摘要： BIOS framework for accommodating multiple service processors on a single server to facilitate distributed/scalable server management. During a pre-boot phase for a server, information is collected pertaining to service capabilities supported by each of a plurality of service processors used to service server management requests for a server, wherein the services supported by each service processor are performed via execution of service code associated with that service processor. The service capabilities are aggregated across all of the service processors, and a corresponding unified presentation of service capabilities is provided to a service consumer. End-users are enabled to provide preferences that define a usage order for like services hosted by different service processors within the same system. The BIOS framework can detect the addition or removal of hot-swap cards hosting one or more service processors and associated service code, and update the unified presentation of service capabilities to reflect new added service capabilities or remove previously existing service capabilities.

摘要： A flash memory has an interleaved boot block compatible with multiple processor architectures. The interleaved boot block may include one boot block compatible with a first CPU architecture and another boot block compatible with a second CPU architecture. These two boot blocks may be combined in an interleaved manner in the flash memory so that during a boot process only one of the two boot blocks executes, although both are stored in the flash memory. By interleaving different boot blocks, a common socket computer system capable of supporting multiple processor architectures may be achieved without fully replacing an incompatible basic input/output system (BIOS). Further, the flash memory may contain an updatable portion in which any BIOS segments incompatible with a processor architecture may be updated via a recovery, or update, process.

摘要： Embodiments of a method and system for saving system context after a power outage are disclosed herein. A power agent operates to reduce the possibility of data corruption due to partially written data during an unexpected power outage. The power agent can determine an amount of time remaining before a power store is depleted. Based on the amount of time, the power agent can store system context information. Correspondingly, the power agent can operate to save complete system context, partial system context, or flush (I/O) buffers. Once power is restored, the power agent can restore the system context based on the nature of the save. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Methods and apparatus to facilitate fast restarts in processor systems are disclosed. An example processor restart method disclosed herein includes recording a log of pre-boot initialization actions, and replaying a portion of the log during subsequent processor restarts to shorten pre-boot initialization time. The example processor restart method disclosed herein may further include creating a log index table for easier referral to portions of the log, storing the log and the log index table in non-volatile memory, using the log index table to reorder the replaying of the log, and reordering the replay of the log to initialize the video graphics adapter earlier in a processor restart sequence.

摘要： Various characteristics of a hard drive may be analyzed in order to determine the nature of an operating system stored thereon. For example, an operating system indicator and/or a boot record may be identified which may enable operating system identification. Alternatively, checksums may be used to disambiguate the stored operating system. Other disk characteristics may be utilized to enable a determination of operating system and operating system version. This information may be provided to the user in a graphical user interface indicating the correspondence between operating systems and drives, or a desired operating system, once identified, may be automatically used without analyzing all drives.

摘要： A method and system to switch between a Service virtual machine (VM) and a Guest VM in a virtual machine monitor (VMM) of a computer system. The VMM is loaded on the computer system to support a Service VM and a Guest VM. The Service OS is booted in the Service VM during the pre-boot phase. The Guest OS is booted in the Guest VM of the computer system. During OS runtime of the Guest OS, a VM switch is performed from the Guest VM to the Service VM without rebooting the computer system. The Service OS includes diagnostic tools to analyze the Guest OS. In one embodiment, the VM switch is performed by firmware of the computer system. In another embodiment, the VMM operates in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) framework standard.

摘要： Power consumption may be reduced by imbalancing the loads handled by interchangeable components. Interchangeable components, such as memory devices, processors, servers, or other entities, may be imbalanced to reduce power consumption as circumstances allow. As a result, interchangeable components that are used to implement effectively the same function may be powered down or hot-removed and their duties transferred to other components. As a result, the deactivated component may be powered down to a reduced power consumption state, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the system.
摘要翻译：可以通过不平衡由可互换组件处理的负载来减少功耗。诸如存储器件，处理器，服务器或其他实体的可互换组件可能会不平衡，以在情况允许的情况下降低功耗。因此，用于有效执行相同功能的可互换组件可能被关闭或热拆除，其职责转移到其他组件。结果，去激活的组件可以被关闭以降低功耗状态，从而降低系统的总体功耗。
