摘要:
A mechanism is provided to detect that a dynamic migration of a virtual environment is in progress or has been executed during a hardware or software scan without requiring instrumentation of applications running within the virtual machine. The mechanism relies on a particular sequencing and usage of application programming interfaces and commands that scanning technology provides, associated with the modularity of the scans and on the external virtual machine enabler component running on the host. The mechanism may detect a dynamic migration and take proper actions based on the system configuration. The actions may include discarding the output of the scan executed across a dynamic migration and repeat the scan. The actions may also include notifying the initialization subsystem of the non-migration-safe application to execute a script or program to address migration safety issues. One particular program or script may be an agent ID regeneration program or script.

摘要:
A method for determining a software configuration in a computer system having a plurality of devices which can communicate with a central server and a one or more shared file systems, the method including the acts of determining, by each of the plurality of devices, which of the one or more shared file systems the corresponding device is mounted to; designating for each of the one or more shared file systems a device which is mounted thereto to perform a scanning operation on the corresponding shared file system, the device being selected from the plurality of devices; scanning, by each designated device, the one or more shared file systems that the corresponding device has been designated to scan so as to identify software products on the corresponding shared file systems that correspond with the catalog information; and receiving, from each designated device, results of the scanning for further processing.
摘要:
A method for allowing license tools to detect the installation of applications that are not physically installed on a machine when an Application Virtualization Environments is used. In one embodiment of the invention, the license tools may further detect application usage. In one embodiment of the invention, a virtual installation signature may be defined. Agents in a target computer may be used to compare the virtual installation signature of an application with a localized list of potential applications to detect whether the software is installed on the target computer.
摘要:
The invention proposes a solution (200) for controlling logical guest machines (110), such as virtual machines or logical partitions, in a system management application (and especially in a licensing application). For this purpose, there is provided an enabler (220;270) running in a physical host machine (115) implementing the guest machines or in a corresponding console (125); this enabler gathers information relating to the hardware configuration of the host machine (which information is not available inside the guest machine). The hardware configuration information is then passed to a licensing agent (235) of the guest machine; for example, the desired result may be achieved by means of dedicated variables or registry keys (260) that are accessible without providing any user credentials. The licensing agent directly gathers other information, for example, indicating the software products (230) that are used by the guest machine. The available information is then transmitted by the licensing agent to a runtime server (105) for the correct management of the guest machine.

摘要:
A method, data processing system, and computer program product for applying a setting. A request for a set of resources is received. The request is to use the set of resources over a network connection. An address associated with a device from the request is identified. A geographic location of the device is identified based on the address. A set of settings for the set of resources is identified based on the geographic location of the device. The set of settings is applied to the set of resources.
