Preservation Of Error Data On A Diskless Platform

View page

US Patent:

7467331, Dec 16, 2008

Filed:

Aug 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/468261

Inventors:

Salim Ahmed Agha - Rochester MN, US
Brent Robert Tiefenthaler - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 24, 714 45

Abstract:

A method for preserving error data on a computing platform that lacks non-volatile storage (e. g. , a “diskless” platform) is provided. In response to detecting a platform error (e. g. , automatically by hardware, software, or manually by a user when a wait or loop condition is suspected), platform error data may be gathered and temporarily stored in volatile storage accessible on the platform. In order to preserve the platform error data in the event power is lost after the error, the platform error data is transferred to a target system with access to non-volatile storage. Once the target system indicates the platform error data has been stored in non-volatile storage, the volatile storage used to temporarily store the platform error data may be freed-up.

US Patent:

7765431, Jul 27, 2010

Filed:

Dec 16, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/336087

Inventors:

Salim Ahmed Agha - Rochester MN, US
Brent Robert Tiefenthaler - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 24, 714 45

Abstract:

Systems and articles of manufacture for preserving error data on a computing platform that lacks non-volatile storage (e. g. , a “diskless” platform) are provided. In response to detecting a platform error (e. g. , automatically by hardware, software, or manually by a user when a wait or loop condition is suspected), platform error data may be gathered and temporarily stored in volatile storage accessible on the platform.

US Patent:

8245086, Aug 14, 2012

Filed:

Jun 26, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/492422

Inventors:

Curtis S. Eide - Rochester MN, US
Michael T. Kalmbach - Elgin MN, US
Aditya Kumar - Rochester MN, US
Timothy L. Thompson - Rochester MN, US
Brent R. Tiefenthaler - Rochester MN, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 46, 714 471, 714 25

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for conveying which hardware components of a logically partitioned computer system are assigned to a selected logical partition of the computer system. Partition information for the computer system is received. Further, a request is received from a user to view which hardware components of the computer system are assigned to a selected logical partition of the computer system. Based on the received partition information, one or more hardware components are determined that are assigned to the selected logical partition. Based on the determined hardware components, a virtual model of the computer system is generated that visually distinguishes hardware components assigned to the selected logical partition from hardware components not assigned to the selected logical partition. The virtual model is output responsive to the request.
