In some aspects, baseboard management controllers (BMCs) may register with an inventory management server (IMS). After registering with the IMS, based on detecting a change in inventory monitored by a BMC, the BMC may transmit a push notification to the IMS to notify the IMS of the change. The IMS may record such information in a database, which may be accessible to a system administrator, to one or more other users or systems, or a combination thereof. For example, the system administrator or other user or system may access the IMS to obtain a listing of registered BMCs and equipment associated with the registered BMCs, to search parts based on one or more filters (such as part serial number, part number, or part location, etc.), or to get lifecycle information related to one or more parts.

Equipment tracking for an information handling system

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.

System and method for secure management of non-registered components of an information handling system using a baseboard management controller

Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for receiving a request for instrumentation data describing one or more devices in the computing environment, the request received from a resource management interface; retrieving the instrumentation data describing the one or more devices from a resource database; identifying a schema associated with the resource management interface; converting the instrumentation data describing the one or more devices based on the identified schema associated with the resource management interface; and transmitting the instrumentation data describing the one or more devices to the resource management interface.
