ABSTRACT:
A global resource management system has a plurality of computer systems interconnected via a network and a global resource data base stored in a global memory connected to the network. Each of the computer systems has a processor, a local memory, an input device configured to receive a configuration task to be performed on the computer systems in the network, a local interface for interconnecting the processor, the local memory, and the input device, and a global resource management system stored in the local memory and driven by the processor. The global resource management system of each computer system includes both a task manager and a reconciliator. The task manager forwards the configuration task to other computer systems for execution thereon. Moreover, the task manager stores the identities of any nonresponsive computer systems along with a configuration action that corresponds to the unperformed task in the global resource data base in the global memory. The reconciliator communicates with the global resource data base in the global memory when its corresponding computer system is activated to retrieve any unperformed configuration actions that were directed to resources under the computer system's control and performs any such unperformed configuration actions upon those resources.
