摘要： A method and system for emulating a hardware Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) without risking an interruption of communication between a computer and a remote secondary storage device is presented. During normal operations, a (hardware emulating) software iSCSI HBA drives a Network Interface Card (NIC) to afford communication between the computer and the remote secondary storage. If an operating system (OS) anomaly occurs in the computer, the NIC is normally disconnected by the OS. To maintain communication between the computer and the secondary storage device if such an event occurs, a failover network device is called up by the computer's System Management Memory (SMM) Basic Input Output System (BIOS), which allows uninterrupted communication to continue between the computer and remote secondary storage device.
摘要翻译：提出了一种用于模拟硬件互联网小型计算机系统接口（iSCSI）主机总线适配器（HBA）的方法和系统，而不会造成计算机和远程辅助存储设备之间的通信中断。在正常操作期间，（硬件仿真）软件iSCSI HBA驱动网络接口卡（NIC）以提供计算机和远程辅助存储之间的通信。如果计算机中发生操作系统异常，则通常由操作系统断开NIC。为了保持计算机和辅助存储设备之间的通信，如果发生这种情况，则计算机的系统管理存储器（SMM）基本输入输出系统（BIOS）调用故障切换网络设备，这允许不间断的通信在计算机之间继续和远程辅助存储设备。

摘要： Basic server resources may be extended by the completion of a Capacity on Demand (CoD) Agreement. The CoD Agreement provides authorization to the server for activation of inactive resources. A Power On Self Test (POST) works in conjunction with a system management interrupt, a memory unit, and a plurality of Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) host bridges to provide for on demand additions of input and output adapters. The adapters may be added during various phases of operation and may be hot pluggable.

摘要： A method and system are disclosed to enable and control power reduction in a blade/chassis system. A “maximum power reduction” attribute is stored in the VPD of the blade (or can otherwise be input to or retrieved or calculated by the management entity). The management module of the chassis in which the blades and power supplies are located uses this information to manage the power reduction of blades when the system is operating in an over-subscription mode and a power supply fails. If throttling is required, the system knows the amount of power reduction available for each blade and controls the throttling by spreading it out among the blades in the system so that, ideally, no blade will cease operation altogether.

摘要： Methods and arrangements to dynamically modify the number of processors active in a multi-node data processing system. are contemplated. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to change the portion of BIOS that a processor loads on power-on. In some embodiments, a signal sent over a GPIO pin may flip an address line to the portion of the BIO that a processor loads on power-on. In some embodiments, a service processor may set a GPIO or non-volatile RAM value. The portion of BIOS controlling the powering-up of the processor may read the value and branch depending upon the value. Embodiments also include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to determine the state of a dynamically activated processor. In some embodiments, a processor may read from a local scratch register to determine if it has been dynamically activated. If so, embodiments may then clear the scratch register and put the processor to sleep. Embodiments may then update the tables which describe the resources available to the processor.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for distributing configuration parameters. The present invention includes one or more storage devices configured to store data, a first DHCP server configured to process DHCP messages and redirect communications regarding configuration parameters for the storage devices to a second DHCP server, and a configuration datastore configured to store configuration parameters for the storage devices. The second DHCP server may be configured to process DHCP messages and retrieve configuration parameters for the storage devices from the configuration datastore. In certain embodiments, each storage initiator communicates with the DHCP servers, receives the configuration parameters such as iSCSI parameters, and provides the configuration parameters to one or more storage devices.

摘要： A method and system for allowing nodes in a multi-node computer to be appropriated by a master node in the multi-node computer. The node to be appropriated is suspended into an ACPI S3 Sleep State, causing current system operations state information to be stored in a backup memory in the appropriated node. The master node then populated a primary memory in the appropriated node with OS and other information required to join a partition that includes the master node. When the master node no longer wishes to use the appropriated node, the backup memory in the appropriated node is mirrored back into the primary memory. When the appropriated node “wakes up” from the S3 state, it continues executing software commands where it left off, without knowing anything that had happened after going into the S3 state.
摘要翻译：用于允许多节点计算机中的节点由多节点计算机中的主节点占用的方法和系统。要占用的节点被暂停到ACPI S3休眠状态，使得当前系统操作状态信息被存储在专用节点中的备份存储器中。然后，主节点在适当的节点中填充主存储器，其中包括加入包含主节点的分区所需的OS和其他信息。当主节点不再希望使用专用节点时，专用节点中的备份存储器将镜像回主存储器。当专用节点从S3状态“唤醒”时，它会继续执行其中断的软件命令，而不必知道进入S3状态后发生的任何事情。

摘要： A method and system for booting up multiple PCI peripheral devices, such that the number of bootable PCI peripheral devices is not limited by the amount of computer system memory that is dedicated to storing executable boot code for the peripheral devices. The executable boot code is stored on a Read Only Memory (ROM) on each peripheral device. When a new PCI peripheral device begins to boot up, a check for available memory space in a ROM scan memory address space is performed. If there is not enough available room in the ROM scan memory address space for the new device's executable boot code, then a ROM scan detection logic pages an image of another peripheral device's executable boot code out of the ROM scan memory address space before storing the new device's executable boot code into the ROM scan memory address space.
