Abstract
A Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) device component identification information retrieval/provisioning system includes a chassis housing host component(s), device component(s), and a BMC device. The BMC device includes a host management subsystem that is connected to each of the host component(s) via a host communication interface, and a device management subsystem that is connected to the device component(s) via a device communication interface that is not accessible by the host management subsystem. The device management subsystem retrieves device component identification information from each of the device component(s) via the device communication interface, and provides the device component identification information to the host management subsystem. The host management subsystem retrieves host component identification information from each of the host component(s) via the host communication interface, and provides the device component identification information and the host component identification information for management operations.
