Abstract: A computer system includes a BMC and a host of the BMC. The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on an existing out-of-band management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service running on the host, the host being a storage device. The storage service provides access to user data stored on one or more storage devices connected to the host via a storage network that is isolated from the management network. When the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service: the BMC extracts a service command from the first message; the BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel to the host, a second message containing the service command to the host. The BMC communication channel has been established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host.

Abstract: Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for device or vendor independent network switch management on a management controller. The management controller is communicatively connected to a network switch through a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface. The management controller receives parsed information of a management information base (MIB) file corresponding to the network switch, and establishes a communication between the management controller and the network switch through the SNMP interface based on the parsed information of the MIB file, in which the management controller functions as a client and the network switch functions as a server of the communication. Then the management controller receives an input to manage and configure the network switch, and manages and configures the network switch via the communication through the SNMP interface based on the input and the parsed information of the MIB file.
