20120110155 | MANAGEMENT OF A DATA NETWORK OF A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - An integrated hybrid system is provided. The hybrid system includes compute components of different types and architectures that are integrated and managed by a single point of control to provide federation and the presentation of the compute components as a single logical computing platform. | 05-03-2012 |
20120254438 | AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF REUSABLE NETWORK CONFIGURATION OBJECTS - A system automatically captures network resources of each individual system of a networked system. The method defines a reusable object name for each class of network resources captured from the individual systems. Each class of network resources has at least one common feature. The system automatically maps each network resource having a particular class of each individual system to the reusable object name defined for that particular class. Embodiments enable individual system-specific resources, such as IP addresses, to be mapped to reusable objects. In some embodiments, reusable objects names may be combined to form higher-level configuration objects, such as network configuration rules. | 10-04-2012 |

20120317567 | VIRTUAL NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT - A Hardware Management Console (HMC) configures virtual networks. The HMC extends Internal Queued Direct I/O to an intra-ensemble data network (IEDN) within a cluster of virtual servers to define a single channel path identifier, and to define a channel parameter. The HMC defines at least one virtual network. The HMC defines a bridge port within each CPC that supports at least one of the virtual servers. The HMC defines a network interface for each virtual server within each cluster. The HMC grants access to a corresponding virtual network for each virtual server. | 12-13-2012 |

20150370581 | Common System Services for Managing Configuration and Other Runtime Settings of Applications - A method for managing settings of applications. A request from an application to store runtime settings currently being used by the application is identified. In response to identifying the request, the runtime settings are then stored on in a repository of runtime settings. In one or more examples, the application is running on an operating system on a computer system, and the request is communicated through a common system service of the operating system. | 12-24-2015 |
20150370598 | COMMON SYSTEM SERVICES FOR MANAGING CONFIGURATION AND OTHER RUNTIME SETTINGS OF APPLICATIONS - Managing settings of applications is provided. A request from an application to store runtime settings, currently being used by the application, is identified by a processor executing program instructions for managing settings of applications. In response to identifying the request, the runtime settings are then stored on in a repository of runtime settings. In one or more examples, the application is running on an operating system on a computer system, and the request is communicated through a common system service of the operating system. | 12-24-2015 |
20160004442 | MANAGING A STORAGE SYSTEM - A method, system, and computer program product for managing a storage facility is disclosed. The methodology detects a potential file overlay when performing a file transfer. When a file is common to multiple systems and resides on a shared system storage volume, potential file corruption due to a data transfer request is detected and then able to be prevented. Hardware identifiers such as Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) are used in managing a write of a file to shared system storage. By comparing multiple hardware identifiers, a determination is made as to whether to process the write of the file. If the hardware identifiers mismatch, the write is processed. If the hardware identifiers match, a potential file overlay is detected. Because of the potential file overlay, the write is stopped or a failure notification is returned. | 01-07-2016 |
