METHOD FOR STARTING COMPUTING DEVICE, COMPUTING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104041 titled 'METHOD FOR STARTING COMPUTING DEVICE, COMPUTING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for starting a computing device by acquiring type information on a plurality of host bus adapter (HBA) cards, determining a first group of HBA cards based on the type information, and starting the operating system of the computing device by preventing scanning of disks connected to the first group of HBA cards.
- Reducing the number of storage apparatuses that need to be scanned before starting the operating system
- Accelerating the starting of the operating system of the computing device
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data centers, server farms, and other computing environments where fast boot times are crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of slow boot times caused by scanning a large number of storage devices connected to a computing device.
Benefits
- Faster boot times for computing devices - Improved efficiency in data centers and server environments
Potential Commercial Applications
- Server hardware manufacturers - Data center operators - Cloud computing providers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a similar method for optimizing boot times by selectively scanning storage devices connected to a computing device.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this method impact the overall performance of the computing device once the operating system is started? 2. Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to implementing this method in different computing environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for starting a computing device, a computing device, and a program product. the method includes: acquiring type information on a plurality of host bus adapter (hba) cards of the computing device; determining a first group of hba cards in the plurality of hba cards based on the type information; and starting an operating system of the computing device by preventing scanning of disks connected to the first group of hba cards. in this way, the number of storage apparatuses that need to be scanned before starting the operating system is reduced, and the starting of the operating system of the computing device is accelerated.
