Abstract: A method of installing and configuring a computer program involves loading a default bundle of objects along with configuration data of said objects, including attributes and inter-object relationships. Some of the default bundle of objects are model objects and these, along with their respective attributes and inter-object relationships, are sent to a systems administrator's display screen, where they may be altered. The model objects and the first-mentioned default bundle of objects are then merged together to form the bundle of image objects which represents a working version of the installed computer program.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data processing system, and method of operating such a system, for facilitating a connection of a program on a client computer to a server, the server consisting of a plurality of server computers with shared resources. The data processing system, the client computer, and the server computers all reside in a logical network. The data processing system has an input means for receiving a request from the client computer for a machine address of a server computer identified by a server computer name sent with the request, such a machine address enabling a connection to be made from the client computer to that server computer via the network. A storage device is provided by the system for storing a list identifying server computer names with machine addresses of the server computers. A conversion means in the system uses the list to convert the server computer name received by the input means into the machine address of the server computer, and then an output means sends the machine address from the conversion means to the client computer. The system is characterised by decision logic for studying the server computers at predetermined intervals having regard to a predetermined test criteria, in order to select one of the server computers; and writing means for updating the list by associating the machine address for the server computer selected by the decision logic with a particular server computer name contained as a generic server computer name in the list. Using this technique, when a client computer specifies the generic server computer name, it receives the machine address of the server computer identified by the decision logic.

Abstract: A disk file comprises a head disk enclosure 1 connected to a support frame by a plurality of isolation mounts. Each isolation mount comprises a constrained layer flexure 23 which is rigidly attached at both ends to a bracket 25 of the support frame. Located in an aperture in the constrained layer flexure is a resilient grommet 24. This grommet supports a bolt 27 which passes through the grommet and into the head-disk enclosure casting.
