Abstract:
1. An apparatus for maintaining dynamic persistent data, the apparatus comprising: a memory storing executable code; a processor executing the executable code, the executable code comprising a selection module selecting a most recent metadata instance from metadata stored in a first service controller card non-volatile storage device (NSD) for a first service processor of a first service controller card and a second service controller card NSD for a second service processor of a second service controller card as current metadata; a verification module verifying the current metadata if a last update operation was successful and a first backplane NSD of a backplane participated in the last update operation; a validation module validating the current metadata with metadata from the first backplane NSD if the current metadata is verified; and a communication module communicating first backplane NSD data to a system processor if the current metadata is validated.
