An information handling system may include a processor, a data processing unit communicatively coupled to the processor, and a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and the data processing unit and configured for out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may further be configured to obtain a hardware inventory and capabilities of the data processing unit; based on the hardware inventory and capabilities, generate a firmware capsule for execution during a basic input/output system phase of the data processing unit to cause a secure erasure of contents of a memory of the data processing unit; and communicate the firmware capsule to the data processing unit during an operating system phase of the data processing unit and cause the data processing unit to reboot to its basic input/output system phase in order to execute drivers of the firmware capsule in order to securely erase the memory.

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.

An information handling system includes a network interface device configured to provide indications of faults on the network interface device, a baseboard management controller agent configured to receive the indications, and a baseboard management controller coupled to a management system. The management system mitigates the faults on the network interface device. The network interface device further detects a fault on the network interface device and provides an indication to the baseboard management controller agent in response to detecting the fault. The baseboard management controller agent further receives the indication from the network interface device, receives an identification of the management system from the baseboard management controller, and provides a second indication to the management system based upon the identification.
