Summary:In some examples, a system includes a plurality of electronic devices each comprising a respective management processor and a baseboard management controller (BMC). A management processor of a cluster of management processors is a primary management processor to act as a management controller for the plurality of electronic devices. The management controller interacts with the BMC in a respective electronic device to perform management of the respective electronic device. The cluster of management processors performs failover responsive to a fault of the primary management processor to select another management processor of the cluster of the management processors as the management controller.
