Abstract: Technology described herein is generally directed towards an efficient process to selectively boot (e.g., initialize, re-boot, re-initialize and/or the like) one or more nodes of a server node system based on contextual information that can be automatically acquired. In an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, can facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise monitoring operational activity of a node of a software-defined object storage system. The operations can comprise, in response to occurrence of a negative activity event determined based on a result of the monitoring, determining whether a node reboot of the node is to be implemented. The operations can comprise, based on the operational activity analyzed, setting a reboot flag indicating that the node reboot is to comprise a reboot of less than all components of the node.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques can include, by a baseboard management controller (BMC), responsive to a virtual console of a server being launched on a client device via the BMC, collecting one or more environment parameters of the client device and collecting one or more environmental parameters of the server. The method can also include, by the BMC, determining an appropriate display configuration for the server based on an analysis of the one or more environment parameters of the client device and the one or more environmental parameters of the server and configuring a display configuration of the server in accordance with the determined appropriate display configuration.
