摘要: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a host system and a management controller. The host system may include a host system processor and a device coupled to the host system processor. The management controller may be communicatively coupled to the host system processor and configured to provide management of the information handling system and manage multiple functions instantiated on the device via a single sideband interface channel interfaced between the device and the management controller by communicating function-oriented sideband commands, each function-oriented sideband command including a function address field for setting forth a function of the multiple functions to which the function-oriented sideband command is addressed.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for managing communications in a distributed system are disclosed. To improve the efficiency of communication, the system may implement the port extension protocol which may allow communication devices to utilize ports of other devices for communication purposes. To do so, the communication devices may instruct the other devices with respect to how the communication devices expect the other devices to process data units transmitted via networks (e.g., network data units). However, not all of the other devices that may process the network data units may include functionality to process and/or implement the instructions from the communication devices. To extend the functionality of such devices, a remote control plane for devices that lack this processing functionality may be provided.

摘要: An information handling system may include a management controller and information handling resources that are coupled to the management controller via a first communication channel and a second communication channel, each information handling resource having a first communication channel identifier, and each information handling resource having a second communication channel identifier. The management controller may query the information handling resources via the first communication channel to determine a first set of unique identifiers for the information handling resources; query the information handling resources via the second communication channel to determine a second set of unique identifiers for the information handling resources; and based on a comparison between the first set of unique identifiers and the second set of unique identifiers, create a mapping that correlates the first communication channel identifiers with the second communication channel identifiers.

摘要: Embodiments of systems and methods for high-availability (HA) management networks for High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms are described. In some embodiments, an HPC platform may include a first Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) having a first network port; and a hardware accelerator comprising a second BMC having a second network port, where at least one of: (a) the first BMC is configured to share the first network port with the second BMC in response to a determination that the second network port has failed or has insufficient bandwidth, or (b) the second BMC is configured to share the second network port with the first BMC in response to a determination that the first network port has failed or has insufficient bandwidth.

摘要: A method includes determining, during auxiliary power operating mode of an information handling system, devices connected to peripheral component interconnect (PCI) slots and identifying, via a controller of the IHS, when a Virtual Ethernet Bridge (VEB) is present on a first communication path, which indicates that a high power consuming device with sideband enablement is present in a corresponding one of the PCI slots. The method includes configuring, via the first communication path, an uplink port on the VEB, collecting information about the VEB, including a VEB MAC address and capabilities of the VEB, setting a VLAN/MAC filter rule for NC-SI pass-through in the VEB, and configuring an intermediate device within a second communication path between the controller and the VEB for NC-SI pass-through utilizing a management MAC address, enabling NC-SI pass-through of traffic routed between the controller and the VEB.
