20140173093 | System and Method to use Common Addresses on a Management Controller without Conflict - A management controller includes a first data communication interface for communicating with a first network interface, a second data communication interface for communicating with a second network interface, and a processor. The first network interface provides a first network interface mode that permits a processing system to access a network, an operating system-to-management controller (OS-to-MC) pass-through mode that permits the management controller to access the processing system, and a network-to-management controller (Net-to-MC) pass-through mode that permits the management controller to access the network. The second network interface permits the management controller to access a management station. The management controller provides a common Media Access Control address and a common Internet Protocol address to the first data communication interface and to the second data communication interface without causing conflict on the network. | 06-19-2014 |
20160057106 | System and Method to use Common Addresses on Different Interfaces in a Management Controller without Conflict - A management controller includes a first data communication interface for communicating with a first network interface, a second data communication interface for communicating with a second network interface, and a processor. The first network interface provides a first network interface mode that permits a processing system to access a network, an operating system-to-management controller (OS-to-MC) pass-through mode that permits the management controller to access the processing system, and a network-to-management controller (Net-to-MC) pass-through mode that permits the management controller to access the network. The second network interface permits the management controller to access a management station. The management controller provides a common Media Access Control address and a common Internet Protocol address to the first data communication interface and to the second data communication interface without causing conflict on the network. | 02-25-2016 |

20140195854 | System and Method to Remotely Recover from a System Halt During System Initialization - An information handling system includes a memory, a processor, and a management controller. The memory includes code to implement a power on self test (POST). The management controller operates to receive an indication that the POST has halted execution in response to a POST error, to log the indication and the POST error, and to send an input to the POST. The POST operates to receive the input and to continue execution based upon the input. | 07-10-2014 |
20140280790 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SHARING A SINGLE FIRMWARE IMAGE IN A CHASSIS CONFIGURED TO RECEIVE A PLURALITY OF MODULAR INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include a chassis configured to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems, wherein each modular information handling system comprises a remote access controller and a management controller disposed in the chassis. The management controller may be configured to be communicatively coupled to one or more remote access controllers of the one or more modular information handling systems received in the chassis and further configured to share a single remote access controller firmware image such that each of the one or more remote access controllers loads and executes the single remote access controller firmware image. | 09-18-2014 |
20150160627 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT IN A DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM CHASSIS - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for use in a chassis having a plurality of slots each configured to receive a module having one or more information handling systems wherein each slot is configured to electrically and communicatively couple the module to other components of the chassis may be provided. The method may include receiving, by a controller integral to the chassis, a signal from a sensor integral to the chassis, the signal indicative of a measured physical quantity of the sensor. The method may also include communicating, from the controller to a remote access controller integral to at least one module disposed in the plurality of slots, sensor information in conformity with the signal. | 06-11-2015 |
