Systems and methods for bypassing firewalls using a server management protocol is provided. In various embodiments, a proxy component serves as a 'man-in-the-middle' between an edge client and a server client. The proxy component can receive a server connection request from the edge client to connect to a requested server client using a managed network name associated with the server client. The proxy component can establish a proxy connection with the requested server client, and routing data packets between the server client and the edge client. The edge client and the server client are connected without the public advertisement of the private addresses of the edge client and the server client.

Methods and systems for network address translation (NAT) traversal using a meet-in-the-middle proxy

Emulating devices across selected communication pathways by way of a terminal session. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including establishing a terminal session between a first computer system and a second computer system (the second computer system distinct from the first computer system, and the second computer system having a management processor with a plurality of communication pathways to a main processor of the second computer system), configuring the management processor to send data regarding emulation of a first mass storage device across a first selected pathway of the plurality of communication pathways to the main processor (the configuring by way of the terminal session), and emulating (by the management processor) the first mass storage device across the first selected pathway.

Method and system of emulating devices across selected communication pathways through a terminal session

Systems, methods and computing components are provided for dynamically reallocating a plurality of computing components among one or more logical partitions. A first computing component that is allocated to a first partition may have a management processor. A second computing component may be allocated to a second partition. The management processor of the first computing component may be configured to reallocate the first computing component to a third partition without affecting the second computing component.

Dynamically reallocating computing components between partitions

Systems, methods and computing components are provided for allocating a plurality of computing components among one or more logical partitions. Each of the plurality of computing components may have a management processor that is configured to assume a role among management processors of a partition. Each management processor may then cooperate with other management processors of the partition to control resources of the partition.

Management processors cooperating to control partition resources

A computer system comprising a memory including a host and an image file, a processor configured to execute the host, an input/output (I/O) controller coupled to the processor, and a management processing system coupled to the I/O controller and including a first storage location, a first memory, and a second memory is provided. The host is configured to cause the processor to store a first portion of the image file in the first memory, the host is configured to cause the processor to set the first storage location subsequent to storing the first portion in the first memory, and the management processing system is configured to store the first portion of the image file in the second memory in response to detecting that the first storage location has been set.

System and method for providing an image file in a computer system

A computer system comprising a memory that includes a host and an image file, a processor configured to execute the host, an input/output (I/O) controller coupled to the processor, and a management processing system coupled to the I/O controller and including a non-volatile memory is provided. The host is configured to cause the processor to provide the image file to the management processing system, and the management processing system is configured to store the image file in the non-volatile memory in response to receiving the image file from the host.
