GRID COMPUTE NODE SOFTWARE APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- in a grid network, determining available compute devices for installation and execution of an application, the application requiring a specific operating system;
in response to determining that there are no available compute devices having the specific operating system, sending a request to install the specific operating system and a grid manager through a link to a management system;
installing the specific operating system on one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system;
linking the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system to the grid network; and
installing the application on the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system.

Abstract
A method including, in a grid network, determining available compute devices for installation and execution of an application, the application requiring a specific operating system. The method also includes, in response to determining that there are no available compute devices having the specific operating system, sending a request to install the specific operating system and a grid manager through a link to a management system. The method also includes installing the specific operating system on one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system and linking the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system to the grid network. Lastly, the method includes installing the application on the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system.

6. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, for deploying an application, the computer program product being operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:
-
in a grid network, determine available compute devices for installation and execution of the application, the application requiring a specific operating system platform;
in response to determining that there are no available compute devices having the specific operating system platform, send a request to install the specific operating system and a grid manager through a link to a management system;
install the specific operating system on one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system; and
link the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system to the grid network. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system comprising:
-
a client system residing in a grid network of interconnected grid compute devices;
means for receiving a request in the client system to deploy and execute an application, the application requiring a specific operating system, the specific operating system unavailable in the interconnected grid compute devices;
means for sending a request to install the specific operating system and a grid manager through a link to a management system;
means for installing the specific operating system in one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system;
means for installing the grid manager in one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system;
means for linking the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system to the grid network; and
means for installing the application in the one of a plurality of compute devices controlled by the management system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
