Abstract:
While the management module of an information handling system is set as a standby module, an enclosure controller provides first requests for attribute data of the information handling system, and receives and stores first response data for attribute data associated with a first subset of the first requests in a local memory of the enclosure controller. The enclosure controller receives request failure responses associated with a second subset of the first requests directed to a subset of the attributes data for the information handling system stored in a shared memory. While the management module is set as an active module, the management module is granted access to the shared memory. The enclosure controller provides retry requests for attributes associated with the request failure responses, and receives and stores second response data associated with the retry requests in the local memory.
