Systems and methods for analysis of abnormal conditions in computing machines

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for detecting an anomalous condition in a virtual computing environment having a virtualization control system coupled to a physical server, disk drive, and networking resources, where the virtualization control system is configured to partition the physical resources into virtual resources including virtual processor, memory, and storage resources for a plurality of virtual servers. Contents of a plurality of virtual memory storage locations are determined, where the virtual memory storage locations span multiple virtual servers. A runtime state of the virtual environment is determined based on the contents of the virtual memory storage locations. The runtime state of the virtual environment is verified for correctness or compared with a baseline state to identify a deviation from the baseline state, and a corrective action is performed when the discrepancy meets a predetermined criteria.

1. A computer-implemented method of detecting an anomalous condition in a virtual computing environment having a virtualization control system coupled to a physical server, disk drive, and networking resources, wherein the virtualization control system is configured to partition the physical resources into virtual resources including virtual processor, memory, and storage resources for a plurality of virtual servers, comprising:
determining contents of a plurality of virtual memory storage locations, wherein the virtual memory storage locations span multiple virtual servers, wherein the contents of the virtual memory storage locations are accessed using operating system profiles, where an operating system profile is selected to determine contents of a particular memory storage location based upon an operating system of a virtual server associated with the particular memory storage location; determining a runtime state of the virtual environment based on the contents of the virtual memory storage locations; comparing the runtime state of the virtual environment with a baseline state to identify a deviation from the baseline state; and performing a corrective action when the deviation meets a predetermined criteria.
