AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides methods and systems for managing workload and defects. Specifically, the invention allows for the identification of a first computing device and the associated maintenance information of the device. This information can be communicated to a second computing device for implementing a workload management policy. The technical effect of this invention is that it helps to prevent risks and hazards to software workloads and datacenter operations caused by power supply interruptions or overheating.

Problems solved by technology

A power supply that stops operating without notice or overheats while operating can create a risk to the software workloads running on the IT resource and a potential hazard in a datacenter.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]As described herein, there are various embodiments and aspects of the present invention. According to embodiments, the present invention is directed to workload and defect management systems and methods. The presently disclosed subject matter can assist with providing high availability of workloads, particularly software workloads for example. In accordance with embodiments, the present subject matter can integrate engineering change advisory (ECA) error handling for critical defects within the domain of predictive failure analysis and workload management. Further, for example, the present subject matter can be used for improving ECA communication and discover process.

[0013]Referring now to FIG. 1, the figure illustrates a block diagram of an example workload and defect management system 100 in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The system 100 includes a systems management server 102 communicatively connected to multiple servers A, B, and C 104, 106, and 108...

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for workload and defect management. According to an aspect, a method includes communicating, to a first computing device, an identifier associated with a second computing device. The method also includes receiving, from the first computing device, maintenance information associated with the identifier. Further, the method also includes implementing a workload management policy at the second computing device based on the maintenance information.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This is a continuation application of copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 919,026, filed Jun. 17, 2013, and titled WORKLOAD AND DEFECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to workload and defect management systems and methods.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]In today's information technology (IT) environments, automated workload management is leveraged for power management of IT resources, performance management of IT resources, and predictive failure analysis of IT resources. By leveraging industry virtualization features that encapsulate entire software workloads, software workloads can be migrated from an IT resource that appears to be failing to an IT resource that is healthy.[0006]For IT component defects discovered by the component's manufacturer, it can be difficult to man...
