Network client id from external managment host via management network

A system comprising:

• one or more servers with one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more server management subsystems and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• a management network operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more servers for execution by at least one management processor;
• a remote power controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more servers via a power distribution unit;
• the management network operatively coupled to the remote power controller, configured to cause the power distribution unit to apply standby power to at least one server management module having at least one service processor;
• the management network operatively coupled to at least one management host server for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to receive an IP address request from at least one server management module;
• the at least one management host server operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more servers for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to assign the IP address and associates the at least one server management module with the assigned IP address;
• and
• the at least one management host server operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more servers for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to issue a command to the at least one server management module to store a client ID as a location sensor value wherein a geographic map can be created using the client ID.

A computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable, tangible storage medium;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, cause a power distribution unit to apply standby power to at least one server management module having at least one service processor;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause a management host server network to receive an IP address request from the at least one server management module;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the management host server to assign the IP address and associates the at least one server management module with the assigned IP address;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the management host server to issue a command to the at least one server management module to store a client ID as a location sensor value wherein a geographic map can be created using the client ID.
