A database performance monitor monitors performance of a distributed database, identifies a database performance issue for the distributed database, determines from a distributed virtual network mechanism which physical networks are related to the database performance issue, determines a potential solution to the database performance issue that changes configuration of the distributed database, and applies the potential solution by automatically changing configuration of the distributed database without intervention of a user to address the database performance issue.

Automatically addressing performance issues in a distributed database

A network intrusion detection system (NIDS) works in conjunction with a distributed virtual switch fabric to provide enhanced network intrusion detection in a way that does not require as much human intervention, autonomically adjusts to hardware changes in the network, and responds much more quickly than known network intrusion detection systems. The NIDS accesses network information from the distributed virtual switch fabric, which gives the NIDS access to a virtual view that includes hardware information for all networking devices in the network. This allows the NIDS to automatically determine network topology, update itself as hardware in the network is added or changed, and promptly take automated service actions in response to detected network intrusions. The result is a NIDS that is easier to configure, maintain, and use, and that provides enhanced network security.

Techniques are disclosed for conveying which hardware components of a logically partitioned computer system are assigned to a selected logical partition of the computer system. Partition information for the computer system is received. Further, a request is received from a user to view which hardware components of the computer system are assigned to a selected logical partition of the computer system. Based on the received partition information, one or more hardware components are determined that are assigned to the selected logical partition. Based on the determined hardware components, a virtual model of the computer system is generated that visually distinguishes hardware components assigned to the selected logical partition from hardware components not assigned to the selected logical partition. The virtual model is output responsive to the request.

A butchering tool including a handle and a bar extending from the handle. A claw is affixed to the bar remote from the handle. The claw includes a primary hook curving downwardly and rearwardly toward the bottom of the handle and a notch in the top thereof. The claw also includes a secondary hook that curves upwardly and rearwardly toward the top of the handle and that partially closes the notch.
