A distributed network management system using a logical multidimensional label-based policy model

摘要

Handles changes to the state of a specific managed server in the management domain. The management domain includes a plurality of managed servers, the managed server configures a management module using management instructions, and the configured management module includes a set of one or more rules. Implement a management policy. The first description of the particular managed server is modified to indicate the changed state of the particular managed server, thereby specifying the second description of the particular managed server. The unmodified first description is compared with the second description, thereby specifying a description change. Based on the description change, a determination is made as to whether a management instruction previously sent to a particular managed server should be updated.
