A disclosed method deploys a containerized health monitoring service that includes an embedded health monitoring service script. The containerized service generates a secure shell (SSH) key pair including an SSH public key and an SSH private key. A management account of the containerized service is registered with a centralized account service. An SSH control module of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) manager retrieves from the account service the management account of the containerized service. The control module visits the containerized service to retrieve the SSH public key and stores the SSH public key to a target resource such as a host or virtual machine to enable any instance of the containerized service to remotely execute the health monitoring service script on the target resource with an SSH command.

Containerized service with embedded script tool for monitoring health state of hyper-converged infrastructure resources

An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor. The information handling system may be configured to: receive health information for a plurality of node information handling systems; determine, based on the received health information, a score for each of the plurality of node information handling systems; determine an upgrade ordering for the plurality of node information handling systems based on the respective scores for the plurality of node information handling systems; and cause the node information handling systems to perform an upgrade procedure according to the upgrade ordering.

Life cycle management success rate

A method and system for predicting upgrade completion times in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) environments. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail applying machine learning to forecast these upgrade completion times based on select static and dynamic indicators deduced to significantly impact the performance of upgrade processes across node clusters in HCI environments.

Method and system for predicting upgrade completion times in hyper-converged infrastructure environments

The present disclosure provides for managing a software function. The system determines that a service instance is to call the software function and, in response, initiates a call request for the software function to a management component The call request includes identification information and an operation parameter of the software function, with the software function shared by a service instance and at least one further service instance deployed and stored in a converged infrastructure architecture independently from the service instance and the at least one further service instance. The system receives a response to the call request from the management component, with the response including a result of execution of the software function based on the operation parameters. The system prevents the need to deploy copies of a common software function of service instances, conserving performance and storage space, and enabling more convenient maintenance, updates, and software function calls.
