Abstract: A method of upgrading a VIM server appliance includes: creating a snapshot of logical volumes mapped to physical volumes that store configuration and database files of virtual infrastructure management (VIM) services provided by a first VIM server appliance to be upgraded; after the snapshot is created, expanding the configuration and database files to be compatible with a second VIM server appliance; replicating the logical volumes which have been modified as a result of expanding the configuration and database files, in the second VIM server appliance; after replication, performing a switchover of VIM services that are provided, from the first VIM server appliance to the second VIM server appliance; and upon failure of any of the steps of expanding, replicating, and performing the switchover, aborting the upgrade, and reverting to a version of the configuration and database files that was preserved by creating the snapshot.

Abstract: Managing virtual infrastructure with self-initialized upgrades, such as upgrades or configuration changes, includes receiving, by a first virtual machine (VM) that provides a management function for a plurality of VMs, an indication of a pending configuration change. The first VM identifies, from within the plurality of VMs, a VM having a property which is associated with the first VM. This enables the first VM to locate itself among the plurality of VMs that it manages. Based on at least locating itself among the plurality of managed VMs (e.g., determining that the first VM comprises the identified VM), the first VM performs the configuration change on itself. Example changes include increasing memory, increasing storage allocation, increasing the number of processors, and other changes that may be associated with upgrading or migrating a VM.

Abstract: A method of managing configurations of a data center according to a desired state of the configurations includes retrieving a running state of the configurations, comparing the running state against a first desired state of the configurations and determining a drift of the running state from the first desired state, notifying a cloud control plane of the drift, and in response to an instruction issued by the cloud control plane to apply the desired state, configuring the data center according to a second desired state.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for state convergence associated with high availability application migration in a virtualized environment. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute or instantiate the machine readable instructions to identify a high availability slot in a virtual server rack including a first virtual machine (VM) associated with first configuration data that identifies the first VM as a protected VM, transmit second configuration data to a second VM that identifies the first VM as a nonprotected VM and the second VM as the protected VM, after a determination that a network partition is identified based on a failure of a request to retrieve the second configuration data from the second VM, and transfer data from the first VM to the second VM after causing the removal of the network partition.

Abstract: A method of on-boarding a virtual infrastructure management (VIM) server appliance in which VIM software for locally managing a software-defined data center (SDDC) is installed, to enable the VIM server appliance to be centrally managed through a cloud service includes upgrading the VIM server appliance from a current version to a higher version that supports communication with agents of the cloud service, modifying configurations of the upgraded VIM server appliance according to a prescriptive configuration required by the cloud service, and deploying a gateway appliance for running the agents of the cloud service that communicate with the cloud service and the upgraded VIM server appliance.
