摘要:
A software application distributed as a virtual appliance is automatically installed, updated and removed in a virtual machine system running on top of a virtual machine monitor in a computer. The software application virtual appliance comprises a virtual disk, which is automatically detected and installed or removed at the customer by a virtual disk activation manager program, which executes scripts including commands through an API to the virtual machine monitor. The virtual appliance virtual disk is also created automatically by the software manufacturing using the virtual disk activation manager program. The virtual appliance virtual disk stores the binaries of the software application, a software package created by the software manufacturer using a software package tool, an installer to execute the software package, installation and un-installation scripts and a unique identifier which is a signature for the virtual machine virtual disk.
摘要:
A method and system for managing locks for one or more resources in a distributed system including multiple distributed computing nodes, is provided. One implementation involves maintaining a database as a shared storage accessible by plural participating nodes for storing shared lock information, each participating node locally managing a local list of locks, the participating nodes cooperating in providing decentralized lock management across the nodes using the local and shared lock information, to achieve granting and releasing of locks for synchronizing access to one or more resources.

A computer method and system dynamically provide consistency of Java application files. A processor executed routine is configured (e.g., instrumented as an agent) to intercept each class that is loaded into a subject Java application or JVM. The system computes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the respective JAR file surrounding the loaded class. The system compares the computed CRC value to a CRC value of at least one other copy of the respective JAR file. Based on results of the comparison, the system determines consistency (e.g., same version) of the multiple copies of the respective JAR file used by the subject Java application. If the multiple copies of the respective JAR file are determined to be inconsistent, the system alerts the user and/or enables the application to abort. The comparative CRC value may be stored in a repository; and the step of comparing looks up the stored CRC value in the repository.
摘要:
A software element database stores software element definitions according to a software element hierarchy. A score is assigned to at least one of the software element based at least in part upon the software element's hierarchy level. Further, virtual machine templates are stored in a library. The virtual machine templates include at least one software element associated with a software element from the software element database. A user enters a specification that specifies desired software elements to be included in the virtual machine via a user interface. After the specification is entered, the a score value is calculated for at least one virtual machine template from the library, based on the scores assigned to the software elements. Using the calculated score, the virtual machine template having the highest score value is selected and the selected virtual machine template is delivered as the virtual machine to a hypervisor.

A mechanism dynamically modifies the base-priority of a spawned set of processes according to their actual resource utilization (CPU or I/O wait time) and to a priority class assigned to them during their startup. In this way it is possible to maximize the CPU and I/O resource usage without at the same time degrading the interactive experience of the users currently logged on the system.
摘要:
A method, system and computer program product for optimizing virtual storage in a virtual computer system including at least one virtual machine, each virtual machine being associated with one or more virtual disks. A target set of virtual machines among the virtual machines comprised in the virtual computer system is determined based on information related to the virtual machines and on shrinking constraints. For each virtual machine in the target set of virtual machines, each virtual disk associated with the virtual machine is identified. Furthermore, for each virtual disk associated with the virtual machine, the following occurs: the virtual disk is analyzed, a virtual disk saving quantity based on the virtual disk analysis is estimated, a resized virtual disk based on the estimated virtual disk saving quantity is generated, and the current virtual disk is replaced with the resized virtual disk.

Centrally managing configuration of software application involves creating configuration metadata for each component of the application; providing a specific configuration for a component; checking validity of the specific configuration using the metadata for said component; and monitoring the application component configuration for consistency with said specific configuration.
