Abstract: A method may include responsive to a power event associated with an information handling system, intercepting the power event and holding a platform controller hub of the information handling system from completing the power event to prevent execution of code of a basic input/output system of the information handling system, attempting to verify image integrity of the basic input/output system, and allowing the platform controller hub to complete the power event to allow execution of the code of the basic input/output system responsive to successful verification of the image integrity of the basic input/output system.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a device, a processor, and a runtime agent. the device provides a System Management Interrupt (SMI) in response to an error on the device. The processor receives the SMI, enters a System Management Mode (SMM), and executes first interrupt handler code in SMM to provide interrupt information associated with the SMI when the SMI is associated with a non-critical error on the device, and exit SMM to a runtime mode. The runtime agent receives the interrupt information during the runtime mode to execute second interrupt handler code to service the non-critical error on the device.

Abstract: A system and method and method for filtering communications at a network interface controller is provided. The network interface controller is coupled to a baseboard management controller through a sideband communications channel. The network interface controller filters packets to the baseboard management controller on the basis of the address within the packet that identifies the device that caused the packet to be generated. The network interface controller transmits to the baseboard management controller only those packets that were generated in response to a command issued by the baseboard management controller.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed in which the buses of a server computer are monitored through server management software. A data structure for a monitored bus or group of buses is created and stored in a repository of data structures for other monitored devices within the server computer. As events, such as failure events, occur on one or more of the monitored buses, the event is recorded in an event log. Using the server management software, monitoring commands can be issued by the baseboard management controller to each monitored bus to check the status of the bus.
