Abstract:
Systems and methods for synchronizing a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller with a management controller. The system includes the management controller, a RAID having the RAID controller connected to the management controller; and a serial bus connected to the management controller and the RAID controller. The RAID controller is configured to, when the RAID is powered up, assert the serial bus with a ready signal, and the management controller is configured to, upon checking the ready signal from the serial bus, construct a communication with the RAID controller for communicating with the RAID.
