    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for network-less provisioning of guest operating system and software. In one embodiment, a monitor process mounts a floppy image or ISO storing a deployment tool on a virtual CD/DVD device or virtual floppy device, respectively, of a VM and powers on the VM. The deployment tool is invoked upon powering on of the VM and requests that the monitor mount an OS ISO image on the virtual CD/DVD device. In response, the monitor mounts the OS ISO and transmits an acknowledgment to the deployment tool, which initiates OS installation from the OS ISO image. After the OS installation, the deployment tool transmits a further request that monitor clean-up resources consumed during the OS installation and reboots the VM, after which a similar process may be undertaken to install software for the VM.

    Abstract: Techniques for prioritized client-server communications based on server health are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes multiple clients, and a server communicatively coupled to the multiple clients. The server may include a quality of service (QoS) aware server agent to divide the clients into client groups, assign a priority level to each of the client groups, monitor a health of the server, and determine heartbeat status messages to be sent to the client groups based on the assigned priority level and the health of the server. Each heartbeat message may indicate a state of the server. Further, the QoS aware server agent may send the heartbeat status messages to corresponding ones of the client groups and instruct clients corresponding to one or more of the client groups to send data based on the corresponding heartbeat status messages.

    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that employ network metrics collected by distributed-computer-system metrics-collection services to determine a service-call-based topology for distributed service-oriented applications. In a described implementation, network metrics are collected over a number of network-metric monitoring periods. Independent component analysis is used to extract, from the collected network metrics, signals corresponding to sequences of service calls initiated by calls to the application-programming interface of a distributed service-oriented application. The signals, in combination with call traces obtained from a distributed-services call-tracing utility or service, are then used to construct representations of distributed-service-oriented-application topologies. The distributed-service-oriented-application topologies provide a basis for any additional types of distributed-computer-system functionalities, utilities, and facilities.

    Abstract: Upgrading a customized configuration file can include replacing the configuration property value of the upgraded configuration file with the corresponding configuration property value of the customized configuration file in response to the configuration property value of the upgraded configuration file being the same as the corresponding configuration property value of the previous version configuration file and in response to the configuration property value of the upgraded configuration file being different than the corresponding configuration property value of the customized configuration file.
