Unlocking access of information responsive to validation of program codes of virtual entities

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a management controller to:

• perform validation of program codes of a cluster of virtual entities in a computing device, wherein the management controller is separate from the computing device and remains powered by an auxiliary power supply even when power is removed from the computing device;
• and
• in response to the validation of the program codes, unlock access of information in an information store to allow access of the information by the computing device, wherein the information is for use by the cluster of virtual entities in interacting with one another and to execute tasks of the virtual entities in the cluster of virtual entities, and wherein the management controller is to block access of the information in the information store prior to the validation.

A method executed by a management controller, comprising:

• performing a sequence of validations of machine-readable instructions of a computing device that is separate from the management controller, the sequence of validations comprising a first validation of a boot code of the computing device, and a second validation of program codes of virtual entities in the computing device;
• and
• in response to the first validation and the second validation, unlock access of information in an information store to allow access of the information by the computing device, wherein the information is for use by the virtual entities in interacting with one another and to execute tasks of the virtual entities, and wherein the management controller is to block access of the information in the information store prior to completion of the sequence of validations.
