Embodiments of systems and methods to provide a firmware update to devices configured in a redundant configuration in an Information Handling System (IHS) are disclosed. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include computer-executable instructions to receive a password comprising a first plurality of characters, concatenate a second plurality of characters to the hashed password to form a patched password, encrypt the patched password, and send the hashed patched password to a server IHS for authentication. The second characters are configured to continually change value over time.

A system includes a first embedded controller to manage a management interface of a mobile device. A second embedded controller manages a display panel at the system. The first embedded controller receives a first event notification of an insertion of a sled in the system, and determines a pending storage mapping associated with the sled. The first embedded controller displays, at the management interface, information associated with the pending storage mapping associated with the sled. The second embedded controller generates a graphical user interface with information associated with the pending storage mapping associated with the sled. The graphical user interface is updated in response to user input.

A server receives an event notification indicating an opening of a drive drawer, and retrieves a timing parameter associated with a timer that counts a time from the receiving of the event notification by the server indicating the opening of the drive drawer. The server may generate a visual alert that alerts of the opening of the drive drawer, and display a current value indicating the time since the receiving of the event notification.

A resource management system that includes at least one managed computing system including a plurality of hierarchal computer resources and a server computing system that is coupled to the at least one managed computing system through a network. The server computing system includes a broker in communication with a plurality of providers. The broker is configured to receive a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) request for a first resource of the plurality of hierarchal computer resources included in the at least one managed computing system. The URI request includes a resource path that identifies the first resource by a hierarchy of a plurality of collections. The broker is configured to determine a last collection in the hierarchy of the plurality of collections that matches a first provider of the plurality of providers, and forward the request directly to the first provider such that the first provider processes the URI request.

Resource management system

A RESTful API suitable for distributed management tasks implements an aggregator that receives a client request including a URI corresponding to a requested service. The aggregator generates and forwards a proxy request, requesting the same requested service from multiple aggregated resources associated with the aggregator. The aggregator includes, in each proxy request, prefix information that may be used by the aggregated resource to create encoded information that is included in a proxy request response. The aggregator receives the proxy request responses, including the encoded information, and forwards them to the client. The client may then generate a subsequent request for additional information about a resource or service on any one of the aggregated resources. The subsequent request conveys the encoded information to the aggregator, which may then decode the information to identify the appropriate aggregated resource for the request.

Encoded URI references in restful requests to facilitate proxy aggregation

A method may include, receiving, by a controller integral to a chassis, a user request to apply a switch configuration. The method may also include communicating from the controller to a remote access controller (RAC) integral to at least one module disposed in a plurality of slots of the chassis an indication that a user has requested application of a switch configuration. The method may further include receiving at the controller, in response to the indication, a request to download a switch configuration file from the controller to the RAC. The method may additionally include transferring from the controller, in response to the request to download the switch configuration file, the switch configuration file to the RAC such that the RAC applies parameters set forth in the switch configuration file in order to configure an in-band switch associated with the module comprising the RAC.

An information handling system having a single pipe string driven data transport architecture includes a hardware independent execution environment subsystem and a native operating system environment subsystem. A data transport pipe is provided for integrating legacy instrumentation agents of the native operating system environment subsystem and new instrumentation agents of the hardware independent execution environment subsystem into a single integrated systems management application.
