  • Patent number: 10083060
    Abstract: A system for processing a batch job comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a batch job comprising a sequential or parallel flow of operations, wherein each operation has a defined input type and a defined output type. The processor is further configured to verify that the batch job can run successfully, wherein verifying includes checking that a first operation output defined type is compatible with a second operation input defined type when a first operation output is connected to a second operation input, and wherein verifying includes checking that a parameter used by a calculation in an operation is input to the operation. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

  • Patent number: 9495200
    Abstract: A system for processing a batch job comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a job name for a job submitted to execute, to receive one or more job parameters, and to determine one or more nodes to run the job. The processor is configured to determine one or steps, where for each step: a step is executed on a node using a state of data associated with a start state of the step; and upon completion of executing the step, a result is stored to a durable storage. The durable storage stores the state of data associated with the start state of the step and the completion state of the step and are accessible by other execution processes as associated with either the start state of the step or the completion state of the step. The memory of the system is coupled to the processor and configured to provide processor with instructions.

  • Patent number: 8959322
    Abstract: Images for information handling system manufacture and maintenance are created and managed by manipulating the images as virtual machines through a secure remote network interface, such as a virtual private network or virtual desktop infrastructure. Operating system and application installation and updates, such as service packs and patches, are performed on a virtual machine of the image to adjust the image as desired, and then the image is transformed for loading on physical information handling systems, such as newly manufactured information handling systems or deployed information handling systems in need of maintenance.

  • Publication number: 20110126193
    Abstract: A method includes emulating an information handling system on a virtual machine, allowing users to create and validate an operating environment on the emulation, creating an image based on the validated environment, and loading the image onto an information handling system. The environment includes an operating system and an application from the virtual machine module, and an application from the user. A disk imaging system includes a virtual machine that emulates an information handling system, and a session manager that establishes a session between an interface and the virtual machine. The virtual machine allows users to create an operating environment including an operating system and an application from the virtual machine and an application from the users, and to validate the environment, captures an image of the environment, and loads the image onto an information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20070294703
    Abstract: Migration of user information from a legacy information handling system to a replacement information handling system, including user operating system configuration settings, is performed by copying an image of a legacy hard disk drive to a replacement hard disk drive. Legacy hardware drivers are removed from the image copied to the replacement hard disk drive and replacement hardware drivers are inserted into the image copied to the replacement hard disk drive. The replacement information handling system is booted from an operating system of the image copied to the replacement hard disk drive so that the image operating system can activate the replacement hardware drivers, such as with plug and play functionality. The replacement information handling system then presents the operating environment of the legacy information with the user information copied with the image.
