摘要: In one embodiment, a fixed chassis power budget is dynamically allocated to a plurality of servers inserted into a multi-server chassis. An inserted server may be inventoried by sequentially identifying server components, categorically-defined component power limits, and actual component power requirements of the inventoried components. A power permission may be granted to the inserted server prior to completion of the inventory, based on power-related information inferred from a chassis and server specification or from the inventoried components.

摘要: In one embodiment, a computer system has a plurality of chassis interconnected by cables. Each cable initially connects a unique port pair consisting of a port of one chassis and a port of another chassis. The disconnection of cables is monitored, including electronically recording a disconnection sequence in which the port pairs are disconnected by removing each cable from at least one port of the respective port pair. Visual guidance is provided for re-cabling the computer system by sequentially identifying the port pairs in a reversal of the disconnection sequence, wherein identifying each port pair includes illuminating visual indicators associated with the ports of each port pair with a matching illumination pattern.

摘要: Data associated with a workload is stored in a first composite array of data storage devices that meets first data storage requirements of the workload, and is automatically stored in a second composite array in response to detecting second data storage requirements of the workload, wherein the second composite array of data storage devices meets the second data storage requirements. The data may be stored in the second composite array by either converting the first array or migrating the data to another array that more closely meets the current data storage requirements of the workload. Alternatively, the array conversion or the data migration may be performed in response to a predictive failure alert from one of the data storage devices in the first composite array.

摘要: Checkpoint snapshots of segments of system memory are taken while an operating system is booting in a computer system. The segments of system memory are stored in non-volatile memory as hibernation files. In response to detecting a request for a system reboot of the OS, an affected hibernation file, which corresponds to an affected segment of system memory that will change during the system reboot of the OS, is identified. A restoration of the system memory via a wake-up from hibernation is then initiated. The wake-up from hibernation proceeds until the affected hibernation file is reached, such that initial steps in the system reboot are bypassed. Thereafter, subsequent steps, which are after the bypassed initial steps in the system reboot, are executed.
