20100169703 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AVAILABILITY PARAMETERS OF RESOURCE IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A system and associated method for determining an incident of a resource in a computing environment. An event pertaining to the resource is processed by a system automation module. The event is represented as an associated event data having parameters of a target state, a target state prior to the event, a current state, and a current state prior to the event. First, the target state is compared to the target state prior to the event to assure that the target state is steady. Wherein a determination that the event is an incident cannot be made after comparing the target state and the current state, the system automation module compares the current state to the current state prior to the event. Upon determining that the event is an incident, the event data is marked and stored in a repository. | 07-01-2010 |
20100169720 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING RECOVERY TIME FOR INTERDEPENDENT RESOURCES IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A system and associated method for determining a recovery time for a resource in a heterogeneous computing environment comprising interdependent resources. A graph for the resource representing all sequence dependencies and all group relations are created. The recovery time may be a cumulative startup time or a cumulative shutdown time of the resource considering interdependencies of the resource to other resources. The recovery time for all support resources having sequence dependencies with the resource is calculated and each node representing the support resources are removed from the graph. Then the recovery time for all member resources left in the graph that have group relations with the resource is calculated per a group type of the resource. The recovery time for the resource is a sum of the recovery time of all support resources, the recovery time of all member resources, and a unit recovery time of the resource. | 07-01-2010 |
20110270802 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHANGES OF REPLICATION DIRECTIONS IN A MULTI-SITE DISASTER RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT FOR HIGH AVAILABLE APPLICATION - The invention relates to a method of controlling the replication status and direction of a storage device in accordance to its availability state. This overall situation of the storage device is being related to the availability state of applications which have a viable dependency to the storage device | 11-03-2011 |
20120089862 | DETERMINING RECOVERY TIME FOR INTERDEPENDENT RESOURCES IN HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Provided are techniques for determining a recovery time for a resource in a heterogeneous computing environment comprising interdependent resources. A graph for the resource representing all sequence dependencies and all group relations are created. The recovery time may be a cumulative startup time or a cumulative shutdown time of the resource considering interdependencies of the resource to other resources. The recovery time for all support resources having sequence dependencies with the resource is calculated and each node representing the support resources are removed from the graph. Then the recovery time for all member resources left in the graph that have group relations with the resource is calculated per a group type of the resource. The recovery time for the resource is a sum of the recovery time of all support resources, the recovery time of all member resources, and a unit recovery time of the resource. | 04-12-2012 |
20120260128 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CHANGES OF REPLICATION DIRECTIONS IN A MULTI-SITE DISASTER RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT FOR HIGH AVAILABLE APPLICATION - A running of an application resource of a first site of at least two sites is stopped from accessing a storage device of the first site. A running of a replication resource is brought to a stop. The replication resource is configured to control a replication of data between the storage device on the first site on which data from the running application resource on the first site are stored to the storage device on the second site. A replication request is submitted to the automation engine for changing a replication direction to run from the second site to the first site. The application resource is started on the second site only after changing the replication direction to start from the storage device on the second site instead of from the storage device of the first site. | 10-11-2012 |
