Computing clusters can be automatically configured according to some aspects described herein. For example, a system can receive configuration datasets from instantiated objects in a management cluster. The configuration datasets can be for configuring target objects in managed clusters, where the managed clusters are separate from the management cluster. The system can then configure the target objects within each of the managed clusters based on the configuration datasets.

Automatically configuring computing clusters

A method for verifying identity includes associating with a person, one or more ID signals emitted by a personal device. The method includes detecting one or more ID signals, and confirming identity of the person in response to verifying identity of the person based upon identifying credentials from the person and verifying that one or more of the detected ID signals are associated with the person.

Using personal RF signature for enhanced authentication metric

Methods, apparatus, and products for maintaining RFID information for virtual machines are disclosed that include establishing a virtual machine on a host computer, the host computer capable of supporting a plurality of virtual machines, the host computer comprising one or more RFID transponders; determining RFID information for the virtual machine; storing, in a specified one of the RFID transponders, the determined RFID information for the virtual machine; and upon request from an RFID reader, transmitting the stored RFID information as output from the specified RFID transponder to the requesting RFID reader.

Maintaining RFID information for virtual machines

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for saving unsaved user process data in one or more logical partitions ('LPARs') of a computing system, the computing system having installed upon it a hypervisor for administering the LPARs, each LPAR supporting an operating system, each operating system supporting one or more user processes, that include: detecting, by the hypervisor, a predefined event that the hypervisor interprets as an indication that unsaved data of user processes for at least one LPAR should be saved; transmitting, by the hypervisor in response to detecting the predefined event, a save instruction to the operating system supported by the LPAR; and instructing, by the operating system in response to receiving the save instruction, each user process supported by the operating system to save any unsaved data.
