    摘要: A method and corresponding apparatus is provided for determining the location of a configuration server being connected to a totally symmetric network infrastructure that does not exhibit any symmetry breakers on network level. The configuration server reaches a decision to determine its network-wide unique configuration in order to be able to serve controllers. This decision depends on the plug position of the configuration server under consideration and the assumption of plugging rules governing a “good” network infrastructure. The controllers periodically send network packets that will be marked if they traverse specific connection elements in the network. The origin and the path of a network packet can be determined. The decision making is based on a majority function based on the packets received by the configuration server. If a decision cannot be made, then errors in the cabling structure can be detected.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing reconfiguration of network elements after a failure of such an element. A method for managing network configuration data, i.e., usable for automatic reconfiguration of server computers (16A,16B), is disclosed in which location and current status information about a client or controller computer (14A . . . 14C) is sent out such that a respective server type computer (16A,16B) may receive it and automatically reconfigure itself after temporary disruption.

    摘要: Analyzing a distributed computer system, wherein said distributed computer system comprises at least one hardware unit to process data, an interconnection network and at least one processing unit to initialize said at least one hardware unit by using said interconnection network. According to the inventive method different trace files generated by components of said distributed computer system are post-analyzed and trace lines inside said different trace files belonging to the same action executed from at least one component inside said distributed computer system are identified by using unique key expressions, wherein an output file with context and/or time distribution information for different actions is generated by extracting trace lines representing cross process or cross controller calls and/or function calls for each related action based on an input file.
