An example method for a first host, being an owner of an object stored in a virtual storage area network (vSAN) cluster, to perform encryption and decryption operations during a rekey in the vSAN cluster is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first encryption key and a first key identifier (ID) of the first encryption key; transmitting the first key ID and an active key index to a second host; using the first encryption key to perform encryption and decryption operations; and in response to a determination of receiving a key change notification from a master node of the vSAN cluster, terminating a connection with the second host.

Method and system to perform encryption and decryption operations during rekey in virtualized computing environment

System and method for managing distributed storage objects for host unavailability in a distributed storage system uses at least one of a crash indicator in a specific on-disk block and a paused object indicator for a distributed storage object to determine whether to perform data recovery for the distributed storage object. When the crash indicator is set or the paused object indicator implies that the distributed storage object is a paused object, the distributed storage object is left as a paused object without perform the data recovery for the distributed storage object. When the crash indicator is unset and the paused object indicator implies that the distributed storage object is not a paused object, the data recovery for the distributed storage object is performed.

Limiting blast radius for critical on-disk data corruptions in a distributed storage system

Some embodiments provide a method for updating a core allocation among processes of a gateway datapath executing on a gateway computing device having multiple cores. The gateway datapath processes include a first set of data message processing processes to which a first set of the cores are allocated and a second set of processes to which a second set of the cores are allocated in a first core allocation. Based on data regarding usage of the cores, the method determines a second core allocation that allocates a third set of the cores to the first set of processes and a fourth set of the cores to the second set of processes. The method updates a load balancing operation to load balance received data messages over the third set of cores rather than the first set of cores. The method reallocates the cores from the first allocation to the second allocation.
