    摘要: A data processing system and method are disclosed for efficiently maintaining security during a booting of the system. The system includes a plurality of boot devices. One of a plurality of password requirements are specified separately for each of the plurality of boot devices. In response to an attempt to boot the system utilizing one of the plurality of boot devices, a determination is made regarding whether a first of the plurality of password requirements is specified for the one of the plurality of boot devices. In response to a determination that the first of the plurality of password requirements is specified for the one of said plurality of boot devices, a correct entry of a password is required prior to permitting the system to boot utilizing the one of the plurality of boot devices.

    摘要: There are many files in the current generation of computers, especially on the hardfile, that are not used or used only infrequently during operation. For instance, the system may contain many help text files which may never be accessed. The same applies to the DLL's. Also, some files are accessed only during a boot cycle. The present invention provides a method and program to track the locations of files in a computer which have been accessed so that, when an error occurs, only the files that need to be tested are diagnostically tested for errors, thus saving time and resources.

    摘要: A technique for providing a software patch to an associated computer system includes receiving, at a wireless communication device, a communication. Next, it is determined, at the wireless communication device, whether the communication is associated with a software patch available for the associated computer system. When the communication is associated with the software patch, a notification is sent from the wireless communication device to the associated computer system that the software patch is available.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reassigning a client. A selection module selects a second computation module that is hardware compatible with a first computation module. A suspension module suspends a software process for a client executing on the first computation module. An execution state module copies a computation module execution state of the first computation module to the second computation module. A memory map module copies a memory map of a software process image associated with the software process and stored in a first storage system from the first computation module to the second computation module. In one embodiment, a resumption module resumes the software process executing on the second computation module.

    摘要: In accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is broadly contemplated herein the managing of a POP not solely in the BIOS but at least partly in a more secure location. In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, this location could be in a NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) inside a TPM (trusted platform module). Most preferably, this location will contain code that the BIOS preferably will need to access and employ in order to complete the booting of the system.

    摘要: A hard disk drive unit includes a microprocessor programmed to erase data stored within the drive unit if it is determined that a process potentially leading to a misuse of the data stored within the drive unit, and if secure disposal configuration data stored in nonvolatile storage within the drive indicates that the data is to be erased. Such a process includes initializing the drive unit for operation without providing a password matching a password stored in the drive unit, initializing the drive unit in a system not having CMOS configuration data matching the drive unit, and determining that a failure rate within the drive unit exceeds a threshold level.
