Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for early detection of fan failure in a computing device, such as a server. A management device located in the computing device or remote from the computing device can receive information about the fan duty and use the fan duty information to determine a safe fan speed below which future or imminent fan failure can be inferred. The management device can receive the current speed of the fan and compare it with the safe fan speed to determine if the fan is likely to fail, in which case the management device can direct the computing device to perform mitigation action and/or a maintenance warning can be sent. The maintenance warning can result in replacement of the failing or soon-to-fail fan.

Abstract: A method for controlling air flow in a server rack includes storing, by a switch, a connection table, the connection table comprising information for rack positions corresponding to switch ports of the switch. The switch obtains address information of at least one management controller corresponding to at least one device connected to the switch ports of the switch. The switch determines a rack position for each of the at least one device, based on the table and the address information. The switch receives from a rack management controller (RMC), a request for the rack position for each of the at least one device. The switch sends to the RMC, the rack position for each of the at least one device. The RMC controls fan speed for the at least one device, based on the rack position for each of the at least one device.

Abstract: A system and method to save power in a computer system is disclosed. The system includes a power controller controlling connection of power to each of a plurality of memory components. A processor is coupled to the memory components. The processor operates with varying utilization levels of the memory components. A management controller is coupled to the processor and the power controller. The management controller determines a period of low utilization based on memory utilization data from the processor. The management controller commands the power controller to disable power to some of the plurality of memory components during the period of low utilization.

Abstract: Technologies for remote keyboard-video-mouse sessions can include failover mechanisms. In some embodiments, a system can establish a first remote keyboard-video-mouse session between a console application on the system and a first server application executed by a controller on a server. The first remote keyboard-video-mouse session can be established via a first network connection between the system and the controller. Next, the system can detect an error associated with the first remote keyboard-video-mouse session. In response to the error, the system can establish a second remote keyboard-video-mouse session between the console application and a second server application executed by an operating or a basic input/output program on the server. The second remote keyboard-video-mouse session can be established via a second network connection between the system and the second server application.

Abstract: A system and method of updating device firmware on a rack server computer system using a network switch. The network switch receives a request to update the firmware of a device in the rack server computer system. The network switch determines the location of the device in the rack server system and transmits the firmware update to the device and commands the device to update its firmware using the firmware update transmitted by the switch. Alternatively, the network switch automatically detects a new device connected to the network switch in the rack server computer system. The network switch determines the identification of the new device, including its firmware, and determines if a newer version of the device firmware is available. The network switch obtains the newer version of the device firmware, transmits the firmware to the device, and commands the device to update its firmware with the newer version.

Abstract: In some implementations, an IP address can be configured for a computing device using an out-of-band communication channel. For example, a system administrator can configure a system controller (e.g., baseband management controller) with an IP address using an out-of-band communication channel. In some implementations, the system controller can be configured with the IP address when the computing device is powered down. The system controller can store the IP address in memory associated with the system controller. In some implementations, an operating system of the computing device can be configured with an agent (e.g., process, application, utility) that will request the IP address from the system controller and configure the computing device to use the IP address. For example, the operating system agent can use various operating system commands to configure the IP address for the computing device based on the IP address received from the system controller.

Abstract: In some implementations, network interface controller (NIC) configuration information can be obtained from a NIC prior to booting up an operating system. For example, a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) can obtain the NIC configuration information from the NIC during the execution of a system check (e.g., Power-On Self-Test). A system controller can receive the NIC configuration information from the BIOS. The system controller can store the NIC configuration information in memory associated with the system controller. A management system can request the NIC configuration information from the system controller using an out-of-band communication channel. For example, the management system can send the request for NIC configuration information to the system controller prior to powering on a server using a dedicated network interface of the system controller.
