In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes an initialization component of a host. The initialization component requests from a service processor of the host a first replacement firmware image of a first device of the host. The initialization component then receives the first replacement firmware image from the service processor. The initialization component further provides the first replacement firmware image to a first updating program. The initialization component uses the first updating program to replace the first existing firmware image on the first device with the first replacement firmware image.

Techniques of updating host device firmware via service processor

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device receives at least one IPMI message from a client device. The embedded-system device extracts message data from the at least one IPMI message. The embedded-system device determines, from the message data, a function call including at least one operation code and for processing a data collection. The embedded-system device processes the data collection based on the at least one operation code. The disclosure describes a common implementation of data transfer and usage that can serve different clients as well as future features with zero or minimum redesign or redevelopment.

Unified data transfer via IPMI

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a management device. The management device initiates a first booting process of a program from a first image stored at a primary storage device of the management device. The management device re-initiates the first booting process from the first image when the first booting process is not successful and a number of re-initiation is less than a predetermined number. The management device locates a second image of the program from a secondary storage device when the first booting process is not successful and the number of re-initiation is greater than or equal to the predetermined number. The management device initiates a second booting process of the program from the second image subsequent to the locating the second image.
