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 1):
A method for processing package requests, comprising:\n receiving, from a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) node, a first package request comprising a first lifecycle package identifier (ID), a first component ID, and a first current component fingerprint (CCF); performing a first lookup on a lifecycle package repository (LPR) using the first lifecycle package ID, to identify a first LPR entry; obtaining, from the first LPR entry, a first target component fingerprint (TCF) specified therein, wherein the first TCF is associated with the first component ID; making a first determination that the first CCF matches the first TCF; based on the first determination:\n obtaining, from the first LPR entry, a first relevant component ID and a first lifecycle package image (LPI); \n generating, directed to the first package request, a first request response comprising the first lifecycle package ID, the first relevant component ID, and the LPI; and \n transmitting the first request response to the HCI node.
