Transient Analysis of Software Rejuvenation Policies in Virtualized System: Phase-Type Expansion Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: This paper presents a transient analysis of software rejuvenation with virtualization. In particular, we apply the phase-type expansion to analyze the pointwise availability of virtual-machine (VM) based software rejuvenation with two policies; cold-VM and warm-VM rejuvenation policies. The performance measures can be derived from the stochastic models described by labeled Markov regenerative stochastic Petri Nets (MRSPNs).

Availability Models for Virtualized Systems with Rejuvenation
As one of core technologies of software rejuvenation, analytical models provide a decision-making basis for implementing rejuvenation. This paper builds analytic models using stochastic reward nets with three different rejuvenation policies: non-rejuvenation, time-based rejuvenation, and time and load-based delay rejuvenation, and presents how system transits from one state into another. The re...
متن کاملAvailability Modeling and Analysis on Virtualized Clustering with Rejuvenation
Nowadays, more stringent compliance regulations, businesses of all sizes are required to implement security measures to ensure their systems and data are readily available and quickly recoverable. Virtualized clustering is inherently designed for maximum data integrity and minimal recovery time in the case of site failure. Virtualization allows multiple operating system instances to run concurr...
متن کاملAvailability Modeling and Analysis of a Single-Server Virtualized System with Rejuvenation
Availability of business-critical application servers is an issue of paramount importance that has received special attention from the industry and academia in the last decade. This paper presents two stochastic reward net based availability models for a single-server virtualized system. The similarity in both models is that software rejuvenation is applied at not only virtual machine monitor (...
متن کاملOptimum Software Aging Prediction and Rejuvenation Model for Virtualized Environment
Advancement in electronics and hardware has resulted in multiple softwares running on the same hardware. The result is multiuser, multitasking, multithreaded and virtualized environments. However, reliability of such high performance computing system depends both on hardware and software. For hardware, aging can be dealt with replacement. But, software aging needs to be dealt with different tec...
متن کاملModeling and Analysis of Load and Time Dependent Software Rejuvenation Policies
Due to repeated and potentially faulty usage of continuously running client-server type software systems by many clients, such software \ages" with time and eventually fails. Huang et. al. proposed a technique called \software rejuvenation" [3] in which the software is periodically stopped and then restarted in a \robust" state after proper maintenance. This \renewal" of software prevents, or a...
