Abstract: A system and method for management of heterogeneous bare metal servers is disclosed. The system includes target bare metal servers coupled to a network and an administrative server. The administrative server executes a framework for managing the bare metal servers. The framework includes unified APIs for performance of management functions. A recognition engine receives identification information from the server and selects a driver from a driver library based on the identification information. Each of the drivers in the driver library is associated with a different type of bare metal server. A driver loader loads the selected driver to translate the unified APIs to native APIs on the bare metal server to perform the management function on the server.
