    摘要: A platform-independent method of securely resetting a processing device includes detecting a predefined trigger event by a baseboard management controller (BMC) that executes system firmware on behalf of a managed host. In response to the predefined trigger event, the system is booted into a safe mode. While in the safe mode, a central processing system of the managed host is maintained in an off state, and a self-heal agent detects architectural characteristics of the managed host, establishes a connection to a cloud-based firmware catalog service, transmits the architectural characteristics of the managed host to the cloud-based firmware catalog service, and downloads a new version of system firmware from the cloud-based firmware catalog service that is compatible with the architectural characteristics of the managed host. The new version of the system firmware is automatically installed without powering on the central processing system of the managed host.
