    摘要: Checkpoint snapshots of segments of system memory are taken while an operating system is booting in a computer system. The segments of system memory are stored in non-volatile memory as hibernation files. In response to detecting a request for a system reboot of the OS, an affected hibernation file, which corresponds to an affected segment of system memory that will change during the system reboot of the OS, is identified. A restoration of the system memory via a wake-up from hibernation is then initiated. The wake-up from hibernation proceeds until the affected hibernation file is reached, such that initial steps in the system reboot are bypassed. Thereafter, subsequent steps, which are after the bypassed initial steps in the system reboot, are executed.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a computer system has a plurality of chassis interconnected by cables. Each cable initially connects a unique port pair consisting of a port of one chassis and a port of another chassis. The disconnection of cables is monitored, including electronically recording a disconnection sequence in which the port pairs are disconnected by removing each cable from at least one port of the respective port pair. Visual guidance is provided for re-cabling the computer system by sequentially identifying the port pairs in a reversal of the disconnection sequence, wherein identifying each port pair includes illuminating visual indicators associated with the ports of each port pair with a matching illumination pattern.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a method of initializing a federated computer system from a fabric of nodes connected by a federated interface. Each node casts a vote to the federated interface for a candidate firmware version supported by the node casting the vote. The candidate firmware version having received the greatest number of votes is identified, and the computer system is initialized as a federated system of the nodes that support the firmware version identified as having received the greatest number of votes. A process of iterative voting may be used to identify a greater number of nodes supporting a compatible firmware version.

    摘要: Embodiments include a power-efficient failover method. The method includes operating a primary server at a normal operating state in which program code is executed, and dynamically generating a backup of the results of the executed program code while in the normal operating state. The method further includes operating a redundant server at a reduced power state in which less power is consumed than in the normal operating state of the primary server. The workload of the primary server may be assumed according to the backup in response to a failure of the primary server. The power state of the redundant server is managed, including maintaining the redundant server in the reduced power state prior to detecting a failure of the primary server and increasing the power state of the redundant server and assuming the workload of the primary server in response to the failure of the primary server.
