Abstract: In one implementation, a computing device includes a secure storage to store a plurality of security elements, a processor, and a storage medium including instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor to: receive a configuration request for a first server, the configuration request including one or more logical references to security settings of the first server; retrieve, from the secure storage, one or more security elements corresponding to the one or more logical references in the configuration request; and configure an operating system volume for the first server based on the configuration request and the one or more security elements.

Abstract: In one example, a non-transitory computer readable medium for hardware management includes instructions to generate an instruction volume by copying a master volume, wherein the instruction volume is a computing device image, execute a set of scripts to alter the instruction volume based on a profile for a computing device, and deploy the instruction volume to the computing device to configure the computing device based on the profile for the computing device.

Abstract: A method of validating content out-of-band for a computing device having a processor capable of executing software with a management controller separate from the processor of the computing device. The method includes identifying a content to be deployed. The content resides on a storage medium. The method further includes measuring the content and establishing a content baseline for the content based on the measuring. Also, the method includes copying a deployed content to a storage product to produce a copied deployed content. The copied deployed content is compared with the content baseline out-of-band while the deployed content is deployed. A difference is identified between the copied deployed content and the content baseline.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to enabling the creation and/or modification of artifacts on an operating system (OS) volume. A manager may be provided in communication with an appliance hosting an OS volume. The OS volume may be mounted on the manager to provide permissions to access the OS volume from the manager. Artifacts to be implemented on the mounted OS volume may be created and/or modified.

Abstract: A system and method provides software logic analysis of computer system problems. The system and method incorporates event triggering, event limiting and cross-triggering in a software event logging process. A cross-trigger port is provided to facilitate connection between the present system and an external analyzer, such as a hardware logic analyzer or an oscilloscope. An end-user controls the event logging process via a user interface that permits the end-user to write trigger and limit conditions. One embodiment of the present system and method involves the small computer system interface (SCSI) sub-system.

Abstract: A method of validating a label translation configuration file (TC) is disclosed. Once the validity of a TC is verified, a set of test case characters (Test Set) is automatically generated if requested by the user.
