Abstract
Support is provided for remote monitoring and management of non-standard devices of an IHS (Information Handling System) that are not supported by a remote management interface, such as the Redfish management interface. The IHS may be configured for remote management of a non-standard device as part of the manufacture of the IHS. Software for management of the non-standard device is validated against a checksum stored to the IHS during its manufacture to confirm the software for managing the non-standard device has not been altered. If the software is validated, the software is used to initialize a plugin for management of the non-standard device. Data collected by the plugin from monitoring of the non-standard device is provided to a remote access controller of the IHS and the remote access controller issues commands to the non-standard device via the plugin.
