Examples disclosed herein relate, in one aspect, to a computing device. The computing device may include, among other things, a first communications module to send communication data, a communications monitor to capture a portion of the communication data sent from the first communication module, and a management processor to determine, based on the captured portion, a network address associated with the computing device.

Network address of a computing device

A method and a system for reserving a device for a system are provided herein. The method includes accessing a reserved device, where a basic input/output system (BIOS) uses the reserved device. The method includes initializing a register, via the BIOS firmware, to disable a port that connects to the reserved device. The method includes disabling the port that connects to the reserved device. The disabling may occur before the BIOS firmware transfers control of the system to an operating system. The disabling may hide the reserved device from the operating system and reserve the reserved device for the BIOS firmware without interference from the operating system.

Hardware for system firmware use

Examples disclosed herein relate to using a programmable logic device to perform a recovery operation on non-volatile storage devices. In response to receiving an indication to perform recovery, multiple storage devices are set to a predetermined value by the PLD. Recovery of the storage devices is to begin based on the predetermined value setting.

Recovery using programmable logic device

According to an example, memory-driven OOB management may include OOB management of a computing node of a plurality of computing nodes. The OOB management may be executed independent of an OS of the computing node. A memory fabric may be used to provide for shared access to a plurality of NVM nodes by the plurality of computing nodes.

Memory-driven out-of-band management

Examples disclosed herein relate, in one aspect, to a computing device. The computing device may include a timing engine and a location engine. The timing engine may obtain reset information associated with a plurality of computing devices located at a plurality of locations, wherein each computing device comprises a timer. The timing engine may also obtain timer values of the timers of the plurality of computing devices. The location engine may determine, based at least on the reset information and the timer values, the location of at least one of the plurality of computing devices.
