摘要:
A method and system for correlating location information of a server. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method that includes causing a node to obtain correlation of a first address of at least one target server with a second address of the at least one target server based on the second address of the at least one target server and a plurality of addresses similar in type to the first address. The method further includes retrieving the correlation from the node. As a result, a client may access the correlated location information and communicate directly with the target server.

A method and system for managing a secure network boot of a secondary server (server blade). The server blade sends a request, via an Ethernet switch, for a boot program to multiple Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. One of the DHCP servers responds with an address of at least one Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) server that can upload a boot program to the server blade. Only if the responding DHCP server is on a list of known trusted DHCP servers will the Ethernet switch allow the server blade to receive the response from the responding DHCP server, thus allowing the download of a boot program from a PXE server.

A method and system for managing a secure network boot of a server blade. The server blade is part of a server blade chassis, which holds multiple server blades that communicate with outside devices via a Pre-boot eXecution Environment (PXE) enabled network interface card. When a server blade receives a response from a PXE boot server offering a boot program download, a Remote Supervisory Adapter (RSA) card, managed by a remote manager, compares the identity of the responding PXE boot server with a list of trusted PXE boot servers. Only if the responding PXE boot server is on the list of trusted PXE boot servers will the server blade be allowed to use a boot program provided by the responding PXE boot server.

A method and apparatus for determining the write delay time of a memory are provided. The apparatus includes a CPU, a memory, a north bridge chipset, a south bridge and a BIOS. The north bridge chipset, which is connected to the CPU and the memory, writes a pattern to the memory according to different write delay times. The BIOS reads the pattern stored in the memory, and checks the correctness of the read pattern to determine the common write delay time.

A detachable transmission mechanism for a wheel chair includes a control unit, two support frames, a suspension frame and a driving device. The channel clamps of the two support frames can be connected to two lower transverse rods of an existing wheel chair and the joining tubes at two sides of the battery unit is connected to the joining pipe so that the battery unit can be fixed beneath a seat of the wheel chair; furthermore, the control unit is positioned on one side of one of armrest of the wheel chair so that in case of the handle being rotated, the vertical shaft, rotary plate and the connecting rod can move relatively and in turn rotate the suspension frame as well as the driving device; and when a control switch is turned on, the driving wheel can be rotated in either forward or reversed direction and thus move the wheel chair forward or backward.

A method and system for indexing adapters within a data processing system where the data processing system contains multiple existing adapters, where each of the multiple existing adapters is identified by particular indexing data. All adapters within the data processing system are scanned. A determination of whether or not any additional adapters have been added to the data processing system in addition to the multiple existing adapters is made. Particular indexing data is assigned to any additional adapters in response to determining that additional adapters have been added to the data processing system, where any additional adapters added to the data processing system are indexed into the data processing system without changing the particular indexing data of each of the multiple existing adapters.

A method and system for remotely booting a plurality of server blades in a BLADECENTER® and for updating each blade without the need for an administrator to access each blade via a separate user identification number and corresponding password. A temporary virtual local area network is created to provide an out-of-band communication channel between a management module and the plurality of server blades. The management module receives and saves the original boot sequence for each server blade and alters each boot sequence such that each server blade begins with a network boot. After receiving an initial transmission over the network containing server blade boot instructions and storing the boot instructions in a temporary boot server, subsequent server blade boot requests from the network are intercepted and the stored boot instructions are re-routed from the temporary boot server to each of the remaining blades in the blade server thus removing the need for repeated boot packet transmission over the network.
摘要:
A method, system and service for providing on-demand computing power to an owner of a multi-blade computer in a server blade chassis. The server blade chassis is delivered fully populated with server blades to a customer. However, only a portion of the total number of server blades is initially enabled. A management module in the server blade chassis monitors usage of the enabled server blades and associated hardware. If the usage of the enabled server blades exceeds a pre-defined parameter, then additional server blades in the server blade chassis are permanently turned on using the management module and a remotely provided key from the manufacturer of the multi-blade computer.
摘要:
A method and system for a failover management module for a server blade chassis. A virtual out-of-band network connects management modules in different server blade chassis. Upon a detection of a failure of the management module(s) in a first server blade chassis, a management module in a second server blade chassis takes over control of the first server blade chassis.

The present invention discloses a method and hard disk configuration for protecting data associated with a first image file in an appliance server after the first image file has been replaced with a second image file. In a first aspect, the method of the invention includes partitioning a hard disk of the appliance server into a plurality of partitions, wherein at least one of the plurality of partitions is a hidden partition and copying the data associated with the first image file to the hidden partition, wherein the data in the hidden partition is invisible to a network operating system during normal server operation. In another aspect, the hard disk of the invention includes a first partition for storing an image file, wherein the first partition stores one image file at one time, a second partition for storing data associated with the image file, wherein the second partition is visible to a network operating system in the first partition, a hidden partition, wherein the hidden partition is invisible to the network operating system in the first partition, means for replacing a first image file in the first partition with a second image file, and means for copying the data associated with the first image file from the second partition to the hidden partition when the first image file in the first partition is replaced with the second image file.
