Abstract:
A server system may include a baseboard management controller and a host system. The baseboard management controller may obtain an identification of a peer system over a management network connection. The baseboard management controller may provide the identification of the peer system to the host system. The host system may use the identification of the peer system to obtain a virtual machine image.
Abstract:
An example managed server system (102) includes a managed server (104), a baseband management controller (BMC) (108), and a shared memory (106). An example configuration process (200) includes transmitting (201), by the BMC, a network-address request over an out-of-band network; receiving (202) received configuration information; writing (203), by the BMC, stored configuration information to the shared memory; accessing (204), by the managed server, the shared memory to read the stored configuration information; and configuring (205) the managed server using the stored configuration information.
