Systems and methods provide witness sled hardware that may be installed in a chassis and that is configurable using management resources of a chassis in which the witness sled is installed. The chassis may include data storage devices and Information Handling Systems (IHSs), each including one or more CPUs (Central Processing Units) that execute instructions that cause a respective IHS to store data redundantly to the plurality of data storage devices, such as part of a vSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network). The witness sled is configured to provide witness functions, such as arbitrating discrepancies in the redundantly stored data. The chassis includes a management controller that is configured to interface with the witness sled to set up high-speed network connections supported by the witness sled in order to configure the witness sled for providing witness functions within the vSAN, while accounting for the limited resources of the compute sled.

Systems and methods for configuration of witness sleds

Systems and methods provide witness sled hardware installed in a chassis and supported during network failures using management resources of the chassis. A chassis may include data storage devices and Information Handling Systems (IHSs), each configured to store data redundantly to the data storage devices, such as part of a vSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network). The witness sled is configured to provide witness functions, such as to arbitrate discrepancies in the redundantly stored data. The chassis also includes a chassis management controller (CMC) configured to initiate a connection with the witness sled via a management signaling pathway in response to a notification indicating a network fault in a high-speed connection used by the IHSs in communicating with the witness sled. The CMC receives witness transactions from theses IHSs and utilizes the connection initiated via the management signaling pathway to submit the transactions for processing by the witness sled.

Systems and methods for fault-tolerant witness sleds

Technology described herein can globally perform management of security tokens of plural nodes of a multi-node system. In an embodiment, a system can comprise an interconnected group of server nodes, and an administrator node communicatively connected to the interconnected group of server nodes and comprising a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise selecting a server node of the interconnected group of server nodes as a leader server node, resulting in a selection of the leader server node, in response, receiving, by the administrator node from the leader server node, a request for a new security token, and sending, to the leader server node, the new security token, and broadcasting, by the leader server node across a link layer discovery (LLDP) network, the new security token to additional nodes of the interconnected group of nodes.

Server node-controlled advertisement

An information handling system includes a network interface device configured to provide indications of faults on the network interface device, a baseboard management controller agent configured to receive the indications, and a baseboard management controller coupled to a management system. The management system mitigates the faults on the network interface device. The network interface device further detects a fault on the network interface device and provides an indication to the baseboard management controller agent in response to detecting the fault. The baseboard management controller agent further receives the indication from the network interface device, receives an identification of the management system from the baseboard management controller, and provides a second indication to the management system based upon the identification.

Rapid appraisal of NIC status for high-availability servers

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for dynamic digital information retrieval are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes training a machine learning object detection model using server component images and one or more features of the server component images; determining a type of server device captured by at least one camera-derived input, wherein determining the type of server device comprises analyzing the at least one camera-derived input using the machine learning object detection model; identifying one or more server components captured by the at least one camera-derived input by analyzing, within a context of the determined type of server device, the at least one camera-derived input using the machine learning object detection model; and outputting, to at least one display, information pertaining to the identified server components, wherein the information is retrieved from a data source related to the determined type of server device.
