摘要： A system and method for storing adapter card Option ROM BIOS extensions on the system's DASD and, more particularly, on a partition of the DASD that is generally inaccessible to the operating system. The system may partition the system DASD into a user partition and a hidden partition where the hidden partition is preferably inaccessible to the operating system. BIOS extensions files are stored in the hidden partition. The system BIOS, when executed, identifies the peripheral devices on the system and interrogates the hidden partition for BIOS extension files corresponding to each of the identified devices. If the hidden partition contains a BIOS extension file corresponding to an identified peripheral device, the file is verified for authenticity. If the verification completes successfully, the BIOS extension file is copied into shadow RAM and control is passed to it. In one embodiment, each BIOS extension file are downloaded to the system's DASD using a standards-based update process that is independent of the vendor or adapter card type.
摘要翻译：用于在系统的DASD上存储适配器卡选项ROM BIOS扩展的系统和方法，更具体地，在通常对操作系统不可访问的DASD的分区上。系统可以将系统DASD划分成用户分区和隐藏分区，其中隐藏分区优选地对于操作系统是不可访问的。 BIOS扩展文件存储在隐藏分区中。系统BIOS在执行时识别系统上的外围设备，并询问与每个已识别设备相对应的BIOS扩展文件的隐藏分区。如果隐藏的分区包含与识别的外围设备相对应的BIOS扩展文件，则验证该文件的真实性。如果验证成功完成，BIOS扩展文件将被复制到影子RAM中，并将控制传递给它。在一个实施例中，使用独立于供应商或适配卡类型的基于标准的更新过程将每个BIOS扩展文件下载到系统的DASD。

摘要： A data processing system and method are described for providing a dynamically assigned network address to a client computer system. The data processing system includes a server computer system coupled to the network. An access port is provided which is coupled to the network. The computer system is coupled to the network utilizing the access port. The computer system is then powered on. The computer system requires a network address in order to communicate utilizing the network. The computer system initially has no stored network address each time prior to being powered on. A dynamic network address is provided to the computer system utilizing only the access port each time the computer system is powering on.

摘要： Hypervisors are a new technology in the industry that enable multiple Operating Systems to co-exist on a single client. The use of a hypervisor provides a novel approach to email virus protection. The hypervisor is able to fire up an Operating System on demand, for a specific purpose, or have it running from the powering of the computer. A second Operating System can be provided as a donor Operating System that acts as a scratch area or scratch pad. Emails sent to the recipient are opened under the donor Operating System, or the “Scratch OS”. Once the email activities are complete, the “Scratch OS” can be discarded. Thus, any damage that may be caused by an email virus would be nil, and further the User Operating System would be undamaged. This method would be effective in precluding any damage that a virus may have done.
摘要翻译：管理程序是行业中的一项新技术，可使多个操作系统在单个客户端上共存。使用虚拟机管理程序提供了一种新颖的电子邮件病毒保护方法。管理程序能够根据需要启动操作系统，用于特定目的，或者从计算机的电源运行。可以提供第二个操作系统作为供应商操作系统，作为刮擦区域或便笺板。发送给收件人的电子邮件将在捐赠者操作系统或“Scratch OS”下打开。一旦电子邮件活动完成，“Scratch OS”就可以被丢弃。因此，可能由电子邮件病毒引起的任何损害将为零，并且用户操作系统将进一步损坏。这种方法将有效地排除病毒可能造成的任何损害。

摘要： A client computer is connected via a network to an anti-virus server and polls the server for indication that an anti-virus needs to be immediately downloaded from the anti-virus server. The client computer disengages from the network, and re-establishes a link with only the trusted anti-virus server. The anti-virus fix is installed, the client computer re-booted, and the client computer is then allowed to reconnect to the full network. If the client's primary operating system (OS) is infected, a secondary OS in the client computer performs the anti-virus download and execution. The disengagement from the network is performed by applying a filter in a network interface card (NIC) driver by the primary OS, the secondary OS, a service processor (SP), or by a virtual machine manager (VMM), depending on which is available at the client computer.
摘要翻译：客户端计算机通过网络连接到防病毒服务器，并轮询服务器以指示需要从防病毒服务器立即下载防病毒。客户端计算机与网络脱离联系，并重新建立与唯一可信任的防病毒服务器的链接。安装了防病毒修复程序，客户端计算机重新启动，然后允许客户端计算机重新连接到完整的网络。如果客户端的主操作系统（OS）被感染，客户端计算机中的辅助操作系统将执行防病毒下载和执行。通过由主OS，辅助OS，服务处理器（SP）或虚拟机管理器（VMM）在网络接口卡（NIC）驱动器中应用过滤器来执行从网络的脱离，这取决于哪个是在客户端计算机上可用。

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomically disposing a computer such as a workstation. The computer's local persistent storage medium is configured with pre-boot image which is configured with a set of functional modules that facilitate disposal or recycling of the computer to the next user. The disposal and recycle methods are automated, require minimal user intervention, and facilitate moving configuration options and data to a different computer. The entire process may execute from the pre-boot image on the computer's local persistent storage medium without ever booting the primary operating system.
