In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving radio proximity information from a plurality of radio devices arranged along a rack, performing set-wise analysis of the radio proximity information for determining a spatial ordering of the radio devices and/or hardware elements associated with the radio devices, and storing the spatial ordering in memory. In another embodiment, a computer program product includes: a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon. The program code is executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. In yet another embodiment, a system includes: a processing circuit having logic stored thereon and/or in memory. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.

A method, system, and/or computer program product propagates system upgrades to peer computers in a peer community. A peer community is defined by identifying peer computers that each have a copy of a same system component. Each of the peer computers in the peer community is autonomous, such that no peer computer controls another peer computer. A test computer is selected from the peer computers. An upgrade to a system component on the test computer is installed and tested. In response to the upgrade to the system component functioning properly within the test computer, a message is sent to other peer computers within the peer community recommending that they install the upgrade.
