Abstract:
A method may include in response to determining a host system is off, configuring a video controller of an information handling system including setting a display resolution of the video controller and writing management video data associated to a primary frame buffer such that management video data is able to be retrieved by the video controller for output to one or both of a first display associated with the host system and a second display of a management interface communicatively coupled to a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and the memory and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The method may further include in response to determining the host system is on, writing the management video data to an alternate frame buffer such that management video data is able to be retrieved by the video controller for output to the second display.
