ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems to support XML-based consoles in pre-boot and post OS execution environments. In an embodiment, during pre-boot, XML console in and console out interfaces are loaded, and corresponding API's are published to enable use of the interfaces by various firmware and software components. An XML schema is employed to provide templates for system management console user interface screens and to map various system components to corresponding settings and related data. A system management console host application is run on a remote host or the local system. XML content is passed between the system and the console host application via the XML console interfaces. The XML content is used to generate user interfaces via the console host application and to identify user navigation/menu selection within the user interface screens. The XML console interfaces are also available during OS runtime and OS afterlife, enabling a seamless integration between console appearance during pre-boot, OS runtime, and afterlife.
