    Abstract: Method and systems provide tools for evaluating the impact of component deprecations with a datacenter formed from a plurality of IHSs. Upon receiving a notification of a deprecated component, configuration files that invoke the deprecated component and are in use within the datacenter are identified. Estimates are generated for the resources that would be required to replace references to the deprecated component within the identified configuration files. Estimates may be generated based on compilation errors, test suite failures and historical error repair data. A tree is generated of the dependencies on the deprecated component within the identified configuration files. Based on characteristics of the dependency tree and also based on the resource estimates for replacing references to the deprecated component, a risk level is generated for the deprecated component. The risk level may be generated for individual IHSs, groups of IHSs, or an entire data center.

    Abstract: Method and systems support management of deprecated components within a system of IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as within a datacenter. Upon receiving notification of a deprecated component, instances of the deprecated component are identified within the datacenter. Usage information is collected for the deprecated component by remote access capabilities of the IHSs and by management capabilities of chassis in which the IHSs may be housed. Based on the collected usage information, usages are determined for individual features of the deprecated component. Even though a component has been deprecated, some features of the component may still be supported. Such supported features of the deprecated components are identified. Licenses may be provided for use of features that are that are supported and that are actually utilized, as determined from the usage information.
