Abstract: A method for remotely triggered reset of a baseboard management controller (BMC) of a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a first computer node and a second computer node. The method includes: (A) receiving, by a first BMC of the first computer node, from a computer device and via a network, a reset command which indicates that reset of a second BMC of the second computer node should be triggered; and (B) transmitting, by the first BMC and to the second BMC via electrical connection between the first and second BMCs, a reset signal that corresponds to the reset command, so as to trigger reset of the second BMC.
