Abstract: Example implementations relate to a server including a platform controller hub (PCH), where the PCH includes a peripheral device manager, a management processor coupled to the peripheral device manager, and a peripheral device interface to couple with a peripheral device and provide out of band access of the peripheral device via the management processor and peripheral device manager to a memory of the server.

Abstract: Logging into a remote computer by way of a management processor to initiate a remote console session and switching between a default remote console session and a non-default remote console session.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for establishing trust between a management processor and a management server. Establishing trust between a management processor and a management server can include establishing trust between a scanning device and the management server by scanning a server code on a management server using a scanning device. Establishing trust between a management processor and a management server can include establishing trust between the scanning device and the management processor by scanning a processor code on a management processor using the scanning device. Establishing trust between a management processor and a management server can include creating a secure channel between the management server and the management processor through the scanning device.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, and media associated with acquiring a graphics mode post-failure screen provided by a graphical operating system running on a self-reset capable computer are described. One exemplary method embodiment may be performable in a management processor (e.g., ASIC, FPGA) that is configured to be operably connected to a computer (e.g., server) that is configured to provide a graphical post-failure screen and to self-reset upon entering a failure state. The exemplary method embodiment may include receiving a stream of video data from the computer and making it available to a downstream component like a remote console application. The exemplary method may also include performing a screen refresh after detecting the failure state in the computer. The exemplary method may also include selectively storing the graphical post-failure screen in a memory associated with the management processor.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for providing network attached storage (NAS) devices 232 to management sub-systems 214. Methods for providing a NAS device 232 to a management sub-system 214 can include implementing a network file system (NFS) 220 within the management sub-system 214, 102. Providing a NAS device 232 to a management sub-system 214 also can include communicatively coupling the NFS 220 and the NAS device 232, 104. Furthermore, providing a NAS device 232 to a management sub-system 214 can include providing the management sub-system 214 access to the NAS device 232 via the implemented NFS 220, 106.

Abstract: Example management processors, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed. A disclosed example management processor includes a network card interface to communicatively couple the management processor to an operating environment, and a request processor to forward a received external management request to the operating environment via the network card interface, and to combine response information received from the operating environment with response information generated at the management processor.

Abstract: A system for controlling a cursor is provided. The system includes a monitored system that generates user interface data and mouse position data, such as would be provided in a monitor window. A remote monitoring system receives the user interface data and mouse control data, such as for controlling the location of a cursor in a local window and a monitor window. A mouse synchronization system receives the user interface data and the mouse control data and generates mouse calibration data based on the user interface data and the mouse control data, such as by determining the actual movement of the mouse using video data and determining a correction factor related to the estimated location of the mouse, based on mouse control data.
