Abstract: A server includes a service processor hosted by a baseboard management controller (BMC) and independent of a CPU of the server. The server hosts web files. The service processor performs a set of monitoring tasks including receiving packets forming access requests made to the web files. A learning block is updated with information about suspicious packets. A counter is updated indicating a number of times a packet with a signature of a suspicious packet was received. When the counter reaches a threshold, a suspicious packet is analyzed in conjunction with other previously received suspicious packets. The analysis includes rearranging an arrival order of the suspicious packets into a new arrival sequence. The new arrival sequence of suspicious packets is matched to attack patterns in an attack pattern database. When the new arrival sequence matches an attack pattern, source IP addresses associated with the suspicious packets are added to a blacklist.

Abstract: A locking key secondary access system includes a key management system coupled to a secondary locking key access device and a server device via a network. The server device includes a managed device. The server device receives a request to unlock the managed device, and determines that a first access path via a first communication subsystem and through the network to the key management system is unavailable.

The secondary locking key access device may use the locking key information to retrieve a locking key for the managed device from the key management system. The secondary locking key access device sends the locking key to the server device via the second communication subsystem, and the server device uses the locking key to unlock the managed device.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for detecting and recovering from an inoperable device management bus. A remote management controller is configured to offload device management bus transactions that use a messaging protocol. The messing protocol transactions are offloaded to a bus protocol controller that is responsible for managing bus operations using the messaging protocol. The bus protocol controller updates a set of bus status counters stored in a shared memory based on the processing of the offloaded messaging protocol transactions. The remote management controller processes device management bus transactions that use a bus protocol and updates the bus status counters based on the status of the bus protocol transactions. The remote management controller determines the status of the device management bus based on the bus status counters in shared memory, if the device management bus is inoperable, resets the remote management controller.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for operating a device management bus coupled to a remote access controller and a managed device. The remote access controller detects an inoperable state of the bus and determines a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) memory is accessible on the managed device. A predefined reset indicator is written to the FRU memory. The managed device monitors for the reset indicator being written to a specified location in FRU memory. Upon detecting the reset indicator in FRU memory, the managed device resets a bus controller coupled to the device management bus and transmits a reset notification on the device management bus. The remote access controller may include an I2C shim that controls access to an I2C multiplexer utilized for transmitting I2C commands from a service processor and an I2C coprocessor, preventing certain inoperable bus states due to concurrent operation of the I2C multiplexer by the I2C coprocessor and the service processor.
