A system controls operating system images for a group of diskless servers and comprises an operating system builder, an operating system image manager and a run-time configuration and management tool. The operating system builder is configured to create a binary image of an operating system and modify components of the image by automated operation. The binary image is operative as common base operating system image for multiple servers. The operating system image manager discovers and manages a set of diskless servers in conjunction with a server manageability interface and a boot server. The run-time configuration and management tool for the diskless server set is configured for high-availability management, server and application health monitoring, and enforcing a security protocol between a network and a host server and individual diskless servers.

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to control operating system images for diskless servers

Systems and methods are provided for substantially mitigating leakage current. One embodiment includes an integrated circuit (IC). The IC comprises a monitoring circuit configured to control switching of one of a first voltage source and a second voltage source to an output. The IC also comprises a leakage current protection circuit configured to substantially mitigate leakage current flow between the first voltage source and the second voltage source due to an undershoot condition caused by the switching between the first and second voltage sources to the output.
