Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system, and an interface for communicatively coupling the management controller to a second information handling system external to the information handling system for out-of-band management of the information handling system, wherein the management controller is further configured to enable communication between the second information handling system and an operating system executing on the processor.
Claims18
An information handling system comprising:
- a processor;
- a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system;
- and
- an interface for communicatively coupling the management controller to a second information handling system external to the information handling system for out-of-band management of the information handling system;
- wherein the management controller is further configured to enable communication between the second information handling system and an operating system executing on the processor.
A method comprising:
- communicatively coupling a processor to a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of an information handling system;
- communicatively coupling the management controller to a second information handling system external to the information handling system for out-of-band management of the information handling system via an interface;
- and
- enabling communication between the second information handling system and an operating system executing on the processor via the management controller.
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 a first information handling system comprising a management controller communicatively configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system:
- communicatively couple a host system processor of the first information handling system to the management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the first information handling system;
- communicatively couple the management controller to a second information handling system external to the first information handling system for out-of-band management of the first information handling system via an interface;
- and
- enable communication between the second information handling system and an operating system executing on the host system processor via the management controller.
