SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RESTORING CRITICAL SOFTWARE USING MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264907 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RESTORING CRITICAL SOFTWARE USING MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER
The abstract describes an information handling system that includes a processor and a management controller for out-of-band management facilities. The management controller responds to heartbeat synchronization signals from software services to determine missing critical software and stage installation of restore images for such software.
- Simplified Explanation:
- An information handling system has a processor and a management controller. - The management controller provides out-of-band management facilities. - It responds to heartbeat synchronization signals from software services. - It checks for missing critical software and stages installation of restore images.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Processor and management controller for out-of-band management. - Responds to heartbeat synchronization signals from software services. - Checks for missing critical software and stages installation of restore images.
- Potential Applications:
- IT infrastructure management. - Software deployment and maintenance. - System recovery and restoration.
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient management of critical software. - Automated software installation. - Enhanced system reliability.
- Benefits:
- Improved system performance. - Reduced downtime. - Simplified software maintenance.
- Commercial Applications:
- "Automated Software Management System for IT Infrastructure Optimization" - Potential use in data centers, server farms, and cloud computing environments. - Market implications in IT service management and software development industries.
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does the management controller determine missing critical software? - The management controller analyzes heartbeat synchronization signals to identify missing critical software.
2. What are the benefits of staging installation of restore images for missing critical software? - Staging installation of restore images ensures quick and efficient recovery of essential software components.
Original Abstract Submitted
an information handling system may include a processor and a management controller electrically coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management facilities for management of the information handling system, the management controller further configured to in response to one or more heartbeat synchronization signals received from a software service of the information handling system, wherein each of the one or more heartbeat synchronization signals is associated with an item of software stored on the information handling system, determine if any critical software is missing from the information handling system, and for each item of missing critical software, cause a service operating system of the information handling system to stage installation of a restore image of such item.
