Abstract:
Techniques to process virtual machine objects through multistep workflows in a computer system are described. In an example, a method of processing virtual machine objects through a workflow having a plurality of ordered steps in a computer system includes executing the workflow on computing resources of the computer system using the virtual machine objects as parametric input, where the computing resources: divide the virtual machine objects into workgroups; perform instances of a step of the workflow in parallel on the workgroups as the workgroups complete a prior step in the workflow; and execute an agent to delegate the workgroups to, and receive results from, the instances of the step as the workflow is executed.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to perform site recovery of a virtual data center are disclosed. An example method includes discovering a work item to be included in a protection group associated with a recovery plan. The work item is not included in the protection group prior to execution of the site recovery workflow and the work item is discovered during execution of a site recovery workflow. The method also includes causing an operation of the site recovery workflow to be performed on the work item, and storing, in a persistable data container, a work item identifier identifying the work item. A result indicating the outcome of the operation performed on the work item is also stored. In some examples, the persistable data container is accessible to a status output device.
