Systems and methods for determining whether networked system migrations are successful are disclosed. In accordance with one method, a first set of properties of the networked system on a source platform in a first administrative domain is determined. Further, the method includes transferring the networked system to a destination platform in a second administrative domain. In addition, a second set of properties of the transferred system on the destination platform is determined, where the first and second sets of properties include functional properties and at least one of: performance properties, security properties or reliability properties. The method also includes outputting an indication that the transfer of the system to the destination platform is successful in response to determining that one or more of the properties of the second set are equivalent to corresponding properties of the first set.

The administrative work needed to configure a virtual cluster is a major obstacle that limits its adoption by customers. Moreover, an organization can spend much time and effort testing a cluster configuration and would like to deploy this cluster configuration at many sites. To address these problems, the disclosed embodiments provide a mechanism that facilitates migrating a virtual cluster from a first computer system to a second computer system. During operation, the system captures the virtual cluster configuration state, including application configuration state and executables. The system then instantiates this captured state on a second computer system, thus re-creating the virtual cluster state of the first computer system on the second computer system.

The present invention provides for systems and methods that recognize source and target devices and automatically identify, transfer, and convert user profiles, user settings, data, applications, and other information from the source device with its source operating system to the target device with its target operating system. The system surveys both the source device and the target device to ensure that each device has the appropriate resources and configuration to support the migration. Objects to be migrated are then identified, transferred to the target system and converted as necessary to create a similar environment on the target device as the previous environment on the source device. The post transfer integrity of the target device is then analyzed to ensure that the target system continues to work for its intended purpose and to further ensure that the migrated environment is also operational on the target device.

Systems and methods for systems migration are provided. A migration engine to perform system migration operations is provided. One or more processors may be configured to execute instructions to perform one or more of the following. Information indicative of one or more migration candidates corresponding to one or more system components in a source system may be collected. A migration strategy may be determined at least partially based on the information indicative of one or more migration candidates. The one or more migration candidates may be mapped to one or more system components of a target system. One or more scripts configured to copy system data and/or application data corresponding to the one or more system components in the source system for migration to the target system may be generated. One or more storage media coupled to the one or more processors may retain the instructions.

Data is migrated from an original host storage system to another replacement host storage system with minimal client impact on a network. An original host storage system is connected directly to the replacement host storage system which is in turn connected to the network. Data migration occurs while allowing a client to access data in the original host storage system. When access is requested, the replacement host storage system determines if it resides locally or in the original host storage system. Depending on where the data resides, either the replacement host storage system acts on it or obtains it from the original host storage system.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for migrating an operating system from a source computer to a destination computer.

Typical embodiments also include transferring the operating system from the source computer to the destination computer.

Migration management is provided for a shared memory logical partition migrating from a source system to a target system. The management approach includes managing migration of the logical partition from the source system to the target system by: transferring a portion of logical partition state information for the migrating logical partition from the source system to the target system by copying at the source system contents of a logical page of the migrating logical partition into a state record buffer for forwarding to the target system; forwarding the state record buffer to the target system; and determining whether the migrating logical partition is suspended at the source system, and if not, copying at the target system contents of the state record buffer to paging storage of the target system, the paging storage being external to physical memory managed by a hypervisor of the target system.

An automated system adaptation technique for computer systems, networks and subsystems generally and, more particularly, for data storage systems. The invention programmatically designs, configures and manages a system, such as a data storage system. This is accomplished by performing a sequence of steps in an iterative loop, including analyzing the operation of the system under a workload, generating a new design based on the analysis and migrating the existing system to the new design. By systematically exploring a large design space and developing designs based on analyses of the workload, the invention generates designs that are improved in comparison to conventional design techniques. By programmatically repeating these tasks, the invention causes the system to converge to one that supports the workload without being over-provisioned.

A system and method for data lifecycle management. In one embodiment, data is migrated from a source physical volume at a primary storage system to a target physical volume at an external storage system. The data from the source physical volume is copied to the target physical volume. When a request is received at the primary storage system from a server to access the data in the target physical volume, the server is added as an owner of the target physical volume, sent location information of the target physical volume, and allowed to access the target physical volume directly without passing through the primary storage system. The volume for migration may be determined based on not having been accessed for a specified period or having been specified by a user or an application to be migrated. Extents, objects and files may also be migrated.

The present is a system and method for preserving user account security privileges during a migration or re-direction of data from one network attached storage (“NAS”) system to another. Certain NAS systems authenticate user accounts using Kerberos Delegation Technology. In addition, some NAS systems feature the ability to constrain delegation to certain services. While effective in limiting access and promoting network security, this constrained delegation restricts the ability of a storage virtualization system to migrate or re-direct data to other NAS systems, especially if the other NAS system resides or is identified by a different domain name. The present invention is a system and method for storing user account credentials that work with the former NAS system, and providing a way to translate these credentials to a new NAS system with a new domain, permitting seamless data migration and re-direction across domains.

Data is migrated from a first CAS (contents addressed storage) system to a second CAS system. When the migration process is started, the second CAS system retrieves a list of the objects stored on the first CAS system. The second CAS system, based on the list, retrieves each object from the first CAS system, calculates an object ID for each object, and stores each object and the calculated object ID into the storage devices in the second CAS system. Methods for reducing downtime during the migration process are also disclosed.

The invention discloses a mobility management method and system for mobile edge computing. The method comprises the following steps that a change of an IP address of UE is acquired to obtain a changeof a bearing path, and a position change of the system UE is determined by analyzing a data packet; after target MEC acquires a bearing change of the system UE, the system UE is guaranteed to continuously use services of an MEC application in a process of moving in different MEC regions; the mobile edge computing application is migrated from system source MEC to system target MEC according to a migration decision; after the system migration is completed, the system target MEC carries out routing update and provides a local mobile edge computing service for the system UE; and the system targetMEC provides services for the system UE and sends a notification to the system source MEC simultaneously, and the system source MEC determines whether to be closed or not according to a use conditionof a system application. According to the method, the energy optimization can be effectively realized on the premise of guaranteeing the customer service quality.

An information processing system comprises a legacy application, a web services consumption copybook, and a set of application program interfaces for enabling the legacy application to access a selected web service via a web services consumption server. The web services consumption copybook represents data structures of the selected web service. The system can either connect to or include a set of web service proxies that each correspond to a web service available via a network connection. A web services consumption server is optionally used to route service requests from the application to the appropriate web service proxy. The system can also optionally include a developer tool for adapting legacy systems or environments to be able to consume web services using modern protocols thus allowing the migration of legacy subsystems to a networked loosely-coupled environment.

A method and system are provided for optimizing a query migrated from a source database system to a possibly dissimilar target database system, wherein the execution plan chosen for the migrated query is communicated from the source database system. Explain facilities of the source database system are used to gather information describing the execution plan used in the source database system for the migrated query. The explain information is then used to obtain plan directives for communicating the execution plan to the optimizer of the target system. If the obtained plan directives require auxiliary data structures, the source system catalogs are queried to determine the attributes of these auxiliary structures. These attributes are then used to create equivalent auxiliary structures in the target system. The migrated query is then optimized using the obtained plan directives, thus enabling database migration to preserve the investment made in tuning the execution plan on the source system
