Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to a method for providing a system name of a computer system, comprises generating a system ID key based on a system type of the computer system using an external key generator module; installing the system ID key on the computer system in an active operating state by extracting the system name from the system ID key; updating operating system structures for immediate use of the system name; writing a machine name index into halt/load parameters that are implemented by the computer system for subsequent restarts of the computer system after suspending the computer system, wherein the machine name index identifies a location of the system name in a system registry; and writing the system name into the system registry from the system ID key.
Claims15
A method for providing a system name of a computer system, comprising:
- generating a system ID key based on a system type of the computer system using an external key generator module, wherein the system ID key comprises a system name;
- installing the system ID key on the computer system in an active operating state by:
- extracting the system name from the system ID key;
- updating operating system structures for immediate use of the system name;
- writing a machine name index into halt/load parameters that are implemented by the computer system for subsequent restarts of the computer system after suspending the computer system, wherein the machine name index identifies a location of the system name in a system registry;
- and
- writing the system name into the system registry from the system ID key.
A method for providing an immediate uninterrupted installation of a unique system identity, a system name, a product line, and a number of visible processors of a computer system, comprising:
- generating a system ID key based on a system type of the computer system, a number of processors enabled in the computer system, and a product line of the computer system, wherein the system ID key comprises a unique system identity, a system name, a product line, and a number of visible processors from the system ID key;
- installing the system ID key to the computer system in an active operating state by:
- extracting the unique system identity, the system name, the product line, and the number of visible processors from the system ID key;
- updating operating system structures for immediate use of the unique system identity, system name, product line, and pool of visible processors;
- writing a machine name index into halt/load parameters that are implemented by the computer system for subsequent restarts of the computer system after suspending the computer system, wherein the machine name index identifies a location of the system name, product line, and number of visible processors in a system registry;
- and
- writing the system name, product line, and number of visible processors into the system registry from the system ID key.
