More Information
Summary:An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the hardware devices. The BMC includes executable code to cause the BMC to receive a message associated with a non-registered hardware device that is not registered to be managed by the BMC in which the message formatted according to a native protocol of the BMC. The code further causes the code to transmit the message to a device plugin associated with the non-registered hardware device in which the device plugin comprises custom instructions that, upon execution by a system processor, cause the IHS to convert the message into a protocol associated with the non-registered hardware device, and forward the converted message to the non-registered hardware device using the protocol of the non-registered hardware device.
