Failure-model-driven repair and backup
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
a failure model operated by the processor and configured to generate failure predictions associated with a node, the failure model having been built based on node data received from the node and based on comparisons of the failure predictions to other node data received from the node subsequent to those failure predictions to determine whether failures occurred;
a state machine operated by the processor and configured to select repair or backup actions to perform on the node based on the failure predictions, the repair or backup actions being associated with the failure predictions by one or more rules or definitions of the state machine; and
memory coupled to the processor and storing at least one of the failure model or the state machine.

Abstract
A predictive failure model is used to generate a failure prediction associated with a node. A repair or backup action may also be determined to perform on the node based on the failure prediction.

5. A method comprising:
-
utilizing, by a computing device, a failure model to generate a failure prediction associated with a node, the failure model built based at least in part on comparisons of failure predictions to node data received from the node at times subsequent to the failure predictions to determine whether failures occurred; and determining, by the computing device, a repair or backup action to perform on the node based on the failure prediction. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
