  • GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE OVERLAYS FOR CONTEXTUAL STORAGE CAPACITY INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20240103753
    Abstract: A method for generating a graphical overlay indicating storage usage for a graphical representation of an information handling system includes determining a first storage capacity of a first hardware component of a second information handling system, determining a first storage usage of the first hardware component, generating a first graphical overlay for a first graphical representation of a physical configuration of the first information handling system based on the first storage capacity of the first hardware component and the first storage usage of the first hardware component, wherein the first graphical overlay comprises a first indication of the first storage usage of the first hardware component, and displaying the first graphical overlay and the first graphical representation.

  • Method for consolidating infrastructure deployment including networking, out-of-band management, and in-band management through a web graphical user interface
    Patent number: 11861412
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein are related to managing deployment of a converged infrastructure (CI). Such techniques may include receiving a request to initiate a CI deployment; obtaining a CI information set; creating a CI deployment file using the CI information set; rendering a deployment user interface (UI) screen that allows a user to select to configure network devices or a CI cluster; receiving a first selection to configure a network device; rendering network device configuration screens to obtain network device configuration information; adding the network device configuration information to the CI deployment file; receiving a second selection to configure the CI cluster; rendering CI cluster configuration screens to obtain CI cluster configuration information; adding the CI cluster configuration information to the CI deployment file; and deploying the CI using the CI deployment file.

  • Graphical user interface overlays for contextual hardware component information
    Patent number: 11614848
    Abstract: A method for generating a graphical overlay indicating component characteristics for a graphical representation of an information handling system includes determining one or more component characteristics of one or more hardware components of a second information handling system, generating a first graphical overlay for a first graphical representation of a physical configuration of the one or more hardware components based on the one or more component characteristics, determining a selected view, and displaying the first graphical overlay and the first graphical representation based on the determination of the selected view.
