    摘要: Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage operation of the data processing systems, the data processing systems may present unified communication and management systems. The unified communication and management systems may be used to manage the operation of any number of management controller embedded devices hosted by the data processing systems. The unified communication and management systems may allow for communication with and management of the management controller embedded devices without requiring that the management systems directly interact with the management controller embedded devices.

    摘要: Scalable life-cycle maintenance of hardware. In an embodiment, a software-defined Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) server is executed to receive a request, comprising an identifier, from hardware. The identifier is compared to a plurality of attribute sets. When the identifier does not match any of the attribute sets, a task graph is generated for a PXE process for the hardware, and an initial stage of the task graph is initiated. Otherwise, when the identifier matches one of the attribute sets, the task graph associated with that attribute set is retrieved, and the a next stage in the task graph is initiated. In addition, a display key may be used to tether hardware with a user system. Furthermore, hardware may be validated by comparing signatures using a validating operating system, and a boot order of operating systems in the hardware may be changed once the hardware device is validated.

    摘要: Techniques and architecture are described for validating and verifying iPXE scripts prior to execution during a booting process. During the booting process of a network device, right after the UEFI/BIOS stage of the booting process, a trusted iPXE script may make a request to a network server for the ownership voucher and owner certificate of the network device. The ownership voucher and owner certificate may then be stored in a trusted platform module (TPM) on the network device. In configurations, the retrieved owner certificate may be validated by the ownership voucher. The owner certificate may be used to validate iPXE scripts. Once validated, the iPXE scripts may be executed and the booting process may be continued to the kernel loading step and the application loading step. During a subsequent booting process of the network device, the ownership voucher and owner certificate may be retrieved from the TPM.
