Abstract: Example methods and systems to perform a migration of a virtualized computing instance and its first snapshot hierarchy from a first object store to a second object store have been disclosed. One example method includes identifying a first disk chain of the first snapshot hierarchy having an object running point, identifying a second disk chain of the first snapshot hierarchy different from the first disk chain, and migrating the second disk chain from the first object store to the second object store to form a first branch of a second snapshot hierarchy in the second object store. After the migrating, the example method includes instructing to take a first native snapshot on the object running point in the second object store, instructing to revert the object running point along the first branch and migrating the first disk chain from the first object store to the second object store.

Abstract: A distributed system, such as a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment and having storage nodes arranged in a cluster, is provided with capability by a management server to detect mutually exclusive features. If a feature being requested for installation is detected as being a mutually exclusive feature by using a first table, the management server searches for the feature in second table. If the feature is located in the second table and if the feature meets a condition for interoperability specified by the second table, then the management server proceeds with serving the request by installing the feature in the distributed storage system. Else, the management server rejects the request.

Abstract: A distributed system, such as a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment and having storage nodes arranged in a cluster, is provided by management server with a transition period between non-encryption and encryption modes of operation. The transition period enables all of the nodes to complete a transition from the non-encryption mode of operation to the encryption mode of operation, without loss of data-in-transit (DIT). An auto-remediation feature is provided by the management server to the cluster, so as to fix inconsistent state(s) of one or more nodes in the cluster.
