摘要: A combination heat sink/air director apparatus includes conduction plates extending into gaps between dual in-line memory module (“DIMM”) installed in computing device. A plurality of thermal interface material (“TIM”) pads are coupled to each side of each of the plurality of conduction plates. A heat sink thermally is coupled to the conduction plates and mounted above the conduction plates. Air impedance of air flow through an interface includes air flow to the heat sink is selected to balance air flow between the interface and components adjacent to the interface. A chosen percentage of air flow passes through the interface for the balance of air flow. Each conduction plate and the TIM pads coupled to each side of the conduction plate are sized to contact and thermally couple to the DIMMs of the plurality of DIMMs on either side of the conduction plate and associated TIM pads.

摘要: A method for allowing a firmware update when a digital certificate for a firmware update image is expired includes initiating a firmware update of a computing device and determining, using a secure boot process, that a firmware update image has an expired digital certificate. The firmware update image is stored in nonvolatile memory accessible to a service processor and to a host processor of the computing device. The method includes determining that the firmware update image and an image of firmware with code of the secure boot process were digitally signed by a same entity and overriding the secure boot process to allow execution of the firmware update image in response to determining that the firmware update image and the image of the firmware with code of the secure boot process were digitally signed by a same entity.

摘要: A method for automatically switching between partition configurations at a scheduled time period includes storing, at a service processor, a plurality of partition configurations for a computing system, the plurality of partition configurations allocating hardware resources of the computing system. The method includes associating a configuration schedule with the plurality of partition configurations, where each of the plurality of partition configurations is associated with a scheduled time period, and booting the computing system to a particular partition configuration at a particular scheduled time period corresponding to the particular partition configuration.

摘要: A method for verifying correct power cord usage includes detecting, with a close-range sensor, a close-range sensor tag in a power cord near a power receptacle of a power supply of a computing device and reading cord information stored on the close-range sensor tag. The method includes determining from the cord information that the power cord is of a type that is not rated for use with the power supply and disabling startup of the power supply in response to determining that the power cord is of a type that is not rated for use with the power supply.

摘要: A replacement node replaces a failed node and a baseboard management controller (BMC) for the replacement node generates a nonce code that is accessible to an authenticated user. An edge management node receives the nonce code from the user and sends a maintenance token to a BMC of a peer node in an edge cluster, wherein the peer nodes BMCs within the cluster are in a BMC federation that included the failed node BMC and have access to a BMC configuration for the failed node. The management node sends the token and the nonce code to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the token. The peer node BMC sends the token received from the management node to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the peer node BMC. The authenticated peer node BMC may then deploy the BMC configuration to the replacement node BMC.

摘要: A baseboard management controller in a partitionable multi-processor system may perform operations including receiving a plurality of event notifications from the partitionable multi-processor system including one or more event notifications from a first partitioned node including a first subset of hardware devices of the multi-processor system and one or more event notifications from a second partitioned node including a second subset of the hardware devices of the multi-processor system, wherein each event notification identifies an event and a specific one of the hardware devices that experienced the event. The operations may further include receiving a request for an event log for the first partitioned node and providing the requested event log for the first partitioned node including only those event notifications that identify a hardware device that is included in the first partitioned node.

摘要: A computer program product includes a non-volatile computer readable medium and non-transitory program instructions embodied therein, the program instructions being configured to be 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 initiating disabling of a processor interconnect between first and second central processing units in the multi-processor system and initiating boot of the first central processing unit, wherein the first central processing unit operates in a first partitioned node independent of the second central processing unit.

摘要: An apparatus includes a plurality of data buffer and multiplexer devices that communicate data signals with the host memory controller at twice the clock rate that the data buffer and multiplexer devices communicate first and second data signals with first and second memory modules. The apparatus further includes a registered clock driver that communicates host command and address signals at twice the clock rate that the registered clock driver communicates first and second command and address signals with the first and second memory modules. The second data signals and second command and address signals may be directed to a data conversion module that converts the signals to be communicated over a serial computer expansion bus with the second memory module.

摘要: An orchestration controller in a storage solution may establish namespaces, assign each namespace to a host, and establish software-defined storage controllers to handle input-output operations between the hosts and the namespaces. Each namespace is assigned to a given host and the input-output operations to and from the namespace are handled by a specific primary software-defined storage controller. In response to failure of the software defined controller, a secondary software-defined storage controller will take over handling of the input-output operations to and from the namespace. Also, in response to the failure of the software-defined storage controller, the host will direct subsequent input-output operations destined for the namespace to the secondary software-defined storage controller.
