Abstract: A system and method for providing multiple options for booting-up a remote computing device is disclosed. The system has a remote management station, in network communication with a computing device. The computing device has hardware components and a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) basic input output system (BIOS), including multiple power-on self-test (POST) routines. A controller is in communication with the UEFI BIOS and in network communication with the remote management station. The controller receives a selection of one of the plurality of POST routines from the management station. The controller boots up the computing device with the selected POST routine. The POST routines include a normal POST and other specialized routines such as a fast boot option, a safety boot option, a diagnostic boot option and a factory boot option.

Abstract: A method for power management by a rack management controller (RMC) of a server rack includes collecting power consumption data from a first baseboard management controller (BMC) of a first server in the server rack and sending the power consumption data to a management server. The RMC receives power requirements from the management server and determines a power setting based on the power consumption data and the power requirements. The RMC requests the first BMC to limit power consumption of the first server according to the power setting.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for hardware recovery are disclosed. In some examples, a system can detect a hardware error and identify a system component associated with the hardware error. The system can then generate a request configured to trigger an operating system of the system to place the system in a particular operating state. The particular operating state can be determined based on a component type of the system component. The particular operating state can be a first sleep state when the component type is a peripheral component or a second sleep state when the component type is a processor, a memory, or a power supply. The second sleep state can result in a lower power resource consumption than the first sleep state. The system can generate an indication that the system component can be replaced without restarting the operating system.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method to secure a network device such as a server. The network device has a memory storing a static credential file. A basic input output system operates a security module that gathers an IP address of the router and an IP address of the network device, via a query to a network manager when power is enabled to the network device. The gathered IP addresses are compared with stored IP addresses in the static credential file. The operating system of the network device is prevented from booting if the IP addresses do not match. In addition, a baseboard management controller is operable to receive an encrypted credential file. The encrypted credential file is decrypted and compared with the static content file. The baseboard management controller shuts down power to the network device if the credential file does not match the static content file.

Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable storage devices for providing protection mechanisms to a server motherboard prior to its booting. A system configured according to this would, upon receiving power at a motherboard, and prior to booting the motherboard: generate a nonce, send the nonce to a first component on the motherboard, and send the nonce to a second component on the motherboard. The system then receives a response from at least one of the first component on the motherboard and the second component on the motherboard, wherein the response is based on a communication protocol between the first component and the second component, the communication protocol utilizing the nonce. When the response indicates a correct hardware configuration, the system performs the booting of the motherboard.

Abstract: A system and method for distributing tasks between computing devices in a rack. Each of the computing devices have hardware resources and is coupled to a management network. A rack management controller monitors the utilization of hardware resources by each of the computing devices. The rack management controller allocates performance of tasks, such as operating virtual machines, to some of the computing devices to maximize computing devices with substantially full hardware resource utilization. The rack management controller minimizes the allocation of tasks to computing devices with less than full hardware resource utilization. The rack management controller commands any idle computing devices to minimize power consumption.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology provide methods for activating a security module of a rack system prior to the loading of an operating system. The security module can be configured to examine server platform security, communicate with an administrator through a baseboard management controller (BMC), certify signatures of firmware pieces on a motherboard of the rack system, exclude malware by isolating unsigned UEFI images, examine a signature list and security key installed on the motherboard, and/or report status of security management to a controller of the rack system (e.g., BMC). When the security module determines that an uncertified firmware or a bootable storage with malware is loaded onto the rack system, the security module can stop process(es) associated with the uncertified firmware and/or the bootable storage, and subsequently send a report the administrator.

Abstract: A system and method for providing security key exchange and management prior to the operating system of the server and also provides for executing various security functions to prevent a virus or malicious software from propagating through the server and the network. The system and method utilize the BIOS firmware and baseboard management controller (BMC), which are more secure since they do not rely on open source code for software plug-ins from the user layer. As a result, a secure code can be created for key management with a globally unique identifier (GUID). The system and method provides for a network manager to easily and flexibly manage multiple security keys for a rack server system.

Abstract: A baseboard management controller (BMC) of a system can retrieve logged system events from a non-volatile storage of the BMC and receive a command from an administrator device for the BMC to collect system debug information. The BMC can obtain debug information from a component of the system, in response to receiving the command. The BMC can save the debug information to a debug file and send the debug file to the administrator device.
Abstract translation: 系统的基板管理控制器（BMC）可以从BMC的非易失性存储器检索记录的系统事件，并从管理员设备接收用于BMC的命令来收集系统调试信息。 响应于接收到该命令，BMC可以从系统的组件获取调试信息。 BMC可以将调试信息保存到调试文件中，并将调试文件发送到管理员设备。
