SELF-HEALING DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM MATCHING SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES IN ALERT MESSAGES TO RELEVANT SCRIPTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874868 titled 'SELF-HEALING DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM MATCHING SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES IN ALERT MESSAGES TO RELEVANT SCRIPTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for automating the remediation of issues by matching failed operations to a script that can fix the problem without causing additional side effects. This minimizes service/data unavailability and data loss.

  • The method detects a backup operation alert message sent from a data manager or storage system.
  • The alert message encodes attributes affected by the backup operation.
  • A script library is scanned to identify scripts that match the alert message.
  • A score is generated for each script based on its relevance to the backup operation.
  • The script with the highest score is executed as it is most likely to remediate the issue causing the alert message.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Data management systems: This technology can be used in various data management systems to automate the remediation of issues and minimize service unavailability and data loss.
  • Storage systems: It can be implemented in storage systems to automatically fix problems and ensure data integrity.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Timely issue remediation: The technology automates the process of identifying and fixing issues, ensuring that problems are addressed promptly.
  • Minimizing service/data unavailability: By quickly resolving issues, the technology minimizes the unavailability of services and data.
  • Preventing data loss: The automated remediation process helps prevent data loss by fixing problems without causing additional side effects.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Efficiency: The automation of issue remediation saves time and effort by eliminating the need for manual intervention.
  • Data integrity: By promptly fixing issues, the technology ensures the integrity of data stored in data management and storage systems.
  • Service reliability: Minimizing service unavailability enhances the reliability of services provided by data management and storage systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments automate the timely remediation of issues by matching failed operations to a script that is configured to fix the problem or problems without causing additional side effects, thus minimizing unavailability of services/data and loss of data. A method detects a backup operation alert message sent from a data manager or storage system that encodes one or more attributes affected by the backup operation. A script library is scanned to identify scripts that match the alert message. A component generates a score for each script, where the score factors the relevance of the script to the backup operation, and executes the script with the highest score, as the script most likely to remediate the issue causing the alert message.
