  • Power over ethernet powered management and diagnoses of information handling systems
    Patent number: 8725905
    Abstract: A power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant device may be able to keep alive just enough of a management controller and/or target to respond to requests and tell a host (initiator) why it may be unable to respond to a data transfer request in a desired fashion due to a power failure. Thus only a small portion of an information handling system management capabilities need stay alive for reporting the operational condition of the overall information handling system during a power outage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2014
    Assignee: Dell Products L.P.

  • Unique response for puncture drive media error
    Patent number: 7549112
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying physical blocks marked as logically “bad” or “punctured” during a drive rebuild process enabling the information handling system to process these blocks more intelligently and preventing existing drive physical media errors from needlessly being copied and propagated to new drives. Various implementations of the invention allow physical blocks on a target drive to be marked as “punctured” so they can be diagnosed to verify that they have not been erroneously marked as being “bad,” thereby reducing the number of misdiagnosed drive failures.
