INTEGRATED CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF HARDWARE DEVICES

摘要

The integrated management system provides a unified interface for common management tasks related to managing interconnected devices, such as in an integrated computer system. First, the integrated management system provides a unified backup and restoration facility for backing up and restoring the configuration of multiple devices through a single user interface presented to the operator. The integrated management system also provides a monitoring facility for monitoring the health of multiple hardware devices in through a single user interface. Finally, the integrated management system makes configuration of multiple devices easier by providing a unified interface for common configuration tasks.
