    Abstract: A method of managing servers of a distributed computer system by using an intent-based CLI (command line interface) executing by one or more processors of a remote computing device, the servers hosting a virtual cluster comprising one or more virtual machines. The method includes receiving, by a first server of the servers, a connection-request from the intent-based CLI to establish an encrypted connection between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes authenticating the connection-request and establishing, in response to authenticating the connection-request, a first encrypted communication channel between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes receiving, via the first encrypted communication channel, an operation-request for a list of intent-based operations supported by the first server. The method includes building, by the first server and in response to receipt of the operation-request, a list of intent-based operations supported by the first server.

    Abstract: A system and method include classifying and assigning virtual disks accessed from compute only nodes. The method determines, by a management processor of a virtual computing system, characteristics for a plurality of virtual disks hosted on a plurality of hyper converged nodes in a cluster of nodes in the virtual computing system. The method further classifies, by the management processor, each of the plurality of virtual disks based on the determined characteristics and identifies, by the management processor, one of the plurality of virtual disks to host data for a virtual machine on a compute only node based on the classification to spread out input-output demand in the cluster, reducing probability of input-output bottlenecks and increasing cluster-wide storage throughput. The method also assigns, by the management processor, the identified virtual disk to host data for the virtual machine located on the compute only node.

    Abstract: A resource matching technique between a primary site and one or more secondary sites accommodates a configuration update of a virtual machine (VM) in a disaster recovery (DR) environment. The resource matching technique determines whether a proposed resource configuration update or change to a primary VM running at the primary site is permissible on a secondary VM configured for failover operation at a secondary site in the event of failure to the primary VM. The technique continuously monitors the availability of resources at each secondary site and enables negotiation between the primary and secondary sites of the proposed configuration change based on corresponding indications resource availability. The resources may include generic resources (e.g., memory, storage capacity and CPU processing capacity) and specialized resources (e.g., GPU types and/or models).

    Abstract: A system and method include assigning virtual machines (VMs) to any one of compute only (CO) and hyper converged (HC) nodes. The method includes identifying, by a management processor of a virtual computing system, input-output patterns for a plurality of virtual disks in the virtual computing system; ranking, by the management processor, the plurality of virtual machines according to the identified input-output patterns; assigning, by the management processor, the plurality of virtual machines to any one of CO and HC nodes that optimize performance of the virtual computing system; monitoring, by the management processor, performance of the plurality of virtual machines; and determining, by the management processor, a change in behavior of one of the plurality of virtual machines.
