| 20090019082 | System and Method for Discovery of Common Information Model Object Managers - A system and method is disclosed for managing objects in accordance with the Common Information Model. A CIMOM installation utility identifies directory services that are coupled to or included within the network or computing environment. Once identified, the directory services are extended to include an additional managed object of the Common Information Model. After the schema of the directory service is extended, the managed object is created in at least one of the directory services. Following these steps, a client of the network is able to execute a discovery process to locate the directory services and managed objects of the directory services, thereby allowing the client to communicate with the managed objects of the directory services, including the managed object that was added as part of the extension of the schema of one or more of the directory services. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090049257 | System and Method for Implementing a Memory Defect Map - In accordance with the present disclosure, a system and method are herein disclosed for managing memory defects in an information handling system. In an information handling system, a first quantity of memory, such as RAM, may contain defective memory elements. A second quantity of memory is physically coupled to the first quantity of memory and is used to store a memory defect map containing information regarding the location of defective memory elements in the first quantity of memory. The memory defect map may then be referenced by the BIOS or the operating system to preclude use of regions of memory containing defective memory elements. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090049270 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A MEMORY MAPPING FUNCTION TO MAP MEMORY DEFECTS - A system and method are herein disclosed for managing memory defects in an information handling system. More particularly, a system and method are described for generating a usable memory map which excludes memory locations containing defect memory elements. In an information handling system, a memory defect map, which contains information about the location of defective memory elements, is coupled to the memory device. As a map of memory usable by the system is created, usable memory regions containing defective memory elements are excluded from the memory map. The memory map is passed to the operating system, which uses only those regions of memory designated as usable and non-defective. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090049335 | System and Method for Managing Memory Errors in an Information Handling System - A method for handling memory defects during the POST phase and memory calibration in single processor and multiprocessor information handling systems is disclosed whereby information regarding the location of a known memory defect is utilized to optimize the performance of an information handling system. Memory defects within system memory are identified and replaced during operation with error free memory space. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090049351 | Method for Creating a Memory Defect Map and Optimizing Performance Using the Memory Defect Map - A method for storing a memory defect map is disclosed whereby a memory component is tested for defects at the time of manufacture and any memory defects detected are stored in a memory defect map and used to optimize the system performance. The memory defect map is updated and the system's remapping resources optimized as new memory defects are detected during operation. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090119664 | Multiple virtual machine configurations in the scalable enterprise - A system and method are disclosed for using directory services to manage resources in a virtual execution environment. A directory repository is populated with resource, administration, roles, policy, and service level agreement (SLA) objects. A service request is received by a virtual machine manager (VMM) administrator, which determines its requirements. The directory repository is queried with a directory service to identify available resources to fulfill the service request. The service request is routed to the VMM of the virtual machine (VM) host comprising the available resources. If an active VM comprises the available resources, then its roles, policy, and SLA objects are retrieved from the directory repository. The objects are then used to respectively determine if the service request has sufficient authentication and authorizations, if the VM's configuration meets the service request's resource requirements, and if service levels requirements can be maintained. If so, then the service request is fulfilled by the target VM. If the resources are available, but not on a currently executing VM, then an administration object is created to execute a new VM and roles, policy, and SLA objects are created that match the requirements of the service request. The newly created objects are then stored in the directory repository and the service request is fulfilled by the new VM. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090257187 | Information Handling System with Chassis Design for Storage Device Access - A design for an information handling system and the chassis of an information handling system is disclosed in which an array of storage devices is included at the front and rear sides of the chassis. Each array of storage devices may include a number of columns and each column may include a number of storage devices. The power supply of the information handling system of the present disclosure is located within the interior of the information handling system. The placement of the power supply in the interior of the information handling system allows an array of storage devices to be located at both the front and rear sides of the chassis. Either the front or rear of the information handling system may include a connection point for data or power connections for the information handling system. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100011014 | Adaptive Storage System Transcoder - A system and method are disclosed for the transcoding of data from a first format to a second format. A data format transcoder receives a request for data from a requester. The desired format of the requested data is determined. A descriptor file containing formatting information describing the requested format is loaded into the data format transcoder. The requested data is retrieved in its native format along with its corresponding common descriptor. The requested data is read in its native format, using the formatting information from its associated common descriptor. The data format transcoder then uses the formatting information in the common descriptor of the requested format to perform transcoding operations to convert the requested data from its native format into the requested format. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100251044 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A MEMORY MAPPING FUNCTION TO MAP MEMORY DEFECTS - A system and method are herein disclosed for managing memory defects in an information handling system. More particularly, a system and method are described for generating a usable memory map which excludes memory locations containing defect memory elements. In an information handling system, a memory defect map, which contains information about the location of defective memory elements, is coupled to the memory device. As a map of memory usable by the system is created, usable memory regions containing defective memory elements are excluded from the memory map. The memory map is passed to the operating system, which uses only those regions of memory designated as usable and non-defective. | 09-30-2010 |
