Abstract

A configuration assistance module (CAM) includes a configuration monitor (CM), a configuration analyzer (CA), and a configuration database of one or more supported platform configurations. The CM may and collect hardware and software inventory, e.g., PCIe matrix information, DIMM matrix information, blade configuration information and configuration information for various resources. The CAM may compare the current configuration to the supported configurations, report discrepancies through alerts, and create assist reports. An assist report may be stored to a remote share or master partition and displayed to a GUI, console interface, or the like. The CA module may take an assist report as input and create an analytics report, which may proactively provide inputs for future configurations.
