20140195672 | AUTOMATED FAILURE HANDLING THROUGH ISOLATION - Embodiments are directed to isolating a cloud computing node using network- or some other type of isolation. In one scenario, a computer system determines that a cloud computing node is no longer responding to monitoring requests. The computer system isolates the determined cloud computing node to ensure that software programs running on the determined cloud computing node are no longer effectual (either the programs no longer produce outputs, or those outputs are not allowed to be transmitted). The computer system also notifies various entities that the determined cloud computing node has been isolated. The node may be isolated by powering the node down, by preventing the node from transmitting and/or receiving data, and by manually isolating the node. In some cases, isolating the node by preventing the node from transmitting and/or receiving data includes deactivating network switch ports used by the determined cloud computing node for data communication. | 07-10-2014 |
20140195687 | Service Migration across Cluster Boundaries - Embodiments provide migration of services across different clusters to balance utilization and meet customer demands.

The service is created on the new destination cluster and staged so that the service is almost ready to start. In one embodiment, the service is stopped on the old cluster and started on the new cluster. After stopping the service, DNS is updated to point to the service on the new cluster. In another embodiment, the service is stopped on the old cluster and started on the new cluster with the same IP address to avoid DNS reprogramming and associated delays. In a further embodiment, the migration is performed without downtime by moving the service part by part from one cluster to another. | 07-10-2014 |
20140195853 | CLOUD MANAGEMENT USING A COMPONENT HEALTH MODEL - Embodiments are directed to establishing a model for testing cloud components and to preventing cascading failures in cloud components. In one scenario, a computer system models identified cloud components (including cloud hardware components and/or cloud software components) as health entities. Each health entity is configured to provide state information about the cloud component. The computer system establishes declarative safety conditions which declaratively describe cloud computing conditions that are to be maintained at the identified cloud components. The computer system then tests against the declarative safety conditions to determine which cloud components are or are becoming problematic. Upon determining that an error has occurred, the computer system notifies users of the error and the component at which the error occurred. Guarded interfaces are established to ensure that actions taken to fix the error do not cause further failures. | 07-10-2014 |
20140195861 | IMPLEMENTING RATE CONTROLS TO LIMIT TIMEOUT-BASED FAULTS - Embodiments are directed to implementing rate controls to limit faults detected by timeout and to learning and adjusting an optimal timeout value. In one scenario, a computer system identifies cloud components that have the potential to fail within a time frame that is specified by a timeout value. The computer system establishes a number of components that are allowed to fail during the time frame specified by the timeout value and further determines that the number of component failures within the time frame specified by the timeout value has exceeded the established number of components that are allowed to fail. In response, the computer system increases the timeout value by a specified amount of time to ensure that fewer than or equal to the established number of components fail within the time frame specified by the timeout value. | 07-10-2014 |

20140164329 | Dynamically Varying the Number of Database Replicas - Embodiments of the invention dynamically vary the number of replicas based on certain conditions to protect users from data loss. The size of the database is one condition that can be used to determine the number of replicas required. A database system may create three replicas. When the database size exceeds a first threshold, a fourth replica may be created. The fourth replica is maintained as long as the database size is above a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold. However, when the database shrinks below the second threshold, then the fourth replica is deleted. Using two different thresholds in this manner prevents the system from frequently cycling between three and four replicas. | 06-12-2014 |

20090164681 | Portable Module Interface with Timeout Prevention by Dummy Blocks - Methods and systems for working around the timeout limitations of physical interface standards for detachable modules. By use of dummy data blocks to keep the bus active, the bus timeout requirements (in either direction) can be spoofed, to thereby permit more complex processing operations to be performed, which otherwise might not fit reliably within the timeout period. This permits a memory system to execute applications or process data for a time period that may exceed the bus timeout of a particular specification. A controller in the memory system deasserts the ready signal and holds the bus connecting the computer system in a “busy” state until the memory system is about to timeout. During a write operation, the controller receives dummy data blocks from the computer system before the write bus timeout period expires, causing the bus timeout period to be reset. During a read operation, the controller sends dummy data blocks to the computer system before the read bus timeout period expires, causing the bus timeout period to be reset. | 06-25-2009 |
