Patent number: 10901470Abstract: A power distribution discovery system includes a power distribution unit (power distribution unit) that provides electrical power to a plurality of equipment modules configured in a computing rack. The power distribution unit includes a first communication circuit coupled to a computing system. The first communication circuit communicates with a second communication circuit configured in each of the subset of equipment modules to receive identifying information associated with each of the subset of equipment modules. The computing system communicates with the first communication circuit to receive the identifying information, and outputs a report indicating the subset of equipment modules that receive electrical power from the power distribution unit. The received identifying information indicates those equipment modules that receive electrical power from the power distribution unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Jon K.

Patent number: 10180844Abstract: The concepts described herein include a storage access system including two access paths using different path configurations resulting in the ability to do a two part boot from the same boot memory. The two storage access paths address the boot memory using a globally unique identifier. The first storage path is a slower path that transfers instructions from the boot memory to configure the second storage path used to transfer the operating system from the boot memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventor: Jon K.

Patent number: 9456522Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for self-determination of equipment rack consumption by rack-mounted appliances. Some embodiments operate in context of pre-integrated systems having a number of rack-mounted appliances installed in an equipment rack. The equipment rack can include a number of passive location designators, each positioned on the equipment rack in a physical location corresponding to a mounting location for a rack-mounted appliance, and each including a code that indicates its associated mounting location. Each rack-mounted appliance can include a sensor which, when the rack-mounted appliance is installed in a mounting location of the equipment rack, can read the code on the passive location designator associated with that mounting location. This reading can be used by the rack-mounted appliance to self-determine its rack consumption.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventor: Jon K.
