Examples of systems and methods are described for selecting firmware versions of multiple components for a distributed computing system (e.g., a cluster). Multiple selection interfaces may be presented to a user who may select at least one firmware version of at least one component. Based on the user selection(s), a service manager may evaluate firmware component dependencies and identify compatible firmware versions of other components for installation. In this manner, a set of firmware versions may be installed and/or upgraded which may be different than a current set of versions and/or a set of versions recommended in a wholly automated manner.

Service managers and firmware version selections in distributed computing systems

Disclosed herein are related to a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for backing up a virtual machine. In one aspect, an instruction to store a requested state of a virtual machine is received. Configurations of the virtual machine in the requested state are determined, and a configuration data indicative of the determined configurations of the virtual machine is generated. The configuration data is stored. Another instruction to load the virtual machine in the requested state from a plurality of states of the virtual machine may be received. The stored configuration data indicative of the configurations of the virtual machine in the requested state may be retrieved. The configurations of the virtual machine in the requested state may be identified based on the retrieved configuration data, and the virtual machine in the requested state may be loaded according to the identified configurations.
