Method for executing multi-system aware applications
First Claim
1. A method for executing multi-system aware (MSA) applications in a cluster, comprising:
- receiving selection of an MSA tool by a user;
establishing a target node list that contains nodes against which the MSA tool can execute;
passing the target node list as environment variables to the MSA tool; and
executing the MSA tool with the environment variables on an MSA managed node.

Abstract
By setting up a single multi-system management environment, a ServiceControl Manager provides a simple means to integrate both SSA management applications and MSA management applications into the multi-system environment. MSA applications may be started by a user using either command line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI). Either from CLI or from GUI, the method for MSA applications includes selecting an MSA tool by a user, establishing a target node list that contains nodes on which the tool may run, and passing the target node list as environment variables. The environment variables are then passed to the MSA applications that use the node list to restrict the user access to these nodes.

20. A method for executing multi-system aware (MSA) applications in a cluster, comprising:
-
receiving selection of an MSA tool by a user using command line interface;
establishing a target node list that contains nodes against which the MSA tool can execution, wherein the list is established from default nodes or target nodes specified on the command line;
passing the target node list as target environment variables to the MSA tool;
executing the MSA tool with the environment variables on an MSA managed node;
logging cluster configuration changes in a central log file by a log manager;
logging tool execution events in an MSA tool log file; and
integrating the MSA tool log file into the central log file.
