Abstract
An information handling system includes a data handling device and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The data handling device includes a co-processor configured to instantiate a device operating system for the data handling device. The data handling device includes a Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) endpoint. The BMC establishes a serial terminal session with the device operating system via the MCTP endpoint.
Claims16
An information handling system, comprising:
- a first data handling device including a first co-processor configured to instantiate a first device operating system for the first data handling device, and further including a first Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) endpoint;
- and
- a baseboard management controller (BMC) configured to establish a first serial terminal session with the first device operating system via the first MCTP endpoint;
- wherein the first serial terminal session is established utilizing a network controller sideband interface passthrough type MCTP command;
- and
- wherein after establishing the first serial terminal session, the first serial terminal session is further maintained utilizing an encapsulated format type MCTP command.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- instantiating, by a processor of an information handling system, a host operating system for the information handling system;
- instantiating, by a first co-processor of a first data handling device of the information handling system, a first device operating system for the first data handling device, wherein the first data handling system includes a first management component transport protocol (MCTP) endpoint;
- and
- establishing, by a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the information handling system, a first serial terminal session with the first device operating system via the first MCTP endpoint;
- establishing, by the BMC, the first serial terminal session utilizing a network controller sideband interface passthrough type MCTP command;
- and
- after establishing the first serial terminal session, further maintaining the first serial terminal session utilizing a Security Protocol and Data Model type MCTP command.
4 more elements
An information handling system, comprising:
- a host processing system including a processor configured to instantiate a host operating system for the information handling system;
- a first data handling device coupled to the host processing system, the first data handling device including a first co-processor configured to instantiate a first device operating system for the first data handling device and further including a first management component transport protocol (MCTP) endpoint;
- and
- a baseboard management controller configured to establish a first serial terminal session with the first device operating system via the first MCTP endpoint;
- wherein the first serial terminal session is established utilizing a network controller sideband interface passthrough type MCTP command;
- and
- wherein after establishing the first serial terminal session, the first serial terminal session is further maintained utilizing an encapsulated format type MCTP command.
