20090070470 | Priority Based LDAP Service Publication Mechanism - A method and system are provided for directing a client to a preferred service instance. At creation of a service instance, the service binding attribute of the created instance is extended to include assigned domains and associated priorities. There are then two phases to directing a client to the preferred service instance. The first phase is compilation of a list of domains and priorities for the service in response to a query. Upon completion of the first phase, a second phase is executed to determine a preferred service for the client by comparing fully qualified domain name entries and assigned priority entries. | 03-12-2009 |
20110055406 | Maintaining session states within virtual machine environments - Sessions states within virtual machine (VM) environments are maintained. Each VM environment hosts a guest operating system (OS) and one or more application programs running. The guest OS and the application computer programs of each VM environment constitute a session. A connection broker maintains a state machine as to states of the sessions and permits transitions among the states in response to messages, commands, and internal decisions. Different types of agents may send the messages, and the commands. The states of the sessions may include a pending state and a number of other states. The pending state is an interim state that indicates a session is being transitioned from one of the other states to another of the other states. These other states may include an offline state, an online-down state, an online-up state, a suspended state, an active state, an idle state, a disconnected state, and a failed state. | 03-03-2011 |
20120331130 | Selecting A Network Connection For Data Communications With A Networked Device - Selecting a network connection for data communications with a networked device, including: identifying a plurality of networks available for data communications with the networked device, each network having network connection attributes; and selecting one of the plurality of networks in dependence upon the network connection attributes and the direction of data transfer. | 12-27-2012 |
20120331157 | Selecting A Network Connection For Data Communications With A Networked Device - Selecting a network connection for data communications with a networked device, including: identifying a plurality of networks available for data communications with the networked device, each network having network connection attributes; and selecting one of the plurality of networks in dependence upon the network connection attributes and the direction of data transfer. | 12-27-2012 |
20130185807 | End User License Agreement Detection and Monitoring - An approach is provided for detecting and monitoring end user license agreement (EULA) compliance is provided. A request to access a executable software code is received from an end user. A EULA version corresponding to the requested executable software code is identified. A determination is made as to whether the end user has accepted the identified EULA. If the end user has not accepted the identified EULA, then an out of date EULA notification is sent to the end user, the EULA is sent to the end user requesting an acceptance to the EULA. A EULA response is received from the end user. If the end user accepts the EULA, then the end user is allowed access to the executable software code. | 07-18-2013 |
20150098608 | MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC RACKS - Computer program product and method for determining a location and identity of an electronic rack by a remote electronic device is disclosed. The method may include capturing an image of the electronic rack with a camera attached to the remote electronic device. The method may further include determining a visual identifying trait of the captured image of the electronic rack. The method may further include comparing the visual identifying trait of the captured image of the electronic rack to a known identifying trait of a known electronic rack identified in an inventory. The method may include identifying the electronic rack based on the comparison of the visual identifying trait of the captured image to the known identified trait. The method may further include determining a location of the electronic rack by the remote electronic device. The method may further include recording the location of the identified electronic rack. | 04-09-2015 |
20150106605 | POWER-ON SCHEDULING OF MULTIPLE BLADES REQUIRING A PREBOOT IMAGE FROM A REMOTE DISK - A computer program product includes computer readable program code for obtaining an inventory of hardware devices in each of a plurality of blades, and for calculating, for each of the plurality of blades, an amount of boot time to power-on the blade and reach a condition in which the blade is ready to receive a preboot image. The amount of boot time is calculated as a function of the inventory of hardware devices in the blade. Further computer readable program code is provided for identifying a preboot image load time for each of the blades, and for scheduling power-on of each blade so that a subsequent blade in an order is ready to mount the remote disk and receive the preboot image when a previous blade in the order has received the preboot image and released the remote disk. | 04-16-2015 |
20150106608 | POWER-ON SCHEDULING OF MULTIPLE BLADES REQUIRING A PREBOOT IMAGE FROM A REMOTE DISK - A method includes obtaining an inventory of hardware devices in each of a plurality of blades, and calculating, for each of the plurality of blades, an amount of boot time to power-on the blade and reach a condition in which the blade is ready to receive a preboot image, wherein the amount of boot time is calculated as a function of the inventory of hardware devices in the blade. In addition, a preboot image load time is identified for each of the plurality of blades. The method then further comprises scheduling power-on of each of the plurality of blades so that a subsequent blade in an order is ready to mount the remote disk and receive the preboot image when a previous blade in the order has received the preboot image and released the remote disk. | 04-16-2015 |
