A method for controlling a boot sequence of a server includes the following steps. A boot image is created, and a first proxy server program is placed into the boot image. The first proxy server program communicates with a management server. The boot image is restored on a rewritable removable storage device, so as to enable the rewritable removable storage device to boot a managed target server. A second proxy server program is installed and executed in the management server. A basic input/output system (BIOS) of the target server is set to enable the rewritable removable storage device to act as a first boot device. Boot files in the rewritable removable storage device are modified through the first proxy server program or the second proxy server program according to a boot instruction received from the management server, thereby controlling a boot sequence of the target server.

An electric quantity detection software runs on the electronic device, for detecting an electric quantity of the electronic device and generating audio signals indicating a message of performing a charging operation or a message of stopping the charging operation. An audio output interface is disposed on the electronic device for outputting the audio signals. A decoding device is connected to the audio output interface for receiving the audio signal and controlling the external charging power supply to perform the charging operation or to stop the charging operation on the electronic device. The charging system and method for the electronic device can effectively control the electric quantity of the electronic device, without requiring any charging control circuits.

The storage service device includes a first control module, a second control module, a battery unit, a basic input/output system (BIOS), and a backup procedure. Once a power failure occurs to the server, the following backup procedure is performed a hardware interrupt signal is sent to the battery unit, so as to provide an operation power to a first memory module and a second memory module; an index page of the first memory module is synchronized with that of the second memory module; and the updated index pages are recorded into a first flash memory and a second flash memory respectively.

A method of allocating a physical memory in a specified address range under a Linux system platform is applied in a testing process of a physical memory under a Linux operating system. In this method, according to a specified address range and a size of a memory to be allocated, a large amount of physical memories in the system are allocated in a specified address range, and then the information about the allocated memories is transmitted, so as to map, inspect, and release the memories, thereby effectively supporting the test for physical memories under the Linux operating system.

A data manipulation method of a logical volume manager is applicable to data management of dependent snapshot volumes (SVs) of a logical volume manager. The data management method includes the following steps generating a plurality of SVs, defining the SV generated at first as a first SV, defining the SV generated at last as a last SV, and defining the rest SVs as middle SVs; selecting a middle SV; combining content stored in the selected middle SV into a neighboring SV; according to the combined SV, combining meta-data of the selected middle SV into meta-data of the middle SV; deleting the selected middle SV. The logical volume manager does not need copy the data again, thereby saving access time in data management.

A method of dynamically adjusting the number of task requests is provided, which is applicable to an Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol. When a target receives a task request transmitted by an initiator or the target completes the task request, the number of transmissible tasks is calculated according to an average access data volume, an current access data volume, and an allowable access data volume in the target, and returned to the initiator, such that the number of the task requests transmitted simultaneously by the initiator does not exceed the number of transmissible tasks, thereby achieving flow control. The allowable access data volume is obtained through interactive and dynamic adjustment between the target and the initiator.

A network card testing method, used to test if the network card is capable of functioning normally in a computer having Extended Firmware Interface (EFI) system. Wherein, in a protocol assignment table is recorded the connection relations of a network protocol of Extended Firmware Interface, and a driver program corresponding to a network driver interface specification (NDIS) layer. In addition, the driver corresponding to the network card is loaded at the NDIS layer. In implementing the network card test program, though the utilization of an additionally written EFI pseudo program as a medium of transmitting data for the network card testing program, and also though the utilization of an additionally written intermediate filter driver in invoking a driver suitable for the network card, the hardware testing of network card can be realized, thus increasing the category and scope of the network card testing supported by an EFI system.

A method of updating intrusion detection rules through a link data packet is used to dynamically update rules storages of Snort system hosts. Firstly, an update sponsor in the network transmits a link data packet with an intrusion detection rule to the Snort system host. The Snort system host acquires the intrusion detection rule from the received link data packet, and parses an operation type of the intrusion detection rule. Then, the Snort system host verifies the validity of the intrusion detection rule. Subsequently, the rules storage is updated according to the type of the valid intrusion detection rule and a rules tree.

A system architecture for implementing a virtual disk service (VDS) equipment is applicable for implementing an overall management on multiple service request objects in a VDS system. The system architecture includes a VDS interface, a subsystem management module, an object management module, a virtual disk management module, and a specific management module. The VDS interface receives a service request, and renders the service request to the subsystem management module for judging a type of the service request. The virtual disk management module generates a plurality of virtual interfaces for being invoked by the subsystem management module, so as to execute the service request of a public operation type. When the service request requires for supporting an asynchronous processing, the specific management module is further invoked to process the service request, and generates a feedback result to respond the service request via the VDS interface.

A file data restoring system and method of a computer operating system and software thereof are applied in the installation of an operating system into a client computer. Divide the file data corresponding to the operating system into data blocks according to an appointed data size. Generate a check code for each of the data blocks to form a sequence list of original check codes and a sequence list of target check codes. Compare the sequence list of original check codes with the sequence list of target check codes, after installing the operating system into the computer. If the comparison result is inconsistent, a restoring call information is sent out. The position of the inconsistent check code is acquired through the restoring call information and the comparison result. The original file data corresponding to the position of the check code is read and restored to a corresponding target file.

A system and method for updating dirty data of designated raw device is applied in Linux system. A format of a command parameter for updating the dirty data of the designated raw device is determined, to obtain the command parameter with the correct format and transmit it into the Kernel of the Linux system. Then, a data structure of the designated raw device is sought based on the command parameter, to obtain a fast search tree of the designated raw device. Finally, all dirty data pages of the designated raw device are found by the fast search tree, and then are updated into a magnetic disk in a synchronous or asynchronous manner. Therefore, the dirty data of an individual raw device can be updated and written into the magnetic disk without interrupting the normal operation of the system, hereby ensuring secure, convenient, and highly efficient update of the dirty data.
