SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTE NETWORK MANAGEMENT HAVING MULTI-NODE AWARENESS
First Claim
1. A method of managing a network, comprising:
- accessing a set of configuration data, the set of configuration data specifying a configuration for a set of nodes in the network; and
generating a set of configuration orders to be transmitted to at least one node in the set of nodes based on the set of configuration data for the at least one node.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for remote network configuration management having multi-node awareness. A management server can communicate with a set of hosts in a network, each of which can have associated target machines such as computer clients. The configuration details of the set of hosts can be stored in a set of configuration files. The configuration files can specify, for example, processor, memory, hardware, I/O, and other resources of the hosts or targets associated with the hosts. When a systems administrator or other user wishes to push an updated configuration or send new data to the set of hosts, the management server can identify versions of software and other resources to transmit and install to hosts in the set of hosts based on their particular configuration details reflected in the corresponding configuration files(s), without having to manually identify versions to be distributed to individual hosts or resolve dependencies.

8. A network management system, comprising:
-
an interface to a set of nodes in a network; and a management server, communicating with the set of nodes via the interface, the management server being configured to access a set of configuration data, the set of configuration data specifying a configuration for a set of nodes in the network, and generate a set of configuration orders to be transmitted to at least one node in the set of nodes based on the set of configuration data for the at least one node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
