Abstract
Troubleshooting virtual environment deployment based on two level file system signatures, in one aspect, may include creating a first level file system signature including a set of file names of files in an image of a virtual machine taken at a point in time and associated status of the files as compared with an image of the virtual machine taken at a preceding point in time. A second level file system signature may be created using file content differences of the files having modified status in the set of file names. The first level file system signature may be compared with a first level file system signature pattern associated with one or more previous deployment of the same software and related to the same point in time. Optionally, the second level file system signature may be compared with a second level file system signature pattern.
