| 20090282229 | CONDITIONAL INCLUSION OF RESOURCES IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - A system for creating a device tree. First, it is determined whether more than one version of a resource for a data processing system exists in a resource location code array table. In response to determining that more than one version of the resource for the data processing system does exist in the resource location code array table, it is determined which version of the resource was installed in the data processing system. Then, a presence detection procedure is performed for the resource in the data processing system. Afterward, it is determined whether the resource is present in the data processing system. In response to determining that the resource is present in the data processing system, an entry is created in a device tree for the resource based on the determined version of the resource. Finally, the device tree is cached in firmware. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090282416 | VITAL PRODUCT DATA COLLECTION DURING PRE-STANDBY AND SYSTEM INITIAL PROGRAM LOAD - A system for selectively recollecting vital product data during an initial program load at data processing system power on. In response to receiving an input to power on a data processing system, a resource location code array table is accessed within a set of selected tables for the data processing system based on machine type. The selected set of tables is located in firmware within a service processor. An entry for a resource in the resource location code array table is read to determine whether the entry includes a no recollect tag. Then, in response to determining that the entry for the resource in the resource location code array table does include a no recollect tag, vital product data for the resource is not recollected during the initial program load. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20090276786 | Resource Data Management - In an illustrative embodiment, a data processing system for resource data management is provided. The data process system comprises a set of data structures defining resource relationships and locations for a set of resources to form defined resource relationships and defined locations for the set of resources, and a receiver capable of obtaining replaceable unit data and obtaining characterization data for a current resource in the set of resources to form obtained replaceable unit data and obtained characterization data for the current resource, wherein the obtained replaceable unit data is obtained from a secure device and the obtained characterization data is obtained from an unsecure device. The data processing system further comprises a writer capable of merging the obtained replaceable unit data for the current resource with the obtained characterization data for the current resource for each resource of the set of resources to form a set of data files, wherein each data file corresponds to a resource in the set of resources. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100131685 | HARDWARE CONFIGURATION INFORMATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A method for determining configuration information to be reported comprises accessing a table corresponding to a configuration resource associated with the configuration information, wherein the table comprises an entry for each hardware configuration definition to be built for the configuration resource, identifying a seed value in the table corresponding to the configuration resource, and modifying the seed value based on a result of processing each entry indicated by the table. | 05-27-2010 |
