Information processing system.

摘要

An information handling network 150 includes a plurality of information processing systems 102 having a predetermined system configuration operating under the control of a corresponding number of operating systems where during a initial microcode load (IML) period prior to loading the operating systems a change in the system configuration is detected based on the predetermined system configuration. Upon detecting the change, a communication adaptor device 231 is activated for communicating certain configuration information over the network before loading the operating system.
