An information handling system provides configuration, monitoring, and inventory services between an application programming interface service hosted by the information handling system and a remote client. The system communicates using application program interfaces exposed by the application programming interface service with a device associated with the information handling system, and packages data received from the device via the application programming interface service before transmitting the data to the remote client.

Out-of-band support for software redundant array of independent disks

Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage operation of the data processing systems, the data processing systems may present unified interfaces to management systems. The unified interfaces may be used to manage the operation of any number of end point presenting devices hosted by the data processing systems. The unified interface may allow for the end point presenting devices without requiring that the management systems directly interact with the end point presenting devices.

System and method for managing end point presenting devices

Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage operation of the data processing systems, the data processing systems may present unified communication and management systems. The unified communication and management systems may be used to manage the operation of any number of management controller embedded devices hosted by the data processing systems. The unified communication and management systems may be implemented using access to the management controller embedded devices.

System and method for managing security and access for management controller embedded devices

Centralized management of a Data Processing Unit (DPU) Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) through an integrated server remote access controller (iRAC) may include embedding a secure token in a communication from the iRAC to a BMC of a DPU, the secure token authorizing the iRAC to the DPU BMC and authorizing the DPU BMC to the iRAC. The secure token may include a first layer token authorizing the iRAC to the DPU and authorizing the DPU to the iRAC and a second layer token authorizing the DPU to the DPU BMC and authorizing the BMC to the DPU. Alternatively, the secure token may be generated by the iRAC generating an initial token authorizing the iRAC to the DPU and authorizing the DPU to the iRAC, the iRAC embedding the initial token in a request to the DPU for a resource of the DPU BMC and the DPU generating the secure token.

Centralized management of addon baseboard management controllers (BMCs) through an integrated server remote access controller using secure tokens

Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage operation of the data processing systems, the data processing systems may present unified communication and management systems. The unified communication and management systems may be used to manage the operation of any number of management controller embedded devices hosted by the data processing systems. The unified communication and management systems may allow for communication with and management of the management controller embedded devices without requiring that the management systems directly interact with the management controller embedded devices.

System and method for managing management controller embedded devices

An information handling system may include a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive network traffic from a client information handling system, the network traffic relating to management of the information handling system; and transmit at least a portion of the network traffic to a traffic classifier. The traffic classifier may be configured to: determine a protocol associated with the network traffic; compare the network traffic with protocol-specific classification data based on the determined protocol; and determine, based on the comparison, a likelihood that the network traffic is malicious. Based on the determined likelihood exceeding a threshold, the management controller may be configured to execute a remedial action with respect to the network traffic.

Intelligent detection and prevention of anomalies in interface protocols

An information handling system may include a processor, one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor, including at least one of the one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via a storage interface, and a basic input/output system (BIOS) comprising a program of instructions executable by the processor and configured to cause the processor to initialize one or more information handling resources of the information handling system. The BIOS may be further configured to, in response to a request to perform a firmware update to the one or more storage resources, scan for storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, register unique identifiers associated with the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, and perform a firmware update of the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface based on the unique identifiers.

Systems and methods for update of storage resource firmware

A system includes a management system, a managed system that is coupled to the management system through a network. The managed system comprises a managed device, a key identifier storage, a first managed device locking system coupled to the managed device and the key identifier storage, and a second managed device locking system coupled to the managed device, the key identifier storage, and the first managed device locking system. The first managed device locking system is configured to store a key identifier of the managed device in the key identifier storage and to provide access to a locking key of the managed device based upon the key identifier of the managed device, stored in a management system. The second managed device locking system is configured to monitor the managed device for an event that triggers unlocking the managed device, monitor operating status of the first managed device locking system. In some embodiments, where the first managed device locking system is unavailable, the second managed device locking system is configured to provide access to the locking key of the managed device based upon the key identifier of the managed device, stored in the management system.

Key management and recovery

An information handling system includes a processor, a managed device that provides a function to the processor, wherein the function is managed in accordance with a Managed Object Format (MOF) file, and a management controller that receives the MOF file, converts the MOF file to a Management Information Base (MIB), and manages the function based upon the MIB.
