Abstract
An asset includes physical computing resources and a physical computing resources manager. The physical computing resources manager obtains a resource update for the asset; makes a determination that the resource update requires a reset of a portion of the physical computing resources; and, based on the determination, resets the portion of the physical computing resources during a low resource consumption reboot of the asset without resetting a second portion of the physical computing resources, the second portion of the physical computing resources are not reset as part of the low resource consumption reboot.
Claims20
An asset, comprising:
- physical computing resources;
- and
- a physical computing resources manager programmed to:
- obtain a resource update for the asset;
- make a determination that the resource update requires a reset of a portion of the physical computing resources;
- and
- based on the determination, reset the portion of the physical computing resources during a low resource consumption reboot of the asset without resetting a second portion of the physical computing resources, wherein the second portion of the physical computing resources are not reset as part of the low resource consumption reboot.
A method for managing an asset, comprising:
- obtaining a resource update for the asset, wherein the asset comprises physical computing resources;
- making a determination that the resource update requires a reset of a portion of the physical computing resources;
- and
- based on the determination, resetting the portion of the physical computing resources during a low resource consumption reboot of the asset without resetting a second portion of the physical computing resources, wherein the second portion of the physical computing resources are not reset as part of the low resource consumption reboot.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing an asset, the method comprising:
- obtaining a resource update for the asset, wherein the asset comprises physical computing resources;
- making a determination that the resource update requires a reset of a portion of the physical computing resources;
- and
- based on the determination, resetting the portion of the physical computing resources during a low resource consumption reboot of the asset without resetting a second portion of the physical computing resources, wherein the second portion of the physical computing resources are not reset as part of the low resource consumption reboot.
