International Classification:

G06F 15173

US Classification:

709223, 709102, 709224, 709225, 709226

Abstract:

A system for managing an assemblage of entities. The entities interface within the assemblage for control of primary information handling functions and further interface with the system to permit the carrying out of management functions. The system includes management modules adapted to carry out management functions by independently interpreting and executing commands and a kernel including a table of dispatch pointers for directing the commands to the respective modules in which they are to be interpreted and executed. In addition, the system includes storage containing domain information defining groups of entities, where the kernel may issue a command to a group by issuing individual commands to appropriate modules.

Abstract:

A system for managing an assemblage of entities. The entities interface within the assemblage for control of primary information handling functions and further interface with the system to permit the carrying out of management functions. The system includes management modules adapted to carry out management functions by independently interpreting and executing commands, a kernel including a table of dispatch pointers for directing the commands to the respective modules in which they are to be interpreted and executed, and an enroller for enrolling new modules into the system by adding further pointers to the table. In addition, the system includes: a module adapted to independently interpret and execute selected management-related commands; stored records relating to accessed management information, each record indicating an associated time; an information manager, responsive to commands having a time schedule, for retrieving information from the records or accessing information from the entities, including a scheduler for issuing subsidiary accesses or retrievals at possibly multiple times according to the schedule; storage containing domain information defining groups of entities, where the kernel may issue a commands to a group by issuing individual commands to appropriate modules; a common command syntax including fields for identifying the entity and the operation to be performed; a module that stores rules identifying alarm conditions, including a generator for generating rules and an alarm detector for detecting an alarm condition in response to the rules; a module adapted to carry out self-management functions by interpreting and executing commands.
