  • Bios parameter virtualization via BIOS configuration profiles
    Patent number: 9003001
    Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide approaches for generating a markup language object that describes a variety of BIOS setup variables and which allow the markup language object to be passed to the management system, as well as allow retrieval of a normalized BIOS from the management system. Doing so allows the management system to be used to easily and efficiently control a large number of server systems within a data center.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.

  • Rack server management
    Patent number: 8751675
    Abstract: Techniques presented herein provide approaches for managing rack servers. In one embodiment, a message is received from a management controller of a rack server and via a switch port, where the message requests a lease for a network address under a first protocol. Upon determining that the management controller is a supported device, the switch port is configured to allow network traffic under at least a second protocol.

  • Service Profile Based Peripheral Component Interconnect Device Enumeration And Option ROM Loading
    Publication number: 20130080754
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for a computer device to receive and store data comprising information configured to indicate boot device parameters for devices to be initialized during a given boot sequence. Those devices that match the device parameters are initialized prior to loading the computer device's operating system. Devices that do not match the boot parameters are masked out by the BIOS, and Option ROM firmware is loaded and executed for those devices that match the boot parameters.
