Techniques for action execution based on management controller received action requests are provided. In one aspect, a utility program running under the control of an operating system on a server computer may retrieve an indication of an action request. The action request may be stored in a management controller accessible storage. Storage of the action request may not require operating system administrator credentials. The action specified in the request may be executed by the utility program.

Action execution based on management controller action request

Example implementations relate to calculating a weighted efficiency index. An example implementation includes fetching a public resource utilization metric and a public cloud resources cost. A private resource utilization metric is collected and a private cloud resources cost is calculated. A weighted efficiency index is calculated from the public cloud resources cost, the private cloud resources cost, or any combination thereof, and a weighted deviation from an ideal resource utilization percentage. The weighted efficiency index may be displayed on a user interface.

Efficiency indexes

Mass storage is allocated to a logical server. The logical server is deployed to a real server.

Allocating mass storage to a logical server

A method, and a corresponding system, provide for configuring nodes in a computer system according to a user's intent. The computer system includes one or more nodes. The method includes receiving a configuration command from a user, including an identification of one or more of the nodes to be configured; determining available programs for configuring the one or more nodes; determining requirements for applying the available programs to the one or more nodes and displaying the requirements to the user for selection; receiving user selections from the displayed requirements; and executing the requirements to configure the one or more nodes.

Specification and configuration of management intent

A system is operatively coupled to a remote computer via a network. The system comprises service processing logic and a server executing a virtual machine. The service processing logic controls the virtual machine as directed by the remote computer.

Remote control of a plurality of virtual machines using actions facilitated through a graphic user interface

In one embodiment, an image formatting utility is embodied in code, stored and executed apart from any device that it retrieves images from, that, in response to receiving an image request from a device management tool: 1) retrieves an image from a device that is a target of the image request, the image illustrating at least a portion of the device; 2) retrieves component presence and status information for the device; 3) formats the image in response to the component presence and status information; and 4) returns the formatted image to the device management tool. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

System, method and utility to format images retrieved from a device

An administrator selects a representation of a logical server on a display. The logical server is stored in a logical-server database. The logical-server database stores logical-servers and specifies their resource requirements and network identities. The logical servers are deployable to physical and/or virtual real servers. A logical-server manager program responds to the selection by displaying a warning symbol. The administrator interacts with the warning symbol, and the logical-server manager program responds by displaying a message specifying that the real server is unsuitable or impaired as a host for deployment of the logical server.

Warnings for logical-server target hosts

A method for executing a web application comprising sending at least one query to at least one data source. After receiving data in response to the query, a web page is created having separate portions. A first of said portions provides for displaying received data, while a second of said portions provides for displaying a first placeholder for yet to be received data. A refresh code is inserted in the second portion. The web page is then transmitted.

Display of web page with available data

The present invention provides a diagnostic method for a centrally managed computer system. The method provides central diagnostic expertise regarding central management software used for managing a system. The method further provides for managed software that integrates with the central management software; the managed software includes its own diagnostic expertise. The method further provides for importing the managed diagnostic expertise and combining it with central diagnostic expertise to define collective diagnostic expertise.

Diagnostics for centrally managed computer system

A method of computer system provisioning comprises defining a container as a plurality of computer system resources sufficient to run a workload, defining a workload as a set of processes executable on the container and monitored as a single entity, and modeling the container and/or the workload as a template that contains at least some of information for deploying the container and/or the workload.

Computer system provisioning using templates

In one embodiment, an image conversion utility is embodied in code that, in response to receiving an image request from a device management tool: 1) retrieve an image from a device that is a target of the image request, the image illustrating at least a portion of the device; 2) convert the image to a format supported by the device management tool; and 3) return the converted image to the device management tool. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

System, device, method and utility to convert images retrieved from a device to a format supported by a device management tool

In one embodiment, in response to receiving an image request, a computer-implemented method: 1) retrieves a vector image from a device that is a target of the image request, the vector image illustrating at least a portion of the device; 2) determines a locale for display of the vector image; 3) selects a locale tag from among a number of locale tags stored within the vector image, in accord with the determined locale; and 4) formats the vector image in accord with display data associated with the selected locale tag. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Utility, method and device providing vector images that may be formatted for display in different locales
