US 12,117,973 B2 · Server device updates using update baselines tagged across multiple management consoles

Abstract

Techniques are provided for performing server device updates using update baselines that are tagged across multiple management consoles. One method comprises obtaining, by a first management console of multiple management consoles associated with a server device, a first update baseline comprising a first tag identifier, of multiple tag identifiers, that identifies a first update of a component of the server device across the multiple management consoles; and applying the first update baseline to the server device in a maintenance mode to update the component of the server device, wherein the server device is maintained in the maintenance mode when two or more of the tag identifiers are active in the server device following the application of the first update baseline. The server device can be restored from the maintenance mode when only one tag identifier is active in the server device following the application of the first update baseline.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a first management console of a plurality of management consoles associated with at least one server device, a first update baseline comprising a first tag identifier, of a plurality of tag identifiers, that identifies a first update of at least one component of the at least one server device across one or more of the plurality of management consoles;
and
updating the at least one component of the at least one server device by applying, by the first management console, the first update baseline comprising the first tag identifier to the at least one server device in a maintenance mode, wherein the at least one server device is maintained in the maintenance mode in response to a same tag identifier not being available for the plurality of management consoles following the applying the first update baseline to the at least one server device;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

1 more element

An apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured to implement the following steps:
obtaining, by a first management console of a plurality of management consoles associated with at least one server device, a first update baseline comprising a first tag identifier, of a plurality of tag identifiers, that identifies a first update of at least one component of the at least one server device across one or more of the plurality of management consoles;
and
updating the at least one component of the at least one server device by applying, by the first management console, the first update baseline comprising the first tag identifier to the at least one server device in a maintenance mode, wherein the at least one server device is maintained in the maintenance mode in response to a same tag identifier not being available for the plurality of management consoles following the applying the first update baseline to the at least one server device.

2 more elements

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device to perform the following steps:

obtaining, by a first management console of a plurality of management consoles associated with at least one server device, a first update baseline comprising a first tag identifier, of a plurality of tag identifiers, that identifies a first update of at least one component of the at least one server device across one or more of the plurality of management consoles;
and
updating the at least one component of the at least one server device by applying, by the first management console, the first update baseline comprising the first tag identifier to the at least one server device in a maintenance mode, wherein the at least one server device is maintained in the maintenance mode in response to a same tag identifier not being available for the plurality of management consoles following the applying the first update baseline to the at least one server device.
