    摘要: A method, system, and program product supporting dynamic configuring of a multi-node computer. The system includes a scalability management module directly coupled to each node in the multi-node computer. The scalability management module sets and maintains configuration parameters for the multi-node computer, wherein if one of the nodes is removed from the multi-node computer, a hot-spare node can be dynamically configured to replace the removed node without having to reconfiguring or physically reconnect the remaining nodes

    摘要: A method and system for method of removing a node from a multi-node computer. The node receives a system management interrupt (SMI), resulting in a quiescenting of only that node. The SMI receiving node then polls other nodes in the multi-node computer to determine if the SMI affects an operation of any of the other nodes, and quiescents any other node affected by the SMI. Each quiescent node then transfers all of the contents of its system memory to a backup memory in an unaffected remote node in the multi-node computer. The remote node than assumes the function of the removed node that had received the SMI. The method and system thus allows node removal in the event of a hot-swap request or a predicted failure of a node.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to boot ROM handling and provide a method, system and computer program product for optimized boot ROM handling for I/O devices. In one embodiment of the invention, a ROM scan area optimization method can be provided. The method can include pre-processing multiple boot ROM images to determine memory space requirements in the ROM scan area for all of the boot ROM images. The method further can include partitioning the ROM scan area into multiple, different static portions and at least one dynamic paged portion. Finally, the method can include generating an optimal arrangement of the boot ROM images defining placement of some of the boot ROM images in corresponding ones of the static portions, and others of the boot ROM images in the dynamic paged portion.

    摘要: A computer system that initializes a fraction of the computer system's memory for execution of video during booting of the computer system is provided. The computer system can include a first portion of BIOS code on a ROM device, wherein the first portion includes instructions for initializing the fraction. The computer system further can include a second portion of BIOS code that copies itself to the fraction upon completion of initialization of the fraction, wherein the second portion executes on the fraction and wherein the second portion initializes system memory and initializes a video buffer. The computer system further can include a copy of the second portion located on the ROM device, wherein the copy of the second portion executes until video buffer initialization is completed but before all of the system memory is initialized. Further, the video buffer displays video before all of the computer system's memory is initialized.
