Patent ID: 7814186

Claim:
A method of reconfiguring an initial system configuration of networked information handling systems, the method comprising: providing a set of system configuration heuristic rules stored on a storage medium, each of said system configuration heuristic rules defining how the value of a given configuration variable of said initial system configuration is dependent on the value of one or more user requirement parameters; and accessing said stored system configuration heuristic rules from said storage medium; utilizing said accessed set of system heuristic rules to determine the effects of one or more changes in the value of said one or more user requirement parameters on the value of said given configuration variable in order to achieve a new system configuration of networked information handling systems having a new targeted value of said given configuration variable; wherein a value of said given configuration variable has an initial value in said initial system configuration; and wherein a value of said given configuration variable has said new targeted value in said new system configuration.
