Abstract
A BMC-based time management system includes a host system and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC implements a BMC time manager to perform time management and synchronization operations including receiving, from a time source, time information such as a timestamp corresponding to a particular time, e.g., year, month, day, hour, second, and milliseconds, sometimes referred to herein as an initial time. The BMC manager maintains, in accordance with the initial time, a BMC-determined time, referred to herein as the master time. The BMC time manager synchronizes one or more host system time values, also referred to herein as subordinate time values, in accordance with the master time. The one or more subordinate time parameters may include a host OS time, and one or more host device times. In this manner, the BMC maintains the master time and synchronizes host system time values.
