SCALING SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT USING A STATELESS PROXY
First Claim
1. A system for managing system devices, comprising:
- a first managed system, comprising;
hardware,an operating system executing on the hardware, andan agent management object (AMO) executing on the operating system and configured to obtain first management information about the operating system and the hardware; and
a second managed system comprising a first proxy management object (PMO) configured to;
receive the first management information from the AMO,request second management information about the hardware from the first managed system,receive the second management information from the first managed system,normalize the first management information and the second management information to obtain first normalized management information, andpopulate a first proxy data model associated with the PMO using the first normalized management information, wherein the first normalized management information is used to manage the first managed system.

Abstract
A system for managing system devices including a first managed system, which includes hardware, an operating system executing on the hardware, and an agent management object (AMO) executing on the operating system and configured to obtain first management information about the operating system and the hardware. The system also includes a second managed system, including a first proxy management object (PMO) configured to receive the first management information from the AMO, request second management information about the hardware from the first managed system, receive the second management information from the first managed system, normalize the first management information and the second management information to obtain first normalized management information, and populate a first proxy data model associated with the PMO using the first normalized management information, where the first normalized management information is used to manage the first managed system.

7. A method for managing system devices, comprising a first proxy management object (PMO), comprising:
-
receiving, directly from a target hardware, a first set of data about the target hardware; receiving, from an agent management object (AMO) operatively connected to the target hardware, a second set of data about the target hardware; normalizing the first set of data and the second set of data to obtain normalized data; populating a proxy data model using the normalized data; and managing the target hardware using the proxy data model. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
