Abstract: Systems and methods provide a transient component limited access to data in a composition. One method includes receiving a request for the transient component to access data in the composition. The composition may include permanent components operable to utilize encryption keys generated at selected intervals from a seed value shared by the permanent components. The encryption keys utilized by the permanent components at each selected interval may be identical to one another. The method also includes generating a set of encryption keys from the seed value for a specified period of time. The set of encryption keys may be identical to the encryption keys to be utilized by the permanent components at the selected intervals to occur during the specified period of time. The method further includes granting the transient component access to data in the composition for the specified period of time via the set of encryption keys.

Abstract: A management processor includes a peripheral identifier to identify a peripheral device installed in a computing device. The management processor also includes a code retriever to receive management code from the peripheral device. The management processor also includes a code executor to execute the management code to provide, at the management processor, a management application programming interface (API) accessible by a remote client to manage the peripheral device, the remote client being external to the management processor.

Abstract: Techniques to inspect packets to determine a destination node are provided. In one aspect, a Wake on Lan (WOL) packet may be received at a switch. A destination node of the WOL packet may be determined. An indication of the determined destination node may be sent to a management controller. The management controller may cause the destination node to awaken.

Abstract: Various examples described herein provide for monitoring a peripheral device by data imported from the peripheral device. The peripheral data may comprise a script associated with monitoring or managing the peripheral device, or descriptive data describing a set of monitor values on the peripheral device.

Abstract: A slot-based component provides remote serial console and KVM capability to all slots in a sled by allocating dedicated memory space in a serial console component for serial console and KVM data. The dedicated memory space is in communication with a memory semantic fabric switch that is in communication all slots on the fabric. Other components on the fabric have corresponding allocated memory in communication with onboard CPU's. When remote access is conducted the CPU receives and pushes data to the allocated memory and the data is pulled through the fabric switch to the serial console component to be provided to a remote client session.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to serving an image to a group of target servers. An example implementation includes assigning a first target server of a group of target servers as a temporary deployment server. The first target server may be assigned as a temporary deployment server by a master deployment server over a management network. The master deployment server may serve the first target server an image package. The master deployment server may further serve a command over the management network to a second target server of the group of target servers. The second target server may be commanded to retrieve, over a data network, a deployment image of the image to be booted on the second target server.

Abstract: Various examples described herein provide for monitoring a peripheral device by data imported from the peripheral device. The peripheral data may comprise a script associated with monitoring or managing the peripheral device, or descriptive data describing a set of monitor values on the peripheral device.

Abstract: Various examples described herein provide for a management processor that reads a registration script from a peripheral device, and uses the script to act in proxy to register the peripheral device as a data provider on the management processor. Once a peripheral device is registered as a data provider on the management processor, the management processor can permit the peripheral device to host a management resource on the management processor. By accessing the hosted management resource through the management processor, a client can manage, monitor, or control the peripheral device.

Abstract: A computing device including an AUX (auxiliary) power controller connected to the expansion slot to supply aux power to the expansion slot intermittently based on instructions from a baseboard management controllers (BMC).

Abstract: In one aspect a chassis manager may receive connection classifications from a cartridge. The connection classifications may determine desired network connectivity of the cartridge. A network switch may receive the connection classifications from the chassis manager. The network switch may further configure network connectivity of the cartridge based on the connection classification.

Abstract: Techniques related to network switch flooding are described. in one aspect, a network switch may receive a plurality of node identifiers. The node identifiers may identify nodes reachable via a port of the switch. Flooding on the port may be disabled. Traffic destined for nodes reachable via the port may be sent on the port.
