Abstract:
A method and system for lifecycle management optimization. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein eliminate the performance of exhaustive pre-checks, which pertain to determining compatibility between downloaded upgrade packages for installed components in a computing system and a current state of the computing system. Traditional approaches to performing lifecycle management operations entail downloading upgrade packages first, followed by the performance of the exhaustive pre-checks thereafter. In contrast, the method and system disclosed herein perform the pre-checks first, through a processing of fingerprints and, subsequently, based on the outcome of the pre-checks, allowing the upgrade packages to be downloaded or providing feedback to mitigate any issues that may arise.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n receiving, from the HCI node, a second package request comprising a second lifecycle package ID, a second component ID, and a second CCF; performing a second lookup on the LPR using the second lifecycle package ID, to identify a second LPR entry; obtaining, from the second LPR entry, a second TCF specified therein, wherein the second TCF is associated with the second component ID; making a second determination that the second CCF mismatches the second TCF; based on the second determination:\n performing a third lookup on a state diagram repository (SDR) using the second component ID, to identify a SDR entry; \n obtaining, from the SDR entry, a first component state ID associated with a first component fingerprint, wherein the first component fingerprint matches the second CCF; \n obtaining, from the SDR entry, a second component state ID associated with a second component fingerprint, wherein the second component fingerprint matches the second TCF; \n obtaining, from the SDR entry, a component state diagram (CSD) specified therein; and \n traversing the CSD from a first node depicted therein, associated with the first component state ID, to a second node depicted therein, associated with the second component state ID, to obtain a mitigation action path (MAP) comprising a mitigation action (MA) ID associated with a MA.
