摘要:
A method, system, and article are provided for monitoring performance of hardware devices. Each hardware device is configured with an agent, and the server is configured with a coordinator. The agent collects device data at a first modifiable frequency and communicates the collected data to the coordinator at a second dynamically modifiable frequency. The collected data is periodically monitored and the first and second frequencies are modified subject to evaluation of the collected and monitored data.

The embodiments of the invention provide a method, computer program product, etc. for risk-modulated proactive data migration for maximizing utility. More specifically, a method of planning data migration for maximizing utility of a storage infrastructure that is running and actively serving at least one application includes selecting a plurality of potential data items for migration and selecting a plurality of potential migration destinations to which the potential data items can be moved. Moreover, the method selects a plurality of potential migration speeds at which the potential data items can be moved and selects a plurality of potential migration times at which the potential data items can be moved to the potential data migration destinations. The selecting of the plurality of potential migration speeds selects a migration speed below a threshold speed, wherein the threshold speed defines a maximum system utility loss permitted.

A system and method of conducting resource flow control sessions in a computer network comprises sending a resource request from a client computer to a server computer; assigning to the client computer a flow control window, wherein a size of a flow control window is based on resources available to the server computer and a level of activity of a corresponding client computer, wherein the server computer is in any of a busy and idle state of activity; determining whether to change the size of the flow control window upon receiving the resource request based on the level of activity of the corresponding client computer and a current utilization of resources during a particular session of use; tracking a number of active sessions of use of the resources in a predetermined time window; and maintaining the flow control window with a maximum queue size per number of sessions value.

The embodiments of the invention provide methods, computer program products, etc. for autonomic retention classes when retaining data within storage devices. More specifically, a method of determining whether to retain data within at least one storage device begins by storing data items in at least one storage device. Furthermore, the method maintains access statistics for each of the data items, an age of each of the data items, and an administrator-defined importance value of each of the data items. Following this, a retention value is calculated for each of the data items based on the access statistics for each of the data items, the age of each of the data items, and the administrator-defined importance value of each of the data items.

Disclosed is an autonomic abnormality detection device having a plurality of agents, a server with a one or more processors, a data storage device and a corrective actions engine. The device is adapted to detect and diagnose abnormalities in system components. Particularly, the device uses agents to track performance/workload measurements of system components and dynamically compiles a history of those performance/workload measurements for each component. In order to detect abnormalities a processor compares current performance/workload measurements for a component to the compiled histories for that component and for other components. The processor can further be adapted to determine possible causes of a detected abnormality and to report the abnormality, including the possible causes, to a corrective actions engine.

Disclosed are system and method embodiments for determining the root-causes of a performance objective violation, such as an end-to-end service level objection (SLO) violation, in a large-scale system with multi-tiered applications. This determination is made using a hybrid of component-level snapshots of the state of the system during a period in which an abnormal event occurred (i.e., black box mapping) and of known events and their causes (i.e., white-box mapping). Specifically, in response to a query about a violation (e.g., why did the response time for application a1 increase from r1 to r2), a processor will access and correlate the black-box and white-box mappings to determine a short-list of probable causes for the violation.

A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to determine one or more optimal mappings between a server layer and a storage layer through a network layer based on performance metrics of one or more ports of at least one of the server layer, the storage layer and the network layer.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for providing non-disruptive transitioning of application replication configurations and proactive analysis of possible error scenarios. Specifically, under embodiments of the present invention, a common integration model (CIM)-compatible representation of a system replication plan is provided in a computer data structure. Based on the representation, a hierarchical tree data structure having a set of nodes is created. A set of system configuration updates pertaining to the set of nodes are then classified (e.g., based upon the type of configuration update). Once the set of nodes has been classified, the set of nodes may then be analyzed to determine if any nodes of the set are isomorphic. If so, the plan can be modified accordingly. In any event, the replication plan (or modified replication plan) may then be implemented.
