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: Various aspects are disclosed for remotely delivering, checking, and applying datacenter management configurations. A gateway service uses a set repository function provided that configures a datacenter management service to use a perimeter layer script repository of the gateway service for synchronization. The gateway service causes the datacenter management service to synchronize a datacenter layer script repository to store a script identified and retrieved from the perimeter layer script repository. The gateway service causes the datacenter management service to execute the script from its datacenter layer script repository.

Abstract: A method of reserving hardware resources for management appliances of a software-defined data center (SDDC) that have been deployed onto one or more hosts of a cluster of hosts, includes reserving hardware resources of the cluster for a resource pool that has been created for the management appliances, the hardware resources including at least processor resources of the hosts and memory resources of the hosts, and assigning the management appliances to the resource pool created for the management appliances. The management appliances share the hardware resources of the cluster with one or more other resource pools and, after the steps of reserving and assigning, are allocated at least the hardware resources that have been reserved for the resource pool created for the management appliances.
