摘要:
Certain aspects of a method and system for managing network power policy and configuration of data center bridging may include a network domain that comprises a single logical point of management (LPM) that coordinates operation of one or more devices, such as network interface controllers (NICs), switches, and/or servers in the network domain: The single LPM may be operable to manage one or both of a network power policy and/or a data center bridging (DCB) configuration policy for the network domain.

For a platform level data model for indications based event control and data transfer, a management controller may enable performing indications based management operations that may be based on a management service utilizing CIM Indications model. The management controller may enable communication of indications based messaging and/or data. The indications may be triggered based on events generated and/or triggered in a plurality of managed entities. The events generation may be performed dynamically within the plurality of managed entities, or may be initiated via the management controller. The management controller may enable processing of partially generated indications, via the plurality of managed entities, and/or as pass-through router for full indications processed via the plurality of managed entities. The indications based management operations may also comprise subscription related operations wherein the management controller may enable performing processing of subscription requests, modifications, and/or deletions to facilitate external access via the device.

Methods and systems for data communication are disclosed and may include utilizing a multi-level lookup process for determining IPsec parameters from a security association database. The security association database may be stored in content addressable memory, and may include an Internet protocol address table, a security association lookup table, and a security association context table. The security association lookup and security association context tables may include a single table. An Internet protocol address table index may be looked up in the Internet protocol address table for a first lookup of the multi-level lookup process. A security protocol index may be looked up utilizing the Internet protocol address table index for a second lookup of the multi-level lookup process. The Internet protocol security parameters may be determined utilizing the security protocol index. IPsec processing may be performed utilizing the determined Internet protocol security parameters.
摘要:
A portion of management traffic, carried via network traffic, and received and/or transmitted via a network controller, may be processed externally to the network controller, wherein management messaging may be carried via network packets, and one or more headers may added to enable transmission and/or reception via the network controller. Packet filters may be setup, in the network controller, via the management controller, to enable determining network packets that may carry the management traffic. The management controller may utilize commands to setup packet filers in the network controller, wherein matching criteria, in received network packets, and/or corresponding actions that may be performed in matching packets, may be specified. The matching criteria may comprise specifying one or more header types that may be utilized in the received network packets. The network controller may generate filter identifiers, which may be utilized, subsequently, via the management controller to delete the packet filters.
摘要:
Certain aspects of a method and system for light-weight simple object access protocol (SOAP) transport for web services based management are disclosed. Aspects of a method may include managing a system using a simple object access protocol (SOAP) message that is mapped over one or both of: a remote management and control protocol (RMCP) and a RMCP security extensions protocol (RSP) to enable remote management of systems using Web services in out-of-band (OOB) management devices.
摘要:
Provided are a method, system, and program for updating a cache in which, in one aspect of the description provided herein, changes to data structure entries in the cache are selectively written back to the source data structure table maintained in the host memory. In one embodiment, translation and protection table (TPT) contents of an identified cache entry are written to a source TPT in host memory as a function of an identified state transition of the cache entry in connection with a memory operation and the memory operation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Provided are techniques for interrupt processing. An Input/Output device determines that an event has occurred. The Input/Output device determines a processor identifier and determines an event data structure identifier for an event data structure into which data for the event is stored using the processor identifier. The Input/Output device also determines a vector identifier for an interrupt message vector into which an interrupt message for the event is written. Then, interrupt message data is written to the interrupt message vector to generate an interrupt.
摘要:
A portion of management traffic, carried via network traffic, and received and/or transmitted via a network controller, may be processed externally to the network controller. A pass-through driver may be utilized, in the network controller, to enable transparent routing of management traffic that may be processed externally. The externally processed management traffic may comprise WS-Management based messaging, while management traffic that may comprise ASF based messaging may be processed internally in the network controller. An application processor may be utilized to perform external processing of received and/or transmitted management traffic. A management bus may be utilized to enable routing of management traffic processed external to the network controller. The management bus may also be utilized to enable platform operations during processing of management traffic. The application processor may invoke, via the management bus and/or the pass-through driver, platform based functionality maintained via the network controller.
摘要:
Aspects of a method and system for matching and repairing network configuration are provided. In this regard, one or more circuits and/or processors may be operable to determine a configuration of one or more parameters in a plurality of devices along a network path, and detect whether any of the one or more parameters are configured such that communication between the plurality of devices is disabled and/or suboptimal. The devices may comprise at least one server and one or more of a network switch, a network bridge, and a router. In instances that one or more parameters are incompatibly or sub-optimally configured, a notification of the incompatibility may be communicated to a network management entity and/or one or more messages may be generated to reconfigure the one or more parameters in one or more of the plurality of devices. The determining and/or detecting may be performed automatically in response to various events.
