Appl. No.:

12/885224

Inventors:

Michael D. Day - Cary NC, US
Venkateswara R. Puvvada - Inkollu, IN

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G08B 21/00

US Classification:

340540, 340 53, 340506

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing event indications in an event model in a manner so that indication storms resulting from excessive indication generation and delivery is prevented. An object behavior change in an information model corresponds to an event. An indication of interest is sent to a listener process when the detected object behavior change corresponds to a specified top level indication class in an indication class hierarchy.

International Classification:

H04L009/32

US Classification:

713/191000

Abstract:

A method, system and computer program product for remotely booting devices. A deployment server may remotely transmit authentication parameter(s), e.g., public key, secret key, to a service unit configured to establish a private connection between server blades and the deployment server. The service unit may remotely install the authentication parameter(s) onto the server blade(s) to be booted by either the deployment server or another boot server. By the service unit remotely installing the authentication parameter(s) onto the server blade(s), the need to manually install them during each network boot operation may be alleviated. By remotely transmitting authentication parameter(s) instead of manually installing them on the devices to be booted during each network boot operation, the deployment server may be able to generate unique authentication parameter(s), e.g., public/private key pair, secret key, for each network boot operation thereby substantially reducing the exposure to replay attacks.

Appl. No.:

11/054393

Inventors:

Julianne Bielski - Durham NC, US
Michael Day - Cary NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717115000

Abstract:

An improved Extensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) processor adapts to dynamic environmental conditions of a target platform on which the XSLT processor operates. Based on the dynamic environment condition(s) of the target platform, the XSLT processor, using an Extensible Markup Language—Remote Procedure Calling (XML-RPC) source document and an Extensible Style Language (XSL) stylesheet, generates customized script that accomplishes the directive of the XML-RPC source document.

International Classification:

G06F 9/455

US Classification:

718 1

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for acquiring guest operating system instrumentation information in a hypervisor. Embodiments include receiving from a platform management application, by a hypervisor communication module of the hypervisor, a platform request for guest operating system instrumentation information associated with at least one guest operating system executing within the hypervisor; in response to receiving the platform request for the guest operating system instrumentation information, retrieving through shared memory between the hypervisor and the guest operating system, by the hypervisor communication module, the guest operating system instrumentation information associated with the at least one guest operating system; and transmitting, by the hypervisor communication module, the guest operating system instrumentation information to the platform management application.
