Patent number: 8978044Abstract: A method for distributing drivers from a storage system to one or more host systems includes maintaining, in a storage system, a driver database containing drivers for different host systems. The drivers enable the different host systems to effectively communicate with the storage system. The method further determines whether a specific host system is configured with an appropriate driver. In the event the specific host system is not configured with the appropriate driver, the method retrieves the appropriate driver from the driver database. The method then transmits the appropriate driver from the storage system to the specific host system for installation thereon. By using the storage system as a central repository for the latest device drivers, the method ensures that connected host systems are always configured with the latest drivers. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer program product are also disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Juan Alonso Coronado, Mark Sean Fleming, Lisa R Martinez

Patent number: 8875101Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture wherein a determination is made of a subset of all possible interoperable combinations of components of a computing system, wherein the components comprise selected elements of the computing system. One or more testing criteria are stored, wherein a testing criteria provides indications of characteristics of one or more of the components of the computing system. A selection is made of a number of interoperable combinations of the components from the subset of interoperable combinations of the components, based on the stored one or more testing criteria. The selected interoperable combinations are tested, wherein the selected interoperable combinations are fewer in number than the subset of interoperable combinations.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Allen Balstad, Mark Sean Fleming, Keith Brian Maddern, Jeffrey Alan Melching, Michael Allan Nelsen
