Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operation of a data processing system are disclosed. To do so, a management controller of the data processing system may make a determination that a new storage device is operably connected to hardware resources of the data processing system; and based on the determination, data usable to identify whether the storage device is a stolen storage device may be obtained by the management controller and via a side-band channel. The management controller may then manage operation of the storage device based on an inferred status of the storage device that is based on the data.
Claims20
A method for managing operation of a data processing system, the method comprising:
- making by a management controller of the data processing system, a determination that a new storage device is operably connected to hardware resources of the data processing system;
- and
- based on the determination:
- obtaining, by the management controller and via a side-band channel, data usable to identify whether the storage device is a stolen storage device;
- and
- managing, by the management controller, operation of the storage device based on an inferred status of the storage device that is based on the data.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing operation of a data processing system, the operations comprising:
- making by a management controller of the data processing system, a determination that a new storage device is operably connected to hardware resources of the data processing system;
- and
- based on the determination:
- obtaining, by the management controller and via a side-band channel, data usable to identify whether the storage device is a stolen storage device;
- and
- managing, by the management controller, operation of the storage device based on an inferred status of the storage device that is based on the data.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause operations for managing operation of a data processing system to be performed, the operations comprising:
- making by a management controller of the data processing system, a determination that a new storage device is operably connected to hardware resources of the data processing system;
- and
- based on the determination:
- obtaining, by the management controller and via a side-band channel, data usable to identify whether the storage device is a stolen storage device;
- and
- managing, by the management controller, operation of the storage device based on an inferred status of the storage device that is based on the data.
