发明名称 EFI based mechanism to export platform management capabilities to the OS
摘要 In some embodiments of the present invention, an architecture comprises a cross platform specification for platform manageability to provide a secure execution environment independent of the host operating system which can execute third party management capability extensions, called Capability Modules (CM's) to enhance platform manageability. At least one embodiment of the present invention enables autonomic, utility, and on-demand computing. An operating system (OS) sensor effector transmits information about the health of the OS to the platform manageability (PM) component using EFI services. The PM component may enforce recovery actions to recover from disastrous conditions or recommend actions to host OS in order to prevent a possible fatal condition or a condition under which the OS could be subject to severe performance degradation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
