Dynamic system management communication path selection

摘要

An information handling system includes a processor, a controller hub, a shared higher bandwidth path coupling the processor to the controller hub, and an exclusive lower bandwidth path coupling the processor to the controller hub. The processor communicates system management information over the bandwidth path in response to a first set of criteria and communicates the information over the lower bandwidth path in response to the second set of criteria.

1. An information handling system comprising:
a processor; a controller hub; a shared, higher bandwidth path coupling the processor to the controller hub; and an exclusive, lower bandwidth path coupling the processor to the controller hub, wherein the processor is configured to communicate system management information over the shared, higher bandwidth path in response to a first set of criteria and to communicate the system management information over the exclusive, lower bandwidth path in response to a second set of the criteria, wherein a first instance of the first set of the criteria is satisfied before an instance of the second set of the criteria is satisfied, and wherein a second instance of the first set of the criteria is satisfied after the instance of the second set of the criteria is satisfied.
