Abstract: The described embodiments include a system management controller for managing servers on a plurality of sled devices. The system management controller includes a processing mechanism and a plurality of internal interfaces coupled to the processing mechanism. Each internal interface in the system management controller is coupled to at least one embedded management controller on each of the sled devices, the at least one embedded management controller on each sled device facilitating communications between the processing mechanism in the system management controller and a corresponding server on the sled device. In these embodiments, the processing mechanism in the system management controller is configured to manage one or more operations of the servers on the plurality of sled devices.

Abstract: The described embodiments include a multi-node management mechanism for managing a plurality of server nodes. These embodiments further comprise a separate set of busses coupled between each of the server nodes and the multi-node management mechanism and a controller in the multi-node management mechanism, the controller being coupled to each bus in the sets of busses. In these embodiments, the controller is configured to handle communications on each bus so that the multi-node management mechanism appears to a corresponding server node to be a separate endpoint for the bus.

Abstract: The described embodiments comprise an embedded management controller for managing a server on a sled device. The embedded management controller on the sled device comprises a processing mechanism; a plurality of internal interfaces coupled to the processing mechanism, each internal interface coupled to a corresponding interface of the server; and an external interface coupled to the processing mechanism, the external interface configured to be coupled to a system management controller separate from the sled device. In these embodiments, the processing mechanism is configured to communicate with the server using the internal interfaces, and is configured to selectively communicate information based on communications with the server to the system management controller using the external interface and commands to the server based on communications received from the system management controller using the external interface.
