Associating data buses and management bus connections for peripheral devices

Abstract

An apparatus, system, method, and program product are disclosed for associating data buses and management buses for peripheral devices. A command module sends a command to a peripheral device to trigger activity on the peripheral device. The peripheral device is communicatively coupled to an information handling device using a separate data bus and a management bus connection of a management bus. The command is sent over the data bus to the peripheral device. A monitor module checks the management bus of the information handling device to determine which management bus connection is connected to the peripheral device that was active in response to the sent command. An association module associates the determined management bus connection with the data bus on which the command was sent and with the peripheral device.
