摘要： Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems manage network interface controllers (NICs) to determine when NICs within a host operating in active-passive mode can operate in an active-active mode. A host sends probe messages from a first NIC of the host to determine whether a second NIC of the host receives the probe messages. When the second NIC does not receive probe messages, the NICs within the host can operate in an active-active mode.

摘要： Methods and apparatus to provision a workload in a virtual server rack deployment are disclosed. An example method includes determining, via a first resource manager executing on a processor, parameters of a request for allocating resources of a virtual server rack for performing a workload, determining logical computing resources to be utilized for performing the workload based on the parameters, determining first physical computing resources installed in a first physical rack and second physical computing resources installed in a second physical rack included in the virtual server rack to perform the determined logical computing resources, and instructing a first centralized manager of virtual hosts to provision the first physical computing resources into the logical computing resources to allocate the logical computing resources for performing the workload.

摘要： Methods and apparatus to cross configure network resources of software defined data centers are disclosed. Example instructions cause one or more processors to monitor a component of a network for a probe packet sent to the component. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to detecting the probe packet, determine whether the probe packet includes a unique source media access control (MAC) address that is included in a probe access control list (ACL), the unique source MAC address included in the probe ACL set by a decision engine. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to determining that the probe packet does not include the unique source MAC address, record probe packet receipt information indicating that the probe packet did not pass through a network port of the component and transmit the probe packet receipt information to the decision engine.

摘要： Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a policy enforcer to evaluate whether capacities of the plurality of workload domains comply with policy capacity levels of respective user-defined policies for the plurality of workload domains, and a resource manager to, when a first workload domain has a first quantity of resources that exceeds a first policy capacity level of a first user-defined policy, identify a second workload domain requesting a second quantity of resources, when the second quantity of resources is equal to the first quantity of resources, allocate the first quantity of resources from the first workload domain to the second workload domain to satisfy the first policy capacity level, when the second quantity of resources is less than the first quantity of resources, allocate the second quantity of resources from the first workload domain to the second workload domain, and de-allocate remaining resources from the first workload domain to a shared resource pool to satisfy the first policy capacity level.

摘要： Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to optimize or otherwise improve packet flow among virtualized servers are disclosed and described. An example apparatus includes a load balance list generator to identify abstracted network resources in a virtualized network based on a utilization status parameter of the abstracted network resources, generate a load balance list including the identified abstracted network resources, the load balance list including a number of the abstracted network resources satisfying a threshold, and generate a network routing configuration for data packets in the virtualized network based on the generated load balance list. The example apparatus further includes a policy adjustor to adjust a policy of a physical hardware resource corresponding to one of the one or more abstracted network resources based on the network routing configuration to distribute a packet flow among the abstracted network resources.
