Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for reducing load by filtering out broadcast messages. In some embodiments, a system may receive a broadcast message at a device at a first time. The system can monitor the device until a second time when a pre-determined number of broadcast messages have been received at the device. Based on a difference between the first time and the second time, the system can determine a filtering time duration. The system can then filter out further broadcast messages received at the device after the second time for a period of time that is equivalent to the filtering time duration.

Abstract: An operation method for a server system includes: (A) under control of a hardware abstraction layer (HAL), a plurality of node management units sharing a hardware resource; (B) if If one of the node management units needs to use the hardware resource, the method includes the node management unit sending an instruction or a data to the HAL and accordingly the HAL using the hardware resource in represent of the node management unit; and (C) if. If an external instruction is received, the method includes the HAL identifying which transmission port of the hardware resource receives the external instruction, so to send the external instruction to a corresponding node management unit, and. Then, after the external instruction is executed, the method includes the corresponding node management unit sending back an information to the HAL so that the HAL sends back the information to an external system administrator.

Abstract: A baseboard management controller (BMC) of a system can receive a first serial output from a first server device and a second serial output from a second server device. The BMC can send the first serial output and the second serial output to a network interface controller (NIC) for transmission over a network to a computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to automatic recovery of a computing system. The present technology discloses techniques that can enable an automatic detection and recovery of a switch device from system malfunctions. According to some embodiments, a watchdog timer can detect switch system malfunctions and send out signals to reset a switch central processor unit. According to some embodiments, the switching functions can be maintained during a reset of the switch central processor unit.

Abstract: A system and method of using a baseboard management controller (BMC) to detect a fault on a communication bus. The BMC is connected to and monitors the operation of the communication bus. The BMC automatically detects a communication bus hang and reports bus hang to the host. The BMC attempts to access the communication bus. If the BMC can access the communication bus, the BMC then resets all of the devices connected to the communication bus. The BMC then attempts to contact components connected to the devices. If a component is not accessible via its communication device, the BMC blocks the channel used by the component and reports that information. Once the BMC detects that the component has been removed, the BMC attempts to recover the channel via the I2C/SM bus for use by the computer network.
