摘要： A technique for efficiently processing resource allocation requests in an on-demand environment. When a user logs into a resource allocation request manager, various resource requirements entered are immediately sent to a remote resource manager to allow for dynamic, real-time feedback to the user who is entering the resource requirements as to any issues or concerns regarding the requested resource(s) or plug-in element(s), such as lack of availability. The user can thus reconfigure or otherwise modify the various resource requests based on this feedback to optimize the overall resource allocation request. This also allows an organization providing services such as computer hosting services to re-allocate resources in advance if a new resource request would exceed a service level agreement outlined in advance with a customer, thereby improving resource planning in a data center environment. In addition, the dynamic feedback on the new resource request that exceeds a service level agreement can be used to develop a new service level agreement or temporary service offer that addresses the unique resource condition.

摘要： Setting up management and monitoring programs on one or more servers is simplified. When a pre-selected monitoring/management vendor is to be used, a general-purpose agent is installed after the vendor agent is installed and can determine the contents of the server(s), then manage additional setup for the vendor agent, such as configurations, best practices, and license management. When the user has not yet determined which vendor or vendors to utilize, a vendor-neutral agent will determine the contents of the server(s) and can then choose between various vendor programs, utilizing weightings according to the strengths and weaknesses of each vendor, as well as user preferences, to determine the best vendor or vendors to select. Any needed vendor agents are then downloaded by the vendor-neutral agent and installed. The vendor-neutral agent also includes the capabilities of the general-purpose agent and manages other setup needs, such as configurations, best practices, and license management.

摘要： An improved method, apparatus, and computer instructions for installing software on a data processing system. The process identifies files for the data processing system to be provisioned and to form identified files. The identified files are located using a location map. The location map identifies a set of files and identifies each node in a network data processing system on which a file in the set of files is located. The identified files are transferred to the data processing system from the plurality of nodes in the network data processing system using the location map to form installation files. The data processing system is provisioned using the installation files.

摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus and computer usable program code for dynamically changing allocation policy in a host grid to support a local grid. The host grid is operated according to a set of allocation policies. The set of allocation policies corresponds to a predetermined resource allocation relationship between the host grid and a local grid. Based on the set of allocation policies, at least one resource on the host grid is allocated to the local grid. A monitoring agent is then used to monitor one of the local grid and both the local grid and the host grid for a change in a parameter. A change in the parameter may result in a change in the set of allocation policies.

摘要： Generating a description of a test grid environment for use in a grid computing environment. A database containing a number of test snapshots is generated. Each test snapshot reflects a previously used grid test environment, and each test snapshot includes a grid configuration used to implement a particular test scenario for a particular application. When a new, desired, test scenario is generated, a description of the new test scenario is entered as a query to the database. Based on the information in the database, a proposed test grid environment description is produced.

摘要： A system and method for using hierarchical policy levels for distribution of software in a computer network. In one embodiment, computers of the network are arranged into a hierarchy. A management policy server with access to the network queries the hierarchy to identify computers at or below its own level within the hierarchy. Once a set of computers is identified, software programs, updates or policies are distributed, bypassing human intervention.

摘要： A system, method and computer instructions are disclosed for routing system management information to entities or parties who are responsible for responding to the management information. If a management agent or managed resource associated with a computer-based management system desires to send event or notification information to an entity, party or person responsible for responding to the event or notification information, the management agent or managed resource can determine an identity of an entity, party or person responsible for responding to the event or notification from a prioritized “on-call list”. The management agent or managed resource can then determine the availability of the identified entity, party or person from a Presence Network, and send the event or notification information to a resource where the identified entity, party or person is currently “present”. The presence information obtained from the Presence Network can be used by the management agent or managed resource to determine which of the responsible entities, parties or persons are available at run-time. The management agent or managed resource can then forward the event or notification information to the most appropriate responsible entity, party or person.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer program product for monitoring the performance of a system. The mechanism of the present invention provides an interface in the form of a graphical user interface (GUI) to communicate multiple layers of system performance data to an operator. An operator monitors this display of information and uses it to determine how to adjust the system to optimize system performance. This mechanism of the present invention provides immediate feedback to an operator by displaying a trail of metric points, wherein the metric points indicate the status of system performance over a period of time. In this manner, the display mechanism of the present invention immediately conveys to an operator whether the system is operating within predefined margins, the results of performance adjustments made to the system, as well as predictions or trends for the system.
