Abstract
A secure boot monitoring and validation process for operating system (OS) initial installation or upgrade operations. A validated copy of OS boot files is made during OS installation. The boot files are stored in a first RAID array. A checksum comparator or OS boot file filesystem check (FSCK) component validates the boot files upon initial installation of the OS by comparison with a secure copy of the boot files, which are stored in a second RAID array. Any validation failure indicates corruption or unwanted modification of the boot file data, and an autorecovery operation using different boot partitions is attempted.
