  • Patent number: 10771543
    Abstract: A first server includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that a server is present that has not had settings other than at most default settings applied to a basic input output system (BIOS) executable by the server to boot the server. The instructions are also executable by the processor to, based at least in part on a determination that the server is the same model of server as the apparatus, has the same BIOS version as the apparatus, and/or has the same baseboard management controller (BMC) version as the apparatus, facilitate over a peer to peer server network at least some settings in the apparatus to be provisioned to the server to establish the at least some settings in the server.

  • Patent number: 9921783
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system, including: one or more processors; a network interface for communication with a remote bank of available storage; a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) operatively coupled to the one or more processors; and a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to: ascertain at least one unavailable hard disk drive (HDD) of the RAID; determine an available remote storage target; dynamically update a storage destination for data to be stored from the at least one unavailable HDD of the RAID to the available remote storage target; and send the data over the network interface to the available remote storage target. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
