Validation of asset data for component assemblies
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, comprising:
- code that acquires a shipment manifest for a component assembly, the shipment manifest specifying expected asset data associated with the component assembly and a component of the component assembly;
code that serves, via a network interface of the computing device, a boot image executable by the component of the component assembly, the boot image comprising a plurality of diagnostic tests;
code that obtains, via the network interface of the computing device, empirical asset data associated with the component, the empirical asset data being supplied by the boot image and comprising a network identifier of the component;
code that obtains, via a console interface of the computing device, further empirical asset data comprising a console configuration of the component;
code that determines a delivery response for the component assembly based at least in part upon a comparison of the empirical asset data with the expected asset data; and
code that generates a report of the comparison of the empirical asset data and the expected asset data.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments of a computing device for acquiring a shipment manifest for a component assembly, the shipment manifest including expected asset data associated with the component assembly and a component of the component assembly. The computing device serves, via a network interface, a boot image executable by the component of the component assembly, the component including a processor. Empirical asset data associated with the component is obtained, via the network, by the computing device, the empirical asset data being supplied by the boot image. The computing device determines a validation response for the component assembly based at least upon a comparison of the empirical asset data with expected asset data.

23. A computing device, comprising:
-
a processor circuit having at least one processor and a memory; and a resource manager executable by the at least one processor, the resource manager comprising; logic that obtains, via a first network interface, data encoding a user interface, a portion of the data encoding the user interface being supplied by a resource management system, the resource management system comprising expected asset data associated with a component of a component assembly; logic that acquires, via a second network interface, empirical asset data associated with the component of the component assembly, the empirical asset data being supplied by a boot image executable by the component; logic that forwards, via the second network interface, the boot image from the resource management system to the component; and logic that obtains, via the first network interface, data encoding a validation response in the user interface, the validation response based at least in part upon a comparison of the empirical asset data with the expected asset data. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
