A method of processing requests from users of a computer system having software and hardware components, wherein each request includes a description of an software or hardware issue, includes: upon receiving a first request, performing content matching using a first instance of the data model to determine if the issue described in the first request has been previously encountered; executing a machine learning algorithm against a new data set to update a second instance of the data model; after the second instance of the data model has been updated, switching the data model used for performing content matching from the first to the second instance of the data model; and upon receiving a second request after the switch, performing content matching using the second instance of the data model to determine if the issue described in the second request has been previously encountered.

Offloading techniques to assist a hypervisor with VM data migration between storage devices are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method to offload live data migration from hypervisors includes migrating snapshots from a source device to a destination device, where the snapshots are associated with a virtual machine (VM) being migrated from a source device to a destination device. The method includes requesting a hypervisor to take a hypervisor snapshot. The method includes taking a storage array-based snapshot after requesting the hypervisor to take the hypervisor snapshot, and requesting the hypervisor to migrate live data from the source device to the destination device including by using the hypervisor snapshot to offload hypervisor live data migration. Hypervisor offload can be performed for various hypervisors and protocols including vSphere Storage APIs Array Integration (VAAI) and Remote offloaded data transfer (ODX).

A recommendation engine evaluates different combinations of available versions of different software images that make up a virtualization software to be installed in a host computer, and recommends one or more of the valid combinations for installation or upgrade. Upon acceptance of the recommended image, a software specification that expresses the desired state of the virtualization software is updated to include versions of the different software images that are in the recommended valid combination.

VM data migration between storage devices is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of VM data migration includes determining snapshot data and live data corresponding to the VM based on a request to migrate a VM from a source device to a destination device. The method migrates the snapshot data from the source device to the destination device including by setting up a migration path and creating a migration configuration in the source device. The method requests a hypervisor to migrate the live data from the source device to the destination device. The method removes the migration path, the migration configuration, and snapshot data from the source device.
