Abstract:
A system and method are described for aggregating management of devices connected to a server. In one embodiment, devices connected to a server may be identified by an operating system of the server. The devices may be in communication with one another through a network. The operating system may communicate a network identifier of each device to a service processor of the server. The service processor may aggregately manage the devices independent from the operating system. The service processor may receive management commands from an external source. Each of the management commands may be associated with one of the connected devices, but the connected devices may be incapable of communicating directly with the external source. The service processor may communicate each management command to the device associated with the management command using the network identifier of the associated device. The management command can then be performed on the associated device.
