    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for collecting forensics associated with a failure of a storage controller. For example, a storage node, of a cluster environment, may comprise a service processor and a storage controller. The storage controller may manage a storage device accessible, through the storage controller, to one or more client devices. The service processor may manage the storage controller (e.g., collect operational statistics of the storage controller, perform software and/or firmware updates for the storage controller, etc.). The service processor may obtain forensics associated with a failure of the storage controller, and may provide the forensics to a cluster health monitor notwithstanding the storage controller being in an inoperable state (e.g., the service processor may send the forensics through a network interface controller of the storage node, over a non-client storage management network, to the cluster health monitor).

    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for multicast transport configuration, for multicast transport, and/or for fault policy implementation. In an example, a multicast component may receive a data copy request from an application to copy data to multiple destinations. A scheduler component may create a transport schedule specifying an order with which to facilitate data copy operations across transports, such as heterogeneous transports, to the destinations. A dispatcher component may apply application specified transport modifiers to the data copy operations (e.g., a modification to a quality of service for a transport). The dispatcher component may facilitate the data copy operations and provide operation result information to a policy agent. The policy agent may provide notifications of data copy operation statuses from the operation result information and/or may implement a fault policy (e.g., a retry on a different transport) for a data copy operation that experienced a fault.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种或多种技术和/或系统用于多播传输配置,用于多播传输和/或用于故障策略实现。 在一个示例中,多播组件可以从应用程序接收数据复制请求,以将数据复制到多个目的地。 调度器组件可以创建指定顺序的传输调度,以便促进跨传输(诸如异构传输)到目的地的数据复制操作。 调度器组件可以将应用指定的传输修改器应用于数据复制操作(例如,对于传输的服务质量的修改)。 调度器组件可以促进数据复制操作,并向策略代理提供操作结果信息。 策略代理可以从运行结果信息提供数据复制操作状态的通知和/或可以对经历故障的数据复制操作实施故障策略(例如,在不同的传输上重试)。

    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that automatically updates diagnostic tools includes identifying hardware and software information associated with a hardware device coupled to the configuration management computing device. A rule is identified based on the identified hardware and software information associated with the hardware device. An executable diagnostic package is obtained based on information within the identified rule. An existing diagnostic package within the coupled hardware device is updated by replacing the existing diagnostic packaged within the coupled hardware device with the obtained executable diagnostic package.
