Systems and methods for providing sensor information from an intelligent device for closed-loop thermal control

A method comprising, in an information handling system comprising a processor, an information handling resource communicatively coupled to the processor, the information handling resource including a controller and a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature associated with the information handling resource, and a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and the information handling resource, and configured to perform thermal management of the information handling system:

• the management controller receiving information regarding the information handling resource and creating a data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• the information handling resource receiving a plurality of data records from the management controller;
• the information handling resource determining, based on the received plurality of data records, the data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• periodically communicating information indicative of the temperature from the information handling resource to the management controller to update the data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• and
• based on information stored in the data record, performing closed-loop thermal management of the information handling system;
• wherein the periodically communicating is in response to receiving an indication of a presence of the data record.

An article of manufacture, comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium;

• and computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to, in an information handling system comprising an information handling resource, the information handling resource including a controller and a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature associated with the information handling resource, and a management controller communicatively coupled to the information handling resource, configured to perform thermal management of the information handling system:
• cause the management controller to receive information regarding the information handling resource and create a data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• cause the information handling resource to receive a plurality of data records from the management controller;
• cause the information handling resource to determine, based on the received plurality of data records, the data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• periodically receive at the management controller information indicative of the temperature from the information handling resource to update the data record associated with the temperature sensor;
• and based on information stored in the data record, perform closed-loop thermal management of the information handling system;
• wherein the periodically communicating is in response to receiving an indication of a presence of the data record.
