A dual host system and method with back to back non-transparent bridges and a proxy packet generating mechanism. The proxy packet generating mechanism enables the hosts to send interrupt generating packets to each other.

Method and apparatus to facilitate system to system protocol exchange in back to back non-transparent bridges

A BIOS having a set of effectors to initialize harware within the system. The BIOS having a set of macros, each macro of the set of macros having a reference to an effector of the set of effectors, each macro of the set of macros having a set of arguments.

Bios having macro/effector pairs for hardware initialization

In one embodiment, the invention is a method. The method includes receiving expected values of a configuration. The method also includes comparing the expected values with values of a configuration database. Furthermore, the method includes reporting results of the comparing.

Method and apparatus for implementing a register scan process

In one embodiment, the invention is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a first d-node having a pointer to a subordinate d-node and an identifier. The apparatus also includes a set of d-nodes, each d-node of the set of d-nodes having an identifier, a pointer to a peer d-node, a pointer to a subordinate d-node and a pointer to an entry. The set of d-nodes is accessible through the pointer of the first d-node. The apparatus also includes a set of entries, each entry of the set of entries having an identifier, a type, a value, and a pointer to an entry. The value of each entry embodies data corresponding to a configuration of a system.
