    摘要: Techniques are described that can be used to identify a defective communication channel in a communications network. A decoder in a receiver may decode a signal received from a network. The decoded signal may be re-encoded and compared with the signal received from the network. A count of differences between the re-encoded signal and the signal received from a network may be provided. An indication of errors remaining after the decoding may also be provided. Based on the count and the indication, a defect in the communication channel may be identified. A user may be notified and/or actions may take place.

    摘要: A method for preventing counterfeit of a hardware device is disclosed. The method comprises determining whether a first indicator for a hardware device is set, wherein the first indicator when set indicates that the device is not a counterfeit device, and if the first indicator is not set, then activating a counter, setting a second indicator when the counter expires, and operating the hardware device in a counterfeit mode when the second indicator is set, wherein the counterfeit mode identifies the hardware device as a counterfeit device. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a platform has an active and a dormant state. The platform includes a primary network interface and a mass storage, a management agent having a secondary network interface to receive a software update at least during the dormant state and further having a non-volatile memory to cache the software update; a memory subsystem to contain an updating software agent; a processor, coupled to the memory subsystem, the mass storage, the non-volatile memory and the primary network interface. The processor executes the updating software agent so as to install the software update after the platform transitions from the dormant state to the active state and before the primary network interface is communicatively enabled.

    摘要: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments for updating a networked machine having at least a dormant state and an active state. In various embodiments, when the machine it is a dormant state, it listens to a network for candidate updates, that is, updates that may be applicable to the machine. In some embodiments, determining the candidate update is an applicable update for the machine may be based at least in part on a variety of reasons, including testing if it has already been applied, does not actually update some aspect of the machine, conflicts with an existing configuration of the machine, conflicts with a policy of the machine, etc. The machine may cache some or all of the candidate updates or applicable updates, where a variety of rationales or policies may be used to control update retention. When the machine enters an active state, such as a power on or non-sleep mode, or other active state, the machine may validate integrity of an applicable update if not done while the machine was dormant, and optionally choose to install it.

    摘要: Provided are a method, system, and program for determining a boot server network address from which to download an operating system during a boot sequence. A request for a network address to use to communicate on a network to a server during a boot sequence is transmitted. An operation is performed to download an operating system from a first type of boot server network address indicated in a response from the server to the request. An operation is selectively performed to download the operating system from a second type of boot server network address in response to determining that the response does not indicate the first type of boot server network address. The downloaded operating system is loaded.
