An intelligent endpoint can provide an automated, centralized boot management for multiple, interconnected computer systems. The intelligent endpoint can be notified of a boot event for one of the computer systems. This notification can occur over a system bus or via a system fabric. The intelligent endpoint can then decide on an appropriate action for the boot event. Notably, the action may affect or depend on a boot of another computer system. The intelligent endpoint can advantageously resolve arbitration issues in a cost- and size-efficient manner. Moreover, the intelligent endpoint can provide significant flexibility during booting.
