  • Service managers and firmware version selections in distributed computing systems
    Patent number: 10990373
    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods are described for selecting firmware versions of multiple components for a distributed computing system (e.g., a cluster). Multiple selection interfaces may be presented to a user who may select at least one firmware version of at least one component. Based on the user selection(s), a service manager may evaluate firmware component dependencies and identify compatible firmware versions of other components for installation. In this manner, a set of firmware versions may be installed and/or upgraded which may be different than a current set of versions and/or a set of versions recommended in a wholly automated manner.
    Type: Grant

  • IDENTIFICATION AND STORAGE OF LOGICAL TO PHYSICAL ADDRESS ASSOCIATIONS FOR COMPONENTS IN VIRTUALIZED SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20190332409
    Abstract: A system having a hardware layout wizard, and a method therefore are discussed. The system according to an embodiment includes an administration system including a user interface (UI) and configured to display a visual representation of the plurality of hardware components in accordance with their logical identification; sequentially command each of the plurality of hardware components, in accordance with their respective hardware identification, to provide an output; prompt, via a display device of the administration system UI, a user to provide an identification of a selected one of the plurality of hardware components responsive to the output; and store an association between the plurality of hardware components and a plurality of logical hardware identifiers (IDs) based on the identification.
