Method and system of error logging. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including detecting assertion of an error pin by a processor system, (comprising at least a main processor and a chipset, the assertion of the error pin an indication to reboot the processor system) the detecting by a reset circuit, notifying a management processor (distinct from the main processor) that the error pin is asserted (the notifying by the reset circuit), writing to a plurality of registers in the chipset (the writing by the management processor), de-asserting a reset pin of the main processor, and then executing by the main processor an error-handling code to generate an error log.

Systems, methods and computing components are provided for dynamically reallocating a plurality of computing components among one or more logical partitions. A first computing component that is allocated to a first partition may have a management processor. A second computing component may be allocated to a second partition. The management processor of the first computing component may be configured to reallocate the first computing component to a third partition without affecting the second computing component.

Systems, methods and computing components are provided for allocating a plurality of computing components among one or more logical partitions. Each of the plurality of computing components may have a management processor that is configured to assume a role among management processors of a partition. Each management processor may then cooperate with other management processors of the partition to control resources of the partition.

A computer system provides for connecting consecutively positioned modules to operate collectively as server. Each module calculates a modulo difference between its position and that of a module serving as a clock source; each module selects a clock input as a function of the result of that calculation.

Techniques are provided for assigning a device to a desired network. In one embodiment, the device is connected via a network switch to the network. A value of a configurable parameter corresponds to a data speed that would be used to transfer the data between the device and the network. To assign the device to the network, the value of the parameter corresponding to a desired speed is set in the network circuitry of the device. The network switch, interfaces with the device, detects the speed, and, based on this speed, assigns the device to a corresponding network. Additionally, the switch can assign the data duplex based on a value of a configurable duplex parameter set in the network circuitry.

Various embodiments of a method [800] of distributing configuration information within a predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition are described. In one embodiment, a configuration rule at a database for a predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition is accessed, wherein conjoined blades within the blade partition are coupled with management processors [805]. A portion of the configuration rule is compared with a hardware configuration of the blade partition [810]. The portion of the configuration information is an identification of the conjoined blades [810]. When the portion of the configuration rule correlates with the hardware configuration, the configuration rule is provided to the management processors of the blade partition [815].

Various embodiments of a method of configuring a predefined set of electrically isolated blades to function as a single blade are described. In one embodiment, a configuration rule is accessed, wherein a portion of the configuration rule assigns roles to management processors coupled with the predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition. Assistant management processors are directed to configure blade manageability modules to support the assigned roles. The blade manageability modules are coupled with the management processors. In one embodiment, the assistant management processors are directed to configure resources to be shared across the blade partition according to the configuration rule. After determining that the conjoined blades are configured according to the configuration rule, the conjoined blades are initialized. Thus, the conjoined blades are coordinated to function as a single blade.

Method and apparatus of separating packets. Specifically, a method of separating data packets in a memory buffer is disclosed. The method locates a memory buffer containing a pre-selected address at a buffer header of the memory buffer. A first data packet containing the buffer header is separated from a remaining part of the memory buffer. The first data packet is associated with a first packet length. The method then searches the remaining part of the memory buffer to locate a plurality of packet headers associated with a plurality of concatenated data packets. Each of the plurality of packet headers contains the pre-selected address. The method then separates the plurality of concatenated data packets, that is associated with a plurality of concatenated packet lengths, for processing.
