Patent number: 8924597Abstract: Various embodiments of a method [800] of distributing configuration information within a predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition are described. In one embodiment, a configuration rule at a database for a predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition is accessed, wherein conjoined blades within the blade partition are coupled with management processors [805]. A portion of the configuration rule is compared with a hardware configuration of the blade partition [810]. The portion of the configuration information is an identification of the conjoined blades [810].

Publication number: 20110093572Abstract: Various embodiments of a method of configuring a predefined set of electrically isolated blades to function as a single blade are described. In one embodiment, a configuration rule is accessed, wherein a portion of the configuration rule assigns roles to management processors coupled with the predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition. Assistant management processors are directed to configure blade manageability modules to support the assigned roles. The blade manageability modules are coupled with the management processors. In one embodiment, the assistant management processors are directed to configure resources to be shared across the blade partition according to the configuration rule. After determining that the conjoined blades are configured according to the configuration rule, the conjoined blades are initialized. Thus, the conjoined blades are coordinated to function as a single blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2008Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: Loren M. Koehler, Kenneth C.

Patent number: 7707443Abstract: One embodiment disclosed relates to a system for power management of a group of computers. The system includes server side infrastructure (SSI) circuitry at each computer in the group and a centralized power management module (CPMM). The SSI circuitry includes local monitoring circuitry coupled to a central processing unit (CPU) of the computer. The CPMM has a management link to the SSI circuitry at each computer in the group. The local circuitry at each computer monitors power consumption at the CPU of that computer and transmits power consumption data to the CPMM. The CPMM applies a set of rules to the power consumption data to determine when and at which computers to enable and disable a CPU power throttling mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Sachin Navin Chheda, Loren M.
