Abstract: A system and method for tracking the components of a computing device is disclosed. Each of the components of the computing devices includes identification data. At least one bus is coupled to the components. A memory device stores identification information corresponding with each of the components. A management controller is coupled to the bus and the memory device. The management controller periodically requests identification data from each of the components over the bus. The management controller receives the requested identification data from each of the components. The management controller compares the received identification data with the stored identification data to determine if any of the components has been replaced.

Abstract: A method for ensuring management controller firmware security, by a security manager of a computing device, includes storing a public key and raw identity data, and obtaining, from a management firmware for a management controller of the computing device, encrypted identity data. The security manager decrypts the encrypted identity data with the public key into decrypted identity data, and compares the decrypted identity data with the raw identity data to determine whether the management firmware is authentic. The security manager protects the computing device from harm by the management firmware, in response to determining that the management firmware is not authentic.

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.

Abstract: A method for managing network wake-up commands by a controller of a server includes receiving a system health data. The method includes receiving a network wake-up command from a network interface controller of the server. The method further includes the determining whether to wake-up the server based on the system health data to yield a determination, and commanding the server to wake-up, when the determination is to wake-up the server.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to data storage in a computing system. The present technology discloses techniques that that can enable an optimized mechanism to change spinning speed of data storage disk drives. The present technology can use a service controller, e.g. a Baseboard Management Device (BMC), to communicate with a disk controller to change the spinning speed of disk drives. The present technology can improve energy efficiency by efficiently controlling the spinning speed of disk drives. It can also reduce data access latency by promptly spinning up a disk from a spun-down state.
