Abstract

A computer system management module includes a common object module. The management module further includes an object resource manager, an edge resource manager coupled, and a transaction manager coupled to the common object module. The management module further includes an alarm manager coupled to the object resource manager.

Claims

1. A computer system management module comprising:

a common object module;

an object resource manager coupled to said common object module;

an edge resource manager coupled to said common object module;

a transaction manager coupled to said common object module; and

an alarm manager coupled to said object resource manager.

2. The computer system management module of claim 1, wherein said alarm manager is coupled to a mapping agent through a resource application program interface.

3. The computer system management module of claim 1, further comprising a peer interface module coupled to said common object module.

4. The computer system management module of claim 1, wherein said peer interface module is coupled to a standby entity.

5. The computer system management module of claim 1, further comprising a persistent media coupled to said common object module.

6. The computer system management module of claim 2, wherein an agent application program interface is coupled to said mapping agent.

7. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements a computer system management module comprising:

a common object module;

an object resource manager coupled to said common object module;

an edge resource manager coupled to said common object module;

a transaction manager coupled to said common object module; and

an alarm manager coupled to said object resource manager.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein said alarm manager is coupled to a mapping agent through a resource application program interface.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 7, said computer system management module further comprising a peer interface module coupled to said common object module.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein said peer interface module is coupled to a standby entity.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 7, said computer system management module further comprising a persistent media coupled to said common object module.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein an agent application program interface is coupled to said mapping agent.

13. A method of managing a computer system comprising:

modeling a plurality of resources of the computer system in a common object module;

managing each class of the resources with a plurality of resource managers;

implementing inter-resource communication between the resource managers; and

maintaining alarm information based on an alarm filtering criteria.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the resource managers comprise an edge resource manager and an object resource manager.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the inter-resource communication is implemented with a publish subscribe mechanism.

16. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

connecting a user through a mapping agent.
