Abstract: A method of determining compatibility of a virtual machine or virtual machine disk file with a host, including a storage host, is disclosed. A lookup matrix is created to provide a fast compatibility lookup. To create the lookup matrix, computing object properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of computing objects. The computing object properties include resource requirements of each of the plurality of computing objects. Further, host properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of hosts. The method further includes creating host logical groups of a subset of the plurality of hosts having substantially same host properties and creating a plurality of computing object logical groups of a subject of the plurality of computing objects having substantially same computing object properties. The lookup matrix answers whether each member of a selected computing object logical group can be transferred to a selected host logical group.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种确定虚拟机或虚拟机磁盘文件与包括存储主机在内的主机的兼容性的方法。 创建查找矩阵以提供快速兼容性查找。 为了创建查找矩阵，从多个计算对象中的每一个检索计算对象属性。 计算对象属性包括多个计算对象中的每一个的资源需求。 此外，从多个主机中的每个主机检索主机属性。 该方法还包括创建具有基本相同的主机属性的多个主机的子集的主机逻辑组，并且创建具有基本相同的计算对象属性的多个计算对象的对象的多个计算对象逻辑组。 查找矩阵回答所选择的计算对象逻辑组的每个成员是否可以被传送到所选择的主机逻辑组。

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage configuration of policy-based hypervisors are disclosed. An example method includes generating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a specification for a target configuration of a host based on a policy-based profile, the policy-based profile describing a source configuration of a source host at a virtualization software level; applying, by executing an instruction with the processor, the specification to the target configuration; and in response to an update to the policy-based profile, updating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the target configuration to place the host in compliance with the updated policy-based profile.
