METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING PRE-ARRIVAL OF DEVICE OR COMPONENT FAILURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660236 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING PRE-ARRIVAL OF DEVICE OR COMPONENT FAILURE'

Simplified Explanation

This method describes a process for migrating data from one system to another. The migration is divided into several checkpoints. The method checks if any of these checkpoints have been reached and obtains a health score for the source system based on this. If the health score meets a certain condition, an action is taken to prevent any data loss during the migration. If the health score does not meet the condition, no action is taken to prevent data loss.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method including: initiating a migration of data from a source system to a destination system, the migration of data being configured to proceed based on a checkpoint set that includes a plurality of checkpoints; detecting whether any of the checkpoints in the checkpoint set is reached; obtaining a health score for the source system, the health score being obtained in response to any of the checkpoints being reached; if the health score satisfies a condition, executing an action to prevent a loss of data that is being migrated; and if the health score does not satisfy the condition, abstaining from executing the action to prevent the loss of data.
