Abstract: A processing system includes control circuitry to control the processing system, a remote management module to enable remote management of the processing system via a network, and an agent to operate as an intermediary between the remote management module and the control circuitry. The agent and the remote management module are configured to cooperatively implement an abstraction layer through which the agent and the remote management module communicate.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a remote management device is integrated into a processing system, such as a filer or other storage server, and the remote management device and administrative data (such as console data) generated by the processing system are accessible even if the processing system becomes inoperable. The processing system includes a console port that outputs administrative data in the form of administrative data during system operation. The remote management device is accessible remotely, for example through a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, or a combination of networks. The remote management device intercepts the administrative data output by the console port and stores the data into memory on the remote management device.

Abstract: Provided is a method and system for protecting data transactions transmitted on an integrated circuit bus. Specifically, by transmitting data along with the complement of the data from one component to another component that are connected by the integrated circuit bus, the data and complemented data can be compared for errors. Exemplary errors include bit flips. Comparisons include logical operations, such as XOR, that determine if an error has occurred during the transmission of the data or complemented data on the integrated circuit bus.

Abstract: An IBM PC compatible processing system typically has a BIOS installed as system firmware. During a boot process of the processing system, the BIOS loads a boot loader from one of the boot media, i.e., hard drives, floppy disks, CDs, USB flash memories, taps, etc. and passes control of the boot loader, the boot loader then loads an OS from the boot media. The present invention takes advantage of the higher reliability and availability provided by the system flash memory and stores a boot loader as system firmware in the system flash memory. Further, it provides changes in the BIOS boot process to load the boot loader from system memory, the ROM, for example, without relying on boot media. With this new process, the boot loader can be loaded even when the boot media is corrupt, defective or un-initialized.

Abstract translation: IBM PC兼容处理系统通常将BIOS作为系统固件进行安装。 在处理系统的引导过程中，BIOS从引导介质（即硬盘驱动器，软盘，CD，USB闪存，分接器等）中加载引导加载程序，并通过引导加载程序的控制，引导 加载器然后从引导介质加载操作系统。 本发明利用系统闪速存储器提供的更高的可靠性和可用性，并将引导加载程序作为系统固件存储在系统闪存中。 此外，它提供了BIOS引导过程中的更改，以从系统内存（例如ROM）加载引导加载程序，而不依赖引导介质。 通过这个新的过程，即使引导介质损坏，故障或未初始化，引导加载程序也可以加载。

Abstract: A remote management module receives a command from a support server in response to the remote management module initiating a first secure, authenticated connection with the support server, wherein the remote management module is integrated with, and monitors a condition of, a processing system. The remote management module executes the command to generate a result that provides diagnostic data about the processing system. The remote management module reports the result to the support server upon the remote management module initiating a second secure, authenticated connection with the support server.
