Publication number: 20170288956Abstract: A mobile communication device is used to assign a configuration to a designated compute node by wirelessly transmitting a configuration identifier to the designated compute node. The designated compute node receives the configuration identifier and provides the configuration identifier to a management node accessible over a network in order to receive configuration data associated with the configuration identifier. The designated compute node receives the configuration data and applies the configuration data to achieve the assigned configuration. This method may be used to configure a plurality of compute nodes, although each of the compute nodes may assigned the same or different configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: David D.

Patent number: 9443221Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for physical location tagging via image recognition of physical components in a data center. The method includes acquiring an image scan of a field of view of a camera at a known location in a data center and matching an image of a device in the image scan to a pre-stored image of a similar device to determine a device type of the device in the image scan. The method also includes transmitting a directive to a known device in inventory of the determined device type to activate a visual indicator disposed on an exterior portion of the known device. Finally, the method includes re-acquiring the image scan to detect an activated visual indicator on the device in the image scan and, in response, mapping the known location in the data center to the known device in inventory.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: LENOVO ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS (SINGAPORE) PTE.
