INVARIANTS-BASED LEARNING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FAILURE DIAGNOSIS IN LARGE SCALE COMPUTING SYSTEMS

摘要

A method system for diagnosing a detected failure in a computer system, compares a failure signature of the detected failure to an archived failure signature contained in a database to determine if the archived failure signature matches the failure signature of the detected failure. If the archived failure signature matches the failure signature of the detected failure, an archived solution is applied to the computer system that resolves the detected failure, the archived solution corresponding to a solution used to resolve a previously detected computer system failure corresponding to the archived failure signature in the database that matches the detected failure.
