International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719320

Abstract:

A system, method and computer-readable medium for adapting command line output message streams in a virtualized command line interface (CLI) environment. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a virtualized CLI command is entered and executed. The virtualized CLI command encapsulates a guest operating system command having an associated standard output message. In response to executing the virtualized CLI command, the standard output message is piped to an output message file. Within the standard output message file, a structured array is used to search the standard output message for matches between strings within the standard output message and one or more specified message strings identified in the structured array. In response to finding a match between the specified message strings and the strings within the standard output message, the specified message string within the standard output message is replaced with a replacement message string.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709245000

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing network addresses. A received network address from a current server is compared for use in identifying the data processing system with a prior network address from a previous server. A release data packet is created if the received network address is a new network address and the previous server is a different server than the current server in which the release data packet includes the prior network address. The release data packet is sent to the previous server in which the release data packet causes the previous server to release the prior network address for reuse.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 17

Abstract:

A method comprises determining a set of one or more authorizations associated with a role of a user responsive to the user entering a command with a parameter, wherein the command with the parameter is to be implemented via a first virtual partition that is configured to control access to a plurality of virtual input/output (I/O) devices by a plurality of other virtual partitions. The first virtual partition and the plurality of other virtual partitions are instantiated on a same system. The method includes determining that the role is authorized to execute the command based on the set of one or more authorizations. The method also includes determining that the role is authorized to execute the command with the parameter responsive to determining that the role is authorized to perform the command. The method includes executing the command with the parameter via the virtual partition.

Abstract:

Various systems, processes, and products may be used to update virtual machines. In particular implementations, a system, process, and product for updating virtual machines may include the ability to determine whether a change to a portion of an operating system for a virtual machine is available and identify a virtual machine using the operating system. The system, process, and product may also include the ability to determine when the virtual machine is modifiable and update the portion of the operating system for the virtual machine when it is modifiable.
