Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include defining, for a computer system, one or more system tests, and performing each of the system tests on the computer system. Each of the system tests includes one or more system commands, and in some embodiments, a given system test may be performed by executing one or more system commands while the computer system simultaneously processes additional system commands that perform input/output operations. Upon detecting a failure of a given system command in a given system test to execute correctly, the computer system can be configured to suppress execution of the given system command. In some embodiments, the computer system includes a hypervisor controlling a virtual machine configured as a node of a software defined storage system, and the failure can be a disruption of the hypervisor or the virtual machine.
