Server management module for data storage device access control
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11914735B2) discloses a server system comprising a management module with a memory device storing an allow-list containing default identifier information and a verification code. The management module is connected to multiple data storage devices, each storing a storage device code and identifier information. During initialization, the management module checks if the identifier information matches the default identifiers in the allow-list, generating log data based on the results. Additionally, a controller issues access commands containing device addresses, with the management module reading the storage device code to determine the validity of the data storage device and enabling or disabling access accordingly.
Furthermore, the server system includes a relay device, bus-channel switch, and multiple storage-device switches to facilitate the connection between the controller and data storage devices. The management module controls the switches based on the comparison results, transitioning devices between enabled and disabled states. The system also includes features for storing log data, comparing storage device codes with verification codes, and managing access based on device addresses. Overall, the patented server system offers a comprehensive approach to managing access to data storage devices, ensuring secure and efficient operations within a server environment.
