Patent number: 11874726Abstract: A first information handling system may receive a telemetry metric report from a client information handling system. The first information handling system may determine that one or more characteristics of the telemetry metric report do not match one or more predetermined telemetry metric report characteristics. The first information handling system may perform one or more corrective actions based, at least in part, on the determination that the one or more characteristics of the telemetry metric report do not match one or more predetermined telemetry metric report characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Vijayasimha Reddy Naga, Michael Emery Brown

Patent number: 11836127Abstract: Embodiments provide unique identification of telemetry reports generated by components of an IHS (Information Handling System) that supports a plurality of metric data sources. A source of metric data is detected, where the source may be a fixed or replaceable IHS component. The metric source is identified within a device descriptor table maintained by a remote access controller of the IHS. Based on a unique user-friendly label that is associated with the metric data source in the device descriptor table, the metric source is configured to generate metric reports. The generated metric reports are received and the label provided by the metric source is used to store data from the metric reports in a database row using the label as a unique database key. The user-friendly label can be used to perform efficient database queries without using a separate database column for storing a user-friendly description of the metric source.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Jon Robert Hass, Michael Emery Brown, Choudary Maddukuri, Sankara Rao Gara, Mahesh Babu Ramaiah, Sankunny Jayaprasad

Patent number: 11659695Abstract: Telemetry system metric data that is collected within a data center may be collectively analyzed in order to identify zones within the data center that exhibit deviations in reported metric data. The analyzed metric data is collected from IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as servers, operating in the data center. The metric data reported by the respective IHSs identifies the location the IHS within the data center. The collected metric data is analyzed to identify metrics that are correlated with locations within the data center. Within the identified metric data that is correlated with data center locations, a zone of the data center is identified that includes a subset of IHSs that have reported anomalous metric data relative to the metric data reported by neighboring IHSs. For instance, such a zone may be an aisle of the data center, one or more racks, and/or rows of servers spanning multiple racks.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Sankunny Jayaprasad, Jon Robert Hass, Sankara Rao Gara, Sailaja Mahendrakar

Patent number: 11640377Abstract: Systems and methods utilize telemetry data to provide administrators with metric information related to a detected IHS (Information Handling System) event, such as an error condition, where the provided metric information is particularized to the context of the event. A remote access controller (RAC) of the IHS stores metric reports received from metric sources. The RAC receives an indication of the event that specifies a first IHS component as a source of the event and specifies a time associated with the event. The RAC identifies stored metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and identifies stored metric reports generated by components that are logically and/o physically related to the first component. The RAC generates an event report that includes the metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and the metric reports generated by components related to the first component.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Choudary Maddukuri, Sankara Rao Gara, Sankunny Jayaprasad, Sailaja Mahendrakar

Patent number: 10936324Abstract: A host device access monitoring and reporting system includes a management system coupled to server devices through a network. Each server device includes a BIOS that generates and transmits pre-boot access event reports for pre-boot access events occurring prior to the completion of a boot process for that server device, and an operating system that generates and transmits post-boot access event reports for post-boot access events occurring subsequent to the completion of the boot process for that server device. A remote access controller in each server device receives pre-boot access event reports from the BIOS in that server device and, in response, publishes pre-boot access event notifications to the management system. The remote access controller in each server device also receives the post-boot access event reports from the operating system in that server device and, in response, publishes post-boot access event notifications to the management system.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Rakesh Kumar Ayolasomyajula, Cyril Jose, Choudary Maddukuri

Patent number: 10798074Abstract: Methods and systems for account authentication in a distributed computing node group may involve sending a message to a member, the message having a first timestamp, increasing an authentication failure count, receiving a first key-exchange message from the member, the first key-exchange message having a second timestamp, evaluating the second timestamp, and determining whether to ignore the first key-exchange message based on an evaluation of the second timestamp. The first timestamp may be associated with a message received from the member prior to sending the message with the first timestamp to the member. The first key-exchange message may include a value computed by the member based on a group passcode shared with the member. The evaluation of the second timestamp may be based on at least one of a default value, the authentication failure count, or a timestamp associated with the group passcode.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Yee Ja, Marshal F.
