LCS WORKLOAD IN-BAND SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837285 titled 'LCS WORKLOAD IN-BAND SERVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a Logically Composed System (LCS) workload in-band service management system. It consists of a service management subsystem, a workload using LCS, and a System Control Processor (SCP) device. The service management subsystem identifies and presents a service library to the workload, which includes a variety of services provided by or available via the SCP device. When the workload requests a service from the library, the service management subsystem sends a provisioning request to the SCP device to provide the requested service to the LCS for utilization by the workload.

  • The system manages services provided by or available via the SCP device for use by the LCS workload.
  • The service management subsystem presents a service library to the workload, identifying the available services.
  • When the workload requests a service, the service management subsystem sends a provisioning request to the SCP device.
  • The SCP device provides the requested service to the LCS for utilization by the workload.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments to manage and provision services for workloads.
  • It can be used in software-defined networking (SDN) to manage and provision network services for different applications.
  • The system can be utilized in virtualized environments to efficiently allocate and manage resources for workloads.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the management and provisioning of services for workloads in an LCS environment.
  • Provides a centralized system for identifying, presenting, and provisioning services.
  • Streamlines the process of requesting and utilizing services by the workload.

Benefits

  • Increases efficiency by automating the provisioning of services for workloads.
  • Reduces manual effort and potential errors in managing and provisioning services.
  • Enables better resource allocation and utilization in an LCS environment.


Original Abstract Submitted

A Logically Composed System (LCS) workload in-band service management system includes a service management subsystem coupled to a workload that is provided using a Logically Composed System (LCS), and a System Control Processor (SCP) device. The service management subsystem determines a plurality of services that are either provided by or available via the SCP device for use by the LCS, and presents a service library to the workload that identifies the plurality of services. If the service management subsystem receives a first service request from the workload for a first service that is included in the plurality of service identified in the service library, it provides a first service provisioning request to the SCP device that is configured to cause the SCP device to provide the first service to the LCS for utilization by the workload.
