Abstract: A Logically Composed System (LCS) Smart Data Accelerator Interface (SDXI) data plane configuration system includes a resource management system coupled to an orchestrator device that is coupled to a plurality of resource devices. The resource management system discovers a first SDXI node in the plurality of resource devices, with the first SDXI node configured to process SDXI information and including a first memory subsystem that is configured to provide an SDXI memory space. The resource management system also identifies first memory system capabilit(ies) of the first memory subsystem included in the first SDXI node and, when the resource management system subsequently receives an LCS request, it composes an LCS that includes an SDXI data plane provided by the first SDXI node based on capabilities requirement(s) identified in the LCS request being satisfied by the first memory subsystem capabilit(ies) of the first memory subsystem included in the first SDXI node.

Abstract: An LCS SDXI resource ownership system includes a resource system having an orchestrator device coupled to resource devices and a resource management system. An SDXI controller subsystem is provided by the resource management system and/or the orchestrator device, and operates to use the first resource system to provide an LCS with an SDXI data plane provided by an SDXI node included in the resource devices, and create an SDXI configuration space for the LCS. The SDXI controller subsystem then receives a unique LCS identifier from the LCS via the SDXI configuration space, and links the SDXI node to the LCS in an SDXI resource database using the unique LCS identifier. The SDXI controller subsystem then migrates the LCS to a second resource system, and the LCS performs operations using the SDXI node following migration to the second resource system based on the linking of the LCS to the SDXI node.

The resource device management subsystem determines a first plurality of resource devices that are available via the SCP device for the LCS, and presents an available-resource file hierarchy to the workload that identifies the first plurality of resource devices. When the resource device management subsystem receives a resource device request from the workload for a first resource device that is included in the first plurality of resource devices identified in the available-resource file hierarchy, it provides a resource device provisioning request to the SCP device that is configured to cause the SCP device to provide the first resource device to the LCS for utilization by the workload.

Abstract: An untrusted orchestrator function subsystem inventory and verification system includes an untrusted orchestrator device, an operating system, a BIOS, and a management device. In response to presentation by the untrusted orchestrator device of a function subsystem to the operating system during runtime, the operating system generates a function subsystem detection alert that identifies the function subsystem. In response to the function subsystem detection alert, the BIOS generates and transmits a BIOS inventory update. The management device receives the BIOS inventory update, and determines whether the operating system is authorized to use the function subsystem at least in part based on the BIOS inventory update. If so, the management device allows the operating system to utilize the function subsystem while, if not, the management device prevents the operating system from utilizing the function subsystem.

The fabric manager system receives respective local data mover selection information from the computing devices that identifies data mover device(s) accessible to those computing device, and generates global data mover selection information that includes each data mover device accessible to the computing devices. When the fabric manager system receives a first data transfer request to transfer data between first and second memory locations in the memory system, it uses the global data mover selection information to identify a data mover device having the highest priority for performing data transfers between the first and second memory locations in the memory system, and transmits a first data transfer instruction to that data mover device to cause that data mover device to perform the first data transfer operation.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a management controller configured to direct a basic input/output system to generate an advanced configuration power interface (ACPI) event that is triggered by an update of a host interface attribute. A processor provides at least one function to publish and configure a host interface, where the host interface is associated with a management service. The processor may also detect the ACPI event triggered by the update of the host interface attribute. Subsequent to the detection of the ACPI event, a structure of the host interface associated with the management service and a supported authentication type and security information associated with the supported authentication type may be determined. The processor may authenticate to the host interface via the supported authentication type using the security information and update an operating system variable associated with the update of the host interface attribute.
