Abstract
A management server exposes a web services interface through which managed clients that are not equipped with baseboard management controllers ('BMCs') can submit management data at boot time. The firmware of the managed clients can receive management commands from the management server during boot time. The management server can also expose a web services interface to management clients through which the management clients can obtain the management data provided by the managed clients as if the management data were being provided through a BMC. The management server can also receive management commands from the management client computers for performance at the managed client computers. The management server queues the management commands for provision to the appropriate managed clients during the next boot of the managed clients.
