A host controller receives a request to perform an action in a virtual computing system. The host controller, creates a command to execute operations associated with the request and creates a job to monitor a progress of the operations of the command. As the command is executing the operations, the host controller receives an indication of the progress of the command execution, wherein the operations report the progress to the job each time an operation is completed.

Monitoring the progress of the processes executing in a virtualization environment

A virtualization manager receives a request to install a new feature in a first virtualization environment. The virtualization manager identifies a first database upgrade script corresponding to the new feature and compares a first identification number of the first database upgrade script to a second identification number of a second database upgrade script, the second database upgrade script previously run on a management database for the first virtualization environment. If the first identification number is less than the second identification number, the virtualization manager generates a copy of the first database upgrade script and names the copy of the first database upgrade script with a third identification number that is greater than the second identification number. The virtualization manager then runs the copy of the first database upgrade script on the management database.

Deploying database upgrades to multiple environments in a different order

A package manager receives a request to install a version of an application on a host server, the version of the application having an associated database script provided by database scripts package. The package manager determines a currently installed schema in a management database associated with the host server and compares the database script associated with the application to the currently installed schema in the management database. Prior to installing the version of the application, the package manager verifies that the database script is installed and updated to match the database schema and performs the database upgrade if required.

Matching database schema with application code using dependency management

A processing device receives a rule for execution by a rules engine and provides the rule to the rules engine. The processing device receives a request to provision a virtual machine (VM) having VM attributes. The processing device provides metrics of a plurality of physical hosts to the rules engine and the VM attributes to the rules engine. The processing device then receives. from the rules engine, an identification of one or more prioritized physical hosts of the plurality of physical hosts. The processing device provisions the VM on one of the one or more prioritized physical hosts.

Scheduling virtual machines using user-defined rules

A virtualization manager receives a request to perform a command in a virtual machine system and executes a plurality of transactions associated with the command, each of the plurality of transactions comprising one or more operations executed on entities in the virtual machine system. The virtualization manager commits changes made to the entities in the virtual machine system as a result of the plurality of transactions to a management database for the virtual machine system. In addition, the virtualization manager generates a business entity snapshot corresponding to a first transaction of the plurality of transactions, the business entity snapshot comprising state information for one or more entities in the virtual machine system affected by the first transaction.

Database change compensation after a transaction commit

A lightweight directory access (LDAP) broker receives user information associated with a query for information in an LDAP repository. The query may be in an abstraction format. The LDAP broker determines a computing domain in view of the user information and retrieves a configuration file associated with the computing domain. The configuration file comprises a mapping for the query between an abstraction format and a vendor specific format. The LDAP broker converts the query to the vendor specific format in view of the mapping in the configuration file.

Schema and query abstraction for different LDAP service providers

A computer system generates a clone of a virtual machine from a point-in-time snapshot backup by collapsing metadata snapshots and storage snapshots into a virtual machine image. The computer system identifies a clone request for a virtual machine, the clone request comprising a point-in-time reference, retrieves at least one metadata snapshot and at least one storage snapshot based on the point-in-time reference, combines the at least one metadata snapshot and the at least one storage snapshot into a virtual machine image, and provisions a new virtual machine based on the virtual machine image.
