The present invention relates to a global management system for a multimodule, multiprocessor machine (PK). The system is characterized in that it comprises an independent module (SM) dedicated to the global management of a plurality of first modules (Mthrough Mn), the independent module (SM) being connected to a management tool (BUMP) for each of the first modules (Mthrough Mn) by a first specific link supporting a given communication protocol that makes it possible to manage each of the first modules at the startup of the machine, during the running of the machine, and after the machine stops running, the independent module (SM) being connected to each of the first modules via a second link, and the independent module also being globally connected to the multimodule machine (PK) via a physical link of a local area network (LAN) linked to at least two of the first modules (Mand M).

Management system for multimodule multiprocessor machines

A process, a tool and a computer for analyzing and locating hardware failures in a computing machine storing information on operational errors generated by the various sensible hardware components of the machine, characterized in that it consists of creating a man/machine interface (I) through which the components and the rules for interpreting errors are described in a structural language and used by the machine as external parameters in correlation with the error information to detect the malfunctioning component or components. The preventive process is particularly adopted for computer hardware maintenance.

Process and tool for analyzing and locating hardware failures in a computer

The present invention relates to a process and system for real-time monitoring of a data processing system for administration and maintenance support of the data processing system in the operating phase, which data processing system communicates in a client/server mode through interconnected networks (W), each client (WCL) comprising a browser (BRO) which supports a high-level hypertext language. Intelligent agents are installed in each server (WSE) for running, after the phrasing of client requests, a check on the status of each server, measuring and storing parameter information indicating the status and the behavior of the server at a given moment, which parameter information is automatically collected as a function of domains examined and systematically processed by the server so as to be offered in the form of presentation reports contained in dynamically evolving pages while the client's browser accesses the dynamic pages having the collected and processed information responding to a request.
