. The first VRM manages first physical resources in the first physical rack. The second VRM manages second physical resources in the second physical rack. A primary election process determines one of the first or second VRMs to operate as a primary VRM for a virtual server rack. The virtual server rack is based on the first physical resources and the second physical resources. When the first VRM is the elected primary VRM, the first VRM is registered as the primary VRM. When the first VRM is not the elected primary VRM, the first VRM is registered as a secondary VRM, and a watch object is created to monitor for a failure or unavailability of the primary VRM.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to cross configure network resources of software defined data centers are disclosed. Example instructions cause one or more processors to monitor a component of a network for a probe packet sent to the component. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to detecting the probe packet, determine whether the probe packet includes a unique source media access control (MAC) address that is included in a probe access control list (ACL), the unique source MAC address included in the probe ACL set by a decision engine. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to determining that the probe packet does not include the unique source MAC address, record probe packet receipt information indicating that the probe packet did not pass through a network port of the component and transmit the probe packet receipt information to the decision engine.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to optimize or otherwise improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a load balance list generator to identify abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources, generate a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold, and generate a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list. The example apparatus further includes a policy adjustor to adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one of the one or more abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.
