The present invention clones configuration information onto a device joining a cluster. A Configuration Acquisition System (CAS) component, which, using a list of attributes to be cloned, connects to a cluster member, interacts with the cluster member to retrieve all the attributes, reconciles the values of the attributes from the cluster member with the values of the attributes in its own configuration and applies the reconciled configuration to its Configuration Subsystem.

Abstract:
The present invention provides cluster management from a single application. A user may perform management tasks on all of the devices within the cluster using a GUI or a CLI. The system automatically discovers the members of the cluster and acquires a configuration lock on the devices preventing other users from performing conflicting operations. If a problem occurs during a configuration, the devices may be rolled back to a previous working configuration. A message format is provided to help ensure message integrity beyond the security provided by a secure transport. An aggregator aggregates configuration information and motored data and allows the information to be presented according to a user's requirements.

713/002000
Abstract:
The present invention is directed at rebooting a cluster while maintaining cluster operation. Cluster operation is automatically maintained during the reboot since at least one member of the cluster stays active during the process. An administrator triggers the reboot process and then does not have to perform any other steps during the reboot process. An algorithm executes which reboots members of the cluster at different times, while always maintaining operation of at least one member of the cluster.
Providing A Service Based On Time And Location Based Passwords

International Classification:
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
A first device may receive a first password from a second device. The first password may be generated based on first time information and first location information identifying a geographic location of the second device. The first device may, determine a second password based on second time information and second location information identifying the geographic location of the second device. The first device may determine that the second device is located at the geographic location at a particular time when characters in the first password match characters in the second password, and may provide a service based on determining that the second device is located at the geographic location at the particular time.
