Abstract
Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. In particular, one or more flashless peripheral devices may be connected to the data processing system. These flashless peripheral devices are unable to provide services they were originally designed to provide, and may not even be detectable by the data processing system. A management controller of the data processing system may use various resources of the data processing system to identify the existence of these flashless peripheral devices. Once identified, the flashless peripheral devices may be restored, by the management controller, to be able to provide the services that these peripheral devices were originally designed to provide.
Claims20
A method for managing a data processing system, the method comprising:
- making a first determination, by a management controller of the data processing system, that a peripheral device connected to the data processing system is in a flashless state;
- and
- instantiate, by the management controller and in response to the first determination, one or more recovery actions to recover the peripheral device from the flashless state.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing peripheral device of a data processing system, the operations comprising:
- making a first determination, by a management controller of the data processing system, that a peripheral device connected to the data processing system is in a flashless state;
- and
- instantiate, by the management controller and in response to the first determination, one or more recovery actions to recover the peripheral device from the flashless state.
A management controller of a data processing system, the management controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the management controller to perform operations for managing a peripheral device of the data processing system, the operations comprising:
- making a first determination, by a management controller of the data processing system, that a peripheral device connected to the data processing system is in a flashless state;
- and
- instantiate, by the management controller and in response to the first determination, one or more recovery actions to recover the peripheral device from the flashless state.
