    摘要: Systems and methods provide multi-channel transmission of a firmware image to a hardware component of an IHS (Information Handling System), where the firmware image is transmitted by a remote access controller of the IHS that supports remote management of the IHS. Upon a firmware being initiated, the remote access controller determines an available bandwidth of a first signaling pathway of the hardware component and also determines an available bandwidth of a second signaling pathway of the hardware component. One portion of the firmware image is transmitted to the hardware component using the first signaling pathway, where a size of that portion is selected based on the available bandwidth of the first signaling pathway. Another portion of the firmware image is transmitted to the hardware component using the second signaling pathway, where a size of that portion is selected based on the available bandwidth of the second signaling pathway.

    摘要: Effectively reading multiple temperature sensors on memory modules may include reading a first of a plurality of temperature sensors on each memory module of a plurality of memory modules, reading a second of the plurality of temperature sensors on each memory module, after reading the first sensors on each memory module, and, if present, reading a third of the plurality of temperature sensors on each memory module of the plurality of memory modules, after reading the second of the sensors on each memory module. The first temperature sensors may be reread prior to reading the third temperature sensors, particularly where the first temperature sensors are middle temperature sensors on each memory module. Upon failing to read a particular temperature sensor, neighboring temperature sensors of the particular temperature sensor may be polled, such as (an) other temperature sensor(s) on the same memory module and/or (a) temperature sensor(s) on adjacent memory module(s).

    摘要: An information handling system (IHS), baseboard management controller (BMC) and method are provided for preventing critical operations when power shutdown is predicted. A service processor of a BMC of the IHS executes a predicted power operation (PPO) utility to monitor health data from physical memory devices of memory of the IHS. Based on the health data, the service processor predicts that at least one of the physical memory devices will fail, causing a power shutdown of the IHS. To prevent any critical operation that is executed by a host processing subsystem of the IHS being adversely affected by the shutdown, the service processor of the BMC updates information contained in a PPO software sensor to indicate the predicted power down.

    摘要: An information handling system (IHS), baseboard management controller (BMC) and method provide for coordinating the BMC and the host processor subsystem to avoid conflicts between power operations by BMC and maintenance activities by the host processor subsystem. In response to determining that a power operation is requested for the host processor subsystem, a service processor of the BMC determining whether a planned power operation (PPO) software sensor contains information indicating that the host processor subsystem is executing a critical operation utility. In response to determining that the host processor subsystem is not executing the critical operation utility, service processor updates/modifies information contained in the PPO software sensor to indicate that a power operation is scheduled. The modified information prevents the host processor subsystem from subsequently initiating execution of the critical operation utility. The service processor also schedules the power operation of the host processor subsystem.

    摘要: An information handling system (IHS), power operation controller and method provide for execution of delegated processes in a cluster without inadvertent interruption due to a power operation of the IHS. The power operation controller of the IHS has a processing subsystem that is communicatively coupled to a network interface and a memory containing a power operation utility. The processing subsystem executes, via the network interface, a delegated process on a network resource. The processing subsystem executes the power operation utility to cause the IHS to determine whether a request for a power operation of the IHS is received. In response to determining that a power operation is received, the processing subsystem transfers the delegated process to another network resource. In addition, during a transference of the delegated process, the processing subsystem prevents the IHS from performing a power operation of the IHS that would cause interruption of the delegated process.
