Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor, an interface configured for hot-insertion of information handling resources, and a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive a first notification that an information handling resource has been hot-removed from the interface; and in response to the first notification, disable power to the interface to prevent initialization of an information handling resource that is hot-inserted at the interface.

An information handling system comprising:
- a processor;
- an interface configured for hot-insertion of information handling resources;
- and
- a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system;
- wherein the management controller is configured to:
- receive a first notification that an information handling resource has been hot-removed from the interface;
- and
- in response to the first notification, disable power to the interface to prevent initialization of an information handling resource that is hot-inserted at the interface.
A method comprising, in an information handling system that includes an interface configured for hot-insertion of information handling resources and further includes a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system:
- the management controller receiving a first notification that an information handling resource has been hot-removed from the interface;
- and
- in response to the first notification, the management controller disabling power to the interface to prevent initialization of an information handling resource that is hot-inserted at the interface.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable code thereon that is executable by a processor of a management controller of an information handling system for:
- receiving a first notification that an information handling resource has been hot-removed from an interface of the information handling system;
