摘要:
The present invention provides for resource property aggregation. A set of new instances is received from one or more providers. For each new instance in the set of new instances, a determination is made as to whether the new instance represents a same resource as at least one other instance. Responsive to determining that the new instance represents the same resource as another instance, a set of properties associated with the new instance and with the at least one other instance are identified. Each property from the new instance is compared to an associated property in the at least one other instance using a set of precedence rules. At least one property value is identified from either the new instance or the at least one other instance. An aggregate instance is then generated that represents the resource using the identified property values.

Methods, apparatus, and products for managing computer resources in a distributed computing system are disclosed that include registering, in a configuration management database by a discovery module in response to a modification of a resource in a resource container, the resource in association with a configuration management database identifier, the resource characterized by a resource type and a resource identification, the resource container including a manageability endpoint characterized by a manageability endpoint reference; and managing the resource by a management module in dependence upon a resource management policy and the manageability endpoint reference, the resource management policy including management actions for the resource.

A graphical user interface (GUI) in which a user may navigate through states of an information technology (IT) management process by selecting or deselecting the selectable objects in the GUI. When the user selects a first object in a first display window of the GUI, the first display window is changed to represent a first state of the IT management process based on the selected object, and the second display window is changed to show computing objects and relationships associated with the selected object. When the user selects another associated object in the first display window, the first display window is changed to represent a second state of the IT management process based on the selected object, and the and the second display window is changed to show computing objects and relationships associated with the selected object.
摘要:
A mechanism is provided for formulating a deployment plan for a composite application. A set of topologies is provided for each component of a set of identified components of the composite application to be deployed. For a selected topology for each component of the set of identified components, a set of target computing resources are identified that meet, Within a predetermined threshold, a set of prerequisites for each component in the set of identified components. A list of hosts associated with the set of target computing resources that meet the identified topology is displayed. For a selected host for each component of the set of identified components, the set of target computing resources for the selected hosts is displayed. A deployment plan along with a set of installations or upgrades required for each of the selected target computing resources is then displayed.
摘要:
A mechanism for configuring and scheduling logical discovery processes in a data processing system is provided. A discovery engine communicates with information providers to collect discovery data. An information provider is a software component whose responsibility is to discover resources and relationships between the resources and write their representations in a persistent store. Discovery directives are used to coordinate the execution of information providers.
