Patent number: 10042555Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for automatically expanding a virtual storage of a virtual machine. The virtual machine monitors a usage of the virtual storage of the virtual machine. The virtual machine determines, based on the monitoring of the usage of the virtual storage, whether to expand the virtual storage of the virtual machine. In response to the virtual machine determining to expand the virtual storage of the virtual machine, a virtual machine manager executes one or more operations to expand the virtual storage. The monitoring and determining may be performed by a virtual storage management agent executing within the virtual machine and which may send an expansion request to an authorization engine to request expansion of the virtual storage.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michele Crudele, Francesco Latino, Bernardo Pastorelli

Patent number: 9747093Abstract: A tool for managing device driver aggregation during operating system deployment. The tool receives a request for a device bundle, wherein the request originates from a first target client. The tool determines whether an available driver bundle matches the device bundle, wherein the available driver bundle is a driver bundle stored locally on a second target client. Responsive to a determination that the available driver bundle matches the device bundle, the tool provisions the available driver bundle to the first target client from the second target client.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Francesco Latino, Gianluca Mariani, Bernardo Pastorelli, Antonio Secomandi

Patent number: 9361126Abstract: A tool for managing device driver aggregation during operating system deployment. The tool receives, by a first computer processor, a request for a device bundle, the request including a unique identifier. The tool determines, by the first computer processor, whether an available driver bundle matches the requested device bundle based, at least in part, on the unique identifier. Responsive to determining an available driver bundle does not match a requested device bundle, the tool creates, by the first computer processor, an associated driver bundle for the requested device bundle.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Francesco Latino, Gianluca Mariani, Bernardo Pastorelli, Antonio Secomandi
