Abstract: A method and system for securely provisioning a host, the method including determining, by a provisioning system, a physical path from the host in a cloud to the provisioning system, wherein the physical path includes static mapping for a device between the host and the provisioning system. The provisioning system receives a request to provision a virtual machine on a guest host in a cloud, and sends installation information for the virtual machine via the determined physical path.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for power management in a managed network having hardware-based and virtual resources. A network management platform can host a power management engine to configure and manage the power operations of a mixed set of hardware-implemented and virtual machines. The virtual machines can be instantiated, for instance, via a mainframe platform and/or a cloud computing environment. The power management engine can maintain a power management settings indicating power management rules or preferences for the managed network. The power management settings can contain rules or commands, for instance, to sequence the power-on or power-off order between different hardware-implemented or virtual machines, based for instance on dependency orders or predetermined schedules.
