Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and for determining a recommendation relating to a configuration of a plurality of server nodes of a computing system. In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, the computer implemented method includes the steps of, for each server node, storing a first performance parameter value, wherein each first performance parameter value is a benchmarked value that corresponds to a measured actual performance parameter of its associated server node, and applying a first configuration rule based, at least in part, on the first performance parameter values of the plurality of server nodes to obtain a first configuration recommendation. In another embodiment, the method further includes the step of presenting the first recommendation to a human user.

Abstract: A method includes a keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) switch communicating over a network with service processors of a plurality of compute nodes, the KVM switch identifying a compute node from among the plurality of compute nodes that is experiencing one or more predetermined problems, and the KVM switch automatically generating a graphical user interface including the identity of the identified compute node for display on a display device that is connected to the KVM switch.
