    摘要: A method and system for configuring an operating system in a computer system including language selection during bootup rather than at manufacture. A first aspect of the method and system comprises providing a plurality of operating system images in the computer system, each of the plurality of operating system images being based upon a particular language, selecting one of the plurality of operating system images based on the language supported by the computer system and loading the selected operating system image into the computer system. A second aspect of the method and system comprises providing a language-independent operating system image in the computer system, determining a language supported by the computer system, loading the language-independent operating system image into the computer system, and associating the language supported by the computer system with the language-independent operating system image.

    摘要: A method and system for providing automatic notification of an end of lease of a computer system and its location within a computer network is disclosed. The computer network includes a server computer system and multiple client computer systems. A message is initially sent from the server computer system to all the client computer systems to inquire the lease status of each of the client computer systems. At each of the client computer systems, a determination is made as to whether or not a current date falls within a predetermined amount of days from the end of lease date for the client computer system. If the current date falls within the predetermined amount of days from the end of lease date for the client computer system, the physical location of the client computer system is obtained from a storage device located at an Ethernet wall plate to which the client computer system is attached. An alert message, which includes the physical location of the client computer system, is then generated by the client computer system. The alert message is subsequently transmitted from the client computer system to the server computer system.

    摘要: A method and system for eliminating peripheral device conflicts in a multibus data-processing system which includes a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) plus having multiple slots for interconnecting peripheral devices in an automatically derived configuration and an Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus having multiple slots for interconnecting peripheral devices in a user-selected configuration. Each slot included within the ISA bus includes a reset line for temporarily disabling an associated slot in response to an application of electrical power to the data-processing system in order to prevent power transition problems. In response to an existing or potential device conflict brought about by a user-selected configuration, a control signal is selectively applied to the reset line for one or more slots included within the ISA bus, temporarily disabling those slots during normal operation of the data-processing system.

    摘要: A computer system is disclosed that includes a primary processor and a service processor operable regardless of a power state of the computer system. A non-volatile memory device is communicatively coupled to the primary processor and the service processor. The non-volatile memory device stores firmware which includes a first list of patches required for installation on the computer system and a second list of patches previously installed on the computer system. A comparator module is provided to determine whether there are patches included in the first list that are not included in second list. A boot module is provided to boot a maintenance operating system in the event the first list includes patches not included in the second list. The maintenance operating system is configured to install, on the computer system, patches included in the first list but not the second list.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed of forward caching for a managed client. A storage module stores a software image on a storage device of a backend server. The backend server provides virtual disk storage on the storage device through a first intermediate network point for a plurality of diskless data processing devices. Each diskless data processing device communicates directly with the first intermediate network point. The storage module caches an image instance of the software image at the first intermediate network point. A tracking module detects an update to the software image on the storage device. The storage module copies the updated software image to the first intermediate network point as an updated image instance.

    摘要: A method and system for recovering a master boot record within a data processing system. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a master boot record recovery setup utility is invoked by a user. In response to invoking the master boot record recovery utility, the master boot record in a first bootable device is copied to an alternate non-volatile storage device. A recovery flag is set within BIOS indicating that the MBR has been securely copied. In response to a failed boot attempted from the first boot device, the copy of said master boot record within said alternate non-volatile storage device is accessed and utilized to boot the system.
