    Abstract: Computer-aided computer system configuration techniques for adding new computing resources to an existing set of computing resources. A method embodiment commences upon identifying an existing computing system having a first set of configuration parameters. A second computing system having a second set of configuration parameters is deployed. A user interface is provided to accept user input comprising a location and protocol to access the existing computing system. Syntactical and semantic differences between the configuration parameters of the existing computing system and those of the newly added set are identified. The identified differences are analyzed to generate a parameter map that relates the existing set of configuration parameters to the second set of configuration parameters and vice-versa. Relationships that are codified in the parameter map are validated through user interactions. The second set of configuration parameters are modified or augmented such that parameters can be synchronized between the two computing systems.

    Abstract: An apparatus for computing node mapping within a server rack, and a method therefore, are discussed. The apparatus includes a processor configured to control a transceiver to receive a request to register computing nodes installed in a server rack; provide, in response to determining that a scan of a respective node tag of a computing node of the computing nodes installed in a server rack is different than a particular order, an alert indicating an out of order scan; add, in response to determining that the scan of the respective node tag of the computing node complies with the particular order, respective node information received via the respective node tag to server rack node information; and after completing the iterative scan of the respective node tags of the computing nodes installed in the server rack, provide the server rack node information to the administrator system.

    Abstract: A method of discovering geographic locations of one or more data centers of a data center cluster. The method includes receiving a request for geolocation data of a first data center of a data center cluster; identifying a host machine of a second data center of the data center cluster based on the request. The method includes sending a discovery request to the host machine of the second data center. The discovery request configured to cause operations comprising generating, by the host machine of the second data center, discovery data associated with a host machine of a first data center. The method includes generating display data based on the discovery data. The method includes sending the display data to the user device. The display data configured to cause the user device to display the geolocation data of the first data center in a window of the application.
