Abstract: A method of thermal control in a chassis is presented. An example method of thermal control can include each of one or more blades reporting a requested fan blade speed to a CMC controller where the CMC controller performs an auction of the requested fan blade speed, determines a high value and assigning a corresponding active blade, and reporting the high value to the blades. The active blade then provides fan speed alerts while the passive blades provide fan speed alerts only when the new fan speed request exceeds the high value.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a chassis management controller (CMC) with a service processor, a processing system including a baseboard management controller (BMC) with a service processor, and a chassis management network coupled to the CMC and the BMC. The CMC instantiates a virtual CMC and the BMC instantiates a virtual BMC client. The virtual CMC is coupled to the virtual BMC client by a virtual management network of the chassis management network. The CMC is operable to manage the processing system via the BMC and the virtual CMC is operable to manage the processing system via the virtual BMC client.
