Abstract: Systems and method for automatically composing resources with redundant fabric switches to support dual path HA storage access operation in a data center are provided. A data management module can be used to determine one or more drives in the data center that are connected to fabric switches. The fabric switches have a same chassis ID. The data management module can then associate the one or more drives to a first computer system via one fabric switch of the fabric switches, and associate the one or more to a second computer system via the other one fabric switch of the two fabric switches. In response to receiving a request from a specific user, the data management module can compose suitable resources of the data center to match the request based at least upon the one or more drives, the two switches, the first computer system, and the second computer system.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to out-of-band management of a computing system. The present technology discloses enable a primary service controller to provide a centralized configuration of multiple secondary service controllers so that they can share a same configuration. It can utilize an authentication-free protocol to modify and manage credentials for a large number of service controllers.

Abstract: A system and method for insuring efficiency of a serial link between a host server and a switch is disclosed. A fabric switch has upstream ports associated with a serial link. A fabric controller is coupled to the switch. A host server includes a BIOS and a management controller. The host server has ports coupled to the serial link ports via cables to form lanes of the serial link. A memory is accessible by the controller and the management controller. The management controller reads an expected speed and width of the serial link from the memory. The BIOS determines an actual speed and width of the serial link. The management controller sends an error message if the actual speed and width do not match the expected speed and width.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automatic hardware recovery. In some examples, a system can receive a notification of a device failure of a peripheral component interconnect express device associated a node. The system can also receive a first request to disconnect a link between the peripheral component interconnect express device and the node, and a second request to connect, after disconnecting the link, a replacement peripheral component interconnect express device with the node. The system can then reconfigure a peripheral component interconnect express switch fabric to disconnect the link between the peripheral component interconnect express device and the node, and connect the replacement peripheral component interconnect express device with the node.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to network device management. The present technology discloses techniques that can enable an automatic generation of a network topology table for network management. It can use customized identifiers for servers in a server network. It can further enable an automated harvest of network information by utilizing service controllers embedded at different levels of a network.

Abstract: A management controller can dynamically manage a status light of a storage device in a server rack system. For example, an administrative device can determine which storage device in the server rack has a problem and can send an out-of-band request to the management controller indicating the error associated with a particular storage device. The request includes a command to operate a light associated with the failed storage device. The management controller can then generate commands for operating the status light associated with the failed storage device via at least one of a light controller or a SAS expander.

Abstract: Various examples of the present technology provide a cluster-architecture to support a scalable pooled-NVMe storage box that can be shared among a scalable number of nodes. The scalable pooled-NVMe storage box comprises NVMe drives, one or more switches and one or more switch ports. The number of NVMe drives in the scalable scalable-pooled-NVMe storage box can be scaled up or down based upon a number of nodes that need to share the scalable pooled-NVMe storage box.
