Abstract: System and computer-implemented method for migrating partial tree structures of virtual disks for virtual computing instances between sites in a computer system uses a compressed trie, which is created from target tree structures of virtual disks at a plurality of target sites in the computer system. For a virtual computing instance selected, the compressed trie is used to find candidate target sites based on a disk chain string of the virtual computing instance. For each candidate target site, a cost value for migrating the virtual computing instance along with a partial source tree structure of virtual disks corresponding to the virtual computing instance from the source site to the candidate target site is calculated to select a target site with a lowest cost value as a migration option to reduce storage resource usage in the computer system.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide, for a RAN (radio access network), a method of rapidly upgrading multiple machines distributed across multiple cell sites, each particular machine of the multiple machines executing one or more base station applications. The method downloads a second boot disk for each of the multiple machines at each of the multiple cell sites, the second boot disk including an upgraded version of a first boot disk currently used by each of the multiple machines. For each particular machine, the method (1) powers off the particular machine, (2) creates a copy of data stored by a data disk of the particular machine to preserve data stored currently on the data disk, (3) replaces the first boot disk of the particular machine with the second boot disk that is the upgraded version of the first boot disk, and (4) powers on the particular machine.
