Abstract

A system for chassis management includes a plurality of motherboards of a chassis, a plurality of baseboard management controllers (BMCs), and at least one chassis level component. Each of the plurality of BMCs is associated with one of the plurality of motherboards. The plurality of BMCs are interconnected via a first communication bus. The plurality of BMCs and the at least one chassis level component are interconnected via a second communication bus. One BMC of the plurality of BMCs is configured to operate as a virtual chassis management controller (VCMC) for the chassis. The VCMC is configured to exchange data with other BMCs of the plurality of BMCs over the first communication bus and manage the at least one chassis level component over the second communication bus.
