SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SUPPORTING MORE THAN 256 SENSORS BY INTELLIGENT PLATFORM MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (IPMI) BASED SERVER MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER

摘要

A system includes a computing device and a server management controller configured to be connected to the computing device. The server management controller includes a processor, an interface in communication with multiple sensors disposed in the computing device, and a non-volatile memory storing computer executable code. The code, when executed at the processor, is configured to: assign each of the sensors with a logical unit number (LUN) and a sensor number; receive a first message from a first sensor of the sensors via the interface, where the first message has a first LUN field storing the assigned LUN and a first sensor number field storing the assigned sensor number of the first sensor; process the received first message; and determine the first sensor as a source of the first message based on the LUN and the sensor number stored in the first message.
