System and method for transition of information handling system configuration
First Claim
1. A system for managing information handling system configuration transitions, the system comprising:
- a processing component relationship table associating information handling system processing components according to one or more transition factors;
a customer information handling system configuration database storing customer information handling system configurations; and
an automatic configuration transition engine interfaced with the processing component relationship table and customer information handling system configuration database, the automatic configuration transition engine operable to automatically apply the transition factors to a selected customer information handling system configuration to determine a transition configuration associated with the selected customer information handling system.

Abstract
An automatic configuration transition engine determines a transition information handling system configuration for an existing information handling system configuration by selecting successor processing components to replace existing processing components based on transition factors, such as the relationship of existing and successor components, the cost of successor components, the availability of successor components and the processing components in a customer'"'"'s existing and transition configurations so that the total number of processing components is reduced. A user interface supports network communication for determining an automatically generated transition configuration, for manually altering the automatically generated transition configuration with manually selected processing components and for generating a manufacturing image to manufacture information handling systems having the transition configuration.

10. A method for managing information handling system configuration transition from an existing configuration to a transition configuration, the method comprising:
-
selecting an existing information handling system configuration to transition;
automatically comparing each existing processing component of the existing information handling system configuration with associated available processing components to identify a successor processing component for each existing processing component; and
generating a transition configuration having the successor processing components. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
