BMC device component identification information retrieval/provisioning system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) processing system;
• and
• a BMC memory system that is coupled to the BMC processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the BMC processing system, cause the BMC processing system to provide a BMC engine that includes:
• a host management sub-engine that is connected to at least one host component via a host communication interface;
• and
• a device management sub-engine that is connected to at least one device component via a device communication interface that is not accessible by the host management sub-engine,
• wherein the device management sub-engine is configured to:
• retrieve device component identification information from each of the at least one device component via the device communication interface;
• and
• provide the device component identification information to the host management sub-engine, and
• wherein the host management sub-engine is configured to:
• retrieve host component identification information from each of the at least one host component via the host communication interface;
• and
• provide the device component identification information and the host component identification information for management operations.

A method for retrieving and provisioning device identification information using a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) device, comprising:

• retrieving, by a device management subsystem that is provided by a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) device and that is connected to at least one device component via a device communication interface that is not accessible by a host management subsystem that is provided by the BMC device and that is connected to at least one host component via a host communication interface, device component identification information from each of the at least one device component via the device communication interface;
• providing, by the device management subsystem, the device component identification information to the host management subsystem,
• retrieving, by the host management subsystem, host component identification information from each of the at least one host component via the host communication interface;
• and
• providing, by the host management subsystem, the device component identification information and the host component identification information for management operations.
