ABSTRACT:
A method of managing a plurality of computer systems is disclosed. The method includes using one or more scripts to provide a list of n computer system identifiers corresponding to n computer systems, wherein n is an integer greater than 1. The method further includes establishing concurrent management sessions between a base computer system and a plurality of the n computer systems, and determining whether the total number of established management sessions between the base computer system and the plurality of computer systems is greater than a threshold amount. If the total number of determined management sessions is greater than the threshold amount, the method additionally includes waiting for a predetermined period of time before attempting to establish any additional management sessions.
