Abstract: Apparatus and storage media for auto-configuration of an internal network interface are disclosed. Embodiments may install an internal VLAN manager in a logically partitioned computer system along with network agents in each of the partitions in the logically partitioned system to facilitate configuring an internal communications network and the corresponding internal network interfaces in each participating partition. In particular, an administrator accesses internal VLAN manager, selects an internal VLAN ID, selects each of the participating partitions, and configures the communications network with global parameters and ranges. The internal VLAN manager then generates partition parameters and incorporates them into messages for each of the partitions selected to participate in the internal network. Each of the participating partitions receives one of the messages and, in response, invokes the corresponding network agent that extracts partition parameters from the message and creates or re-configures an internal network interface based upon the parameters.

Abstract: At least one input/output (I/O) firmware partition is provided in a partitioned environment to facilitate access to I/O resources owned by the at least one I/O firmware partition. The I/O resources of an I/O firmware partition are shared by one or more other partitions of the environment, referred to as consumer partitions. The consumer partitions use the I/O firmware partition to access the I/O resources. Since the I/O firmware partitions are responsible for providing access to the I/O resources owned by those partitions, the consumer partitions are relieved of this task, reducing complexity and costs in the consumer partitions.

Abstract translation: 在分区环境中提供至少一个输入/输出（I / O）固件分区，以便于访问至少一个I / O固件分区拥有的I / O资源。 I / O固件分区的I / O资源由环境的一个或多个其他分区共享，称为消费者分区。 消费者分区使用I / O固件分区来访问I / O资源。 由于I / O固件分区负责提供对这些分区所拥有的I / O资源的访问，所以消费者分区可以免除此任务，从而降低了消费者分区中的复杂性和成本。

Abstract: A method and an apparatus is presented for updating flash memory that contains a write protected code, a first copy of rewritable recovery code, a second copy of rewritable recovery code, and a rewritable composite code. Each block of rewritable code contains a checksum code to detect if the block of code has been corrupted. If it is detected that the first copy of the recovery code is corrupted then the second copy of the recovery code is copied into the first copy of the recovery code. If it is detected the second copy of the recovery code is corrupted then the first copy of the recovery code is copied into the second copy of the recovery code. The recovery code is responsible for checking and updating the composite code. If it is detected the composite code is corrupted then a fresh copy of the composite code is obtained from a removable storage device or a network connection. The data processing system is booted by executing the write protected code, the first copy of the recovery code, and the composite code. There is a minimum of redundant code by only replicating two copies of the recovery code while, at the same time, guaranteeing both the integrity and the updateability of the flash memory.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种用于更新包含写保护代码，可重写恢复代码的第一副本，可重写恢复代码的第二副本和可重写复合代码的闪存的方法和装置。 每个可重写代码块包含一个校验和代码，用于检测代码块是否已损坏。 如果检测到恢复代码的第一个副本已损坏，则恢复代码的第二个副本将被复制到恢复代码的第一个副本中。 如果检测到恢复代码的第二个副本已损坏，则恢复代码的第一个副本将被复制到恢复代码的第二个副本中。 恢复代码负责检查和更新复合代码。 如果检测到复合代码已损坏，则从可移动存储设备或网络连接获得复合代码的新副本。 数据处理系统通过执行写保护代码，恢复代码的第一个副本和复合代码来引导。 只有复制两个副本的恢复代码，同时保证了闪存的完整性和可更新性，才有最少的冗余代码。

Abstract: A method and system for faster initial program loads by normally booting a data processing system without extended diagnostic tests is disclosed. A service processor is provided and located within the data processing system to monitor the data processing system during runtime operations for a system failure. When a system failure occurs, the service processor enables a diagnostic flag located in non-volatile memory. On the first or next boot of the data processing system after repair of the system failure, the diagnostic flag indicates to the service processor to perform an extended diagnostics test. Upon completion of the extended diagnostics test, the diagnostic flag is disabled and the service processor once again monitors the data processing system for a system failure.

Abstract: An air bag (20) comprising: an inflatable cushion (22) portion and in inlet portion (24) through which inflation gas is received, and an airflow baffle (30; 30a) which creates a low pressure pocket directly downstream of itself and causes the air bag to initially begin to inflate laterally. The baffle includes a flexible panel within the cushion portion downstream of the inlet portion, for diverting at least a portion of the inflation gas to between an edge of the baffle and an adjacent inner surface of the cushion.
