System and method for providing accessibility for access controller storage media

An access controller for use in an information handling system, comprising:

• storage media communicatively coupled to the processor;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the storage media;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• mount the storage media and a portion of network-attached storage remote to the information handling system such that data may be communicated between the portion of the network-attached storage and the storage media;
• maintain redundancy between the storage media and the portion of network-attached storage in accordance with a redundancy policy;
• and
• monitor connectivity between the access controller and the network-attached storage;
• and
• a storage emulation module communicatively coupled to the storage media configured to emulate the storage media such that the storage media appears to an operating system executing on an information handling system in which the access controller is disposed as storage media locally attached to the information handling system.

An information handling system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• an access controller communicatively coupled to the processor, the access controller having a storage media and configured to:
• emulate the storage media such that the storage media appears to an operating system executing on the processor as storage media locally attached to the information handling system;
• mount the storage media and a portion of network-attached storage remote to the information handling system such that data may be communicated between the portion of the network-attached storage and the storage media;
• monitor connectivity between the access controller and the network-attached storage;
• and
• maintain redundancy between the storage media and the portion of network-attached storage in accordance with a redundancy policy.
