The chassis management controller may also, responsive to determining that one or more other chassis management controllers are communicatively coupled to the private management network fabric, alone or in concert with the one or more other chassis management controllers, elect an active chassis management controller from a plurality of chassis management controllers comprising the chassis management controller and the one or more other chassis management controllers.
