20100306177HOST OPERATING SYSTEM INDEPENDENT STORAGE-RELATED REMOTE ACCESS AND OPERATIONS - An embodiment may include circuitry that may be comprised in a host that may execute an operating system and/or in a server. The circuitry may generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, at least one request to initiate, at least in part, at least one operation at the host. The least one operation may facilitate, at least in part, examination remotely from the host of information stored at the host. The at least one operation may be performed independently from the operating system and also may be performed at least in part by the circuitry. The examination may facilitate, at least in part, remotely from the host, backup, recovery, and/or determination of corruption of mass storage data stored at the host. Of course, many variations, modifications, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.12-02-2010

20100131473Method and System for Health Scoring Information Systems, Users, and Updates - A method and system is disclosed for monitoring the status of a system by providing a health score. A health scoring module accesses a configuration management database (CMDB) comprising a plurality of configuration items referencing physical, service and process information. A target value for each configuration item is decided, followed by collecting their current value. Comparison operations are then performed between each configuration item's current and target value and a health subscore is generated. The resulting health subscore is then indexed to its corresponding configuration item. Once indexed, a health score is generated from a predetermined plurality of health subscores.05-27-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090106459CONFIGURATION IDENTIFICATION TOOL AND METHODS - A tool for communicating configuration information includes an analysis tool to determine changes to the configuration of an information handling device. The analysis tool develops a set of configuration tags to identify the configuration changes by identifying a subset of tables or other information, such as XML pairs, associated with a configuration management database (CMDB) and by identifying values for each table to reflect the configuration of the information handling device. The analysis tool encodes the configuration tags into an information string. Because the information string is encoded and does not represent the complete configuration of the information handling system configuration, it can be easily and accurately communicated to a technical support center by a user, thereby reducing potential communication problems and improving technical support.04-23-2009
20090113126Method and apparatus for full backups in advance - An improved system and method are disclosed for the backup and restoration of data. An init image is created for a new system. Data is uploaded from a current system and a data image is generated. The resulting data image and the init image are combined to create a combined data image, which is then stored on an on-line backup host. A copy of the combined data image is transferred to the new system. The uploaded data is extracted from the copy of the combined data image and stored on the new system in the same location as the original system. Metadata describing the location of the combined data on the new system is captured and then applied to the combined data image stored on the on-line backup host. The extracted data on the new system is compared to the current data on the original system and the new system is updated. A differential backup is performed on the new system and then uploaded to the on-line backup host, where it is associated with the combined data image.04-30-2009
