Application: Utilizing device signals to improve the recovery of virtual machine host devices (Patent ID: US20240201767A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a host failure recovery system that efficiently determines the health of host devices by detecting power-draw failings. The system utilizes a multi-layer power failure detection model to analyze power-draw signals and usage characteristics of the host device, allowing for quick recovery of failing host devices. The method involves receiving power-draw signals, determining the health of the host device using rule-based and machine-learning layers, and initiating a recovery process if the device is deemed unhealthy.
The system further includes instructions for determining the health of multiple host devices in a data center, providing recovery instructions to the host device, and delaying recovery based on detecting mitigation events. Additionally, the power failure detection model considers usage characteristics such as hardware and software information, workload details, and power-draw thresholds to determine the health status of the host device accurately. The method aims to efficiently manage and recover failing host devices by leveraging power-draw signals and usage characteristics in a systematic and reliable manner.
