Abstract: A method for replacing at least one hardware assembly of a data processing apparatus includes managing, by a system management software, the data processing apparatus with a service processor and a plurality of hardware assemblies, obtaining, by the system management software, first system configuration data, first system vital product data (SVPD), and first server identity data of the data processing apparatus from the service processor or through the service processor, obtaining, by the system management software, second SVD and second server identity data of the data processing apparatus from the service processor or through the service processor, comparing, by the system management software, the first server identity data with the second server identity data, and configuring, by the system management software, the data processing apparatus based on the first system configuration data and the first SVPD according to a comparison result.

Abstract: A device management method includes obtaining a management page for managing a first electronic device, performing a first management operation on the first electronic device based on the management page, obtaining an operation record generated when performing the first management operation on the first electronic device through the management page, and generating an executable command based on the operation record. The executable command is performed by a target device. The target device is configured to instruct one or more second electronic devices to perform the first management operation based on the executable command.
