摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for an Internet protocol (IP) address resolution process during an original switch stack fragmentation, by employing a secondary communication link. A method for IP address resolution of a fragmented switch stack over a secondary communication link (e.g., an I2C bus) can include detecting a first switch stack fragment by a first stack master, detecting a second switch stack fragment by a second stack master, disabling all switches of the first switch stack fragment and the second switch stack fragment, connecting the first stack master and the second stack master to a stack management module via a secondary communication link, and electing one stack fragment to use the IP address of the original switch stack based on at least one election criteria. The method can further include instructing the stack master of the elected one stack fragment to power up the switches of the elected one stack fragment.

Establishing relationships among elements in a computing system, the computing system including one or more servers, one or more switches, the one or more servers and one or more switches forming one or more local area networks and also forming one or more virtual local area networks, including: identifying, for each server in the computing system, physical topology data; identifying, for each server in the computing system, virtual topology data; and creating, in dependence upon the physical topology data and the virtual topology data, a system map.

In a computer-implemented method, a port profile is associated with a virtual machine that requires a VLAN connection to an external network through an edge port. The port profile includes a VLAN identification associated with the VLAN connection and an edge port identification associated with the edge port. The method further comprises deploying the virtual machine to a target physical server, wherein both the target physical server is in communication with a network switch comprising the edge port. After deploying the virtual machine to the target physical server, the virtual machine is automatically provided with a VLAN connection to the external network in accordance with the port profile associated with the virtual machine. Similarly, a port profile may be associated with a virtual machine as it is created and deployed to a server, wherein the VLAN connection is configured according to the associated port profile.

Visual interfaces or program products provide user interfaces for setting tabs in a data processing system including a visual measurement ruler with a ruler or measurement scale which is laterally extendable and retractable to match a desired spatial location on the display window responsive to a user's input. The number of columns associated with the ruler remains constant whether the ruler is extended or retracted. The ruler also includes a plurality of tabs disposed at certain positions along the length of the ruler. The tabs are individually moveable along the length of the ruler corresponding to a desired tab setting and the tabs can be individually removed or added according to a user's input. The ruler is moveable over the desktop display such that a user can overlay and visually align with a selected document to define tab settings thereon.

In a computer-implemented method, a port profile is associated with a virtual machine that requires a VLAN connection to an external network through an edge port. The port profile includes a VLAN identification associated with the VLAN connection and an edge port identification associated with the edge port. The method further comprises migrating the virtual machine from a first physical server to a second physical server, wherein both the first and second physical servers are in communication with a network switch comprising the edge port. After migrating the virtual machine to the second physical server, the virtual machine is automatically provided with a VLAN connection to the external network in accordance with the port profile associated with the virtual machine. Similarly, a port profile may be associated with a virtual machine as it is created and deployed to a server, wherein the VLAN connection is configured according to the associated port profile.
