SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT OF AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an access controller of an information handling system may be configured to receive a management operation from a management server communicatively coupled to an out-of-band network interface of the information handling system. The access controller may further be configured to, in response to receipt of the management operation and in concert with a basic input/output system of the information handling system, cause the information handling system to enter a power state in which a computer-readable medium associated with the information handling system is powered on. The access controller may also be configured to, in concert with the basic input/output system, transfer data associated with the management operation from the management server to the computer-readable medium.

1. An information handling system comprising:
a processor; a basic input/output system communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising a program of instructions executable on the processor; an in-band network interface communicatively coupled to the processor; and an access controller communicatively coupled to the processor comprising an out-of-band network interface configured to communicate via a communication channel physically isolated from the in-band network interface, the access controller configured to:
receive a management operation from a management server communicatively coupled to the out-of-band network interface;in response to receipt of the management operation and in concert with the basic input/output system, cause the information handling system to enter a power state in which a computer-readable medium associated with the information handling system is powered on; andin concert with the basic input/output system, transfer data associated with the management operation from the management server to the computer-readable medium.
