Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a primary BMC. The primary BMC determines one or more management endpoints that are to be managed by the primary BMC. The primary BMC manages a host and each of the management endpoints manages a respective device serving the host. The primary BMC determines a mapping of communication interfaces between the primary BMC and the one or more management endpoints. The primary BMC determines, based on the mapping, a first communication interface between a first management endpoint and the primary BMC. The primary BMC collects, from the first management endpoint, device operational data of a first device managed by the first management endpoint.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for remotely configuring multi-mode dual in-line memory modules (“multi-mode DIMMs”) using a firmware or a baseboard management controller (“BMC”). Technologies are also described for simultaneously initiating multiple commands for configuring multi-mode DIMMs using a BMC and for updating inventory data regarding multi-mode DIMMs stored by a BMC.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a pod manager. The pod manager receives receive a request for composing a target composed-node. The pod manager employs a first set of pooled hardware resources of the computing pod to build the target composed-node. The pod manager determines to reserve a second set of pooled hardware resources of the computing pod for a backup node of the target composed-node. The pod manager determines that the target composed-node has failed. The pod manager employs the second set of pooled hardware resources to build the backup node.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a pod manager. The pod manager collects resource information of a computing rack having one or more chassis, the resource information including power zone information and thermal zone information of each of the one or more chassis. The pod manager receives a request for composing a target composed-node. The pod manager further selects hardware resources of a first chassis to compose the target composed-node based on power zone information and thermal zone information of the one or more chassis. The pod manager composes the target composed-node with the selected hardware resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using general software to control an internet of things (IOT) system with a virtual baseboard management controller (BMC). The system includes a cloud network server provided on a cloud network. When the cloud network server receive a gateway registration request from an IOT gateway device communicatively connected to multiple IOT devices, the cloud network server provides a virtual BMC, and registers the IOT gateway device to the virtual BMC. The virtual BMC may then allow an IOT software to register to the virtual BMC, thus enabling the IOT software to access the IOT gateway device and the IOT devices via the virtual BMC. The virtual BMC may send information to the IOT gateway device registered to the virtual BMC by a push technology. The IOT gateway device and the IOT software may respectively communicate with the virtual BMC using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) messages.
