    摘要: A method for automatically switching input/output (“I/O”) between partitioned systems based on system events includes monitoring a system state for each of two or more systems sharing an electronic display, where each of the two or more systems includes a processor executing an instance of an operating system, selecting a system of the two or more systems sharing the electronic display in response to determining that a change has occurred in the system state of the of the selected system, and switching an input of an I/O switch to send data for display of one or more elements of the selected system to the electronic display.

    摘要: Embodiments provide a method and a computer program product providing program instructions executable by a processor of a baseboard management controller in a multi-processor system to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations include identifying a number of cores present in each of a plurality of central processing units in the multi-processor system, initiating operation of the multi-processor system as a single unified node in response to each of the plurality of central processing units having an equal number of cores, and initiating partitioning of the multi-processor system into first and second independent partitioned nodes in response to a first set of one or more of the central processing units each having a first number of cores and a second set of one or more of the central processing units each having a second number of cores that is different than the first number of cores.

    摘要: A baseboard management controller in a multi-processor system may perform operations including: causing, during a first time period, the system to operate in a partitioned state with a first partitioned node including a first subset of components of the system and a second partitioned node including a second subset of components of the system, wherein the first and second partitioned nodes are independently operable nodes having their own operating systems, and wherein the first partitioned node boots from a first boot drive that is included in the first subset; causing, during a second time period, the system to operate in a unified state with a single unified node including components from both the first and second subsets of components, wherein the single unified node has its own operating system; and causing the first boot drive to be inaccessible to the second partitioned node and the single unified node.

    摘要: An apparatus for securely configuring a tenant VLAN includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect connection of a new device to a computing system. The new device is designated for use by a new tenant and the new device in a default state prior to configuration for use by the new tenant. The computing system is a multi-tenant system. The code is executable by the processor to command the new device to enter a provisioning state in response to detecting connection of the new device. The new device in the provisioning state is unable to access operational equipment of the computing system and data stored by tenants of the computing system.

    摘要: An apparatus for authorizing file access events includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to record hardware usage patterns prior to a file access event of a file, and correlate the hardware usage patterns with file access events targeting the file. The code is also executable to receive a file access event targeting the file, compare a hardware usage pattern preceding the received file access event targeting the file to the hardware usage patterns correlated with file access events targeting the file, and authorize the received file access event in response to the hardware usage pattern preceding the received file access event targeting the file matching a hardware usage pattern correlated to a file access event targeting the file.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for dynamically loading firmware based on geographic location. A location module determines a geographic location associated with a system. A firmware module determines a firmware configuration associated with the geographic location. A loading module dynamically accesses the firmware configuration associated with the geographic location from a remote data store, and loads the firmware configuration on the system.
