Abstract
Devices, media, systems, and methods provide remote maintenance of a managed computer system through a remote computer. The remote computer is accessed by a CPU in the managed computer system as though it were a local IDE controller attached to a local IDE device. A peripheral device distinct from the CPU provides a set of virtual IDE device registers and an IDE controller to the CPU. The peripheral device receives data written to the set of virtual IDE device registers, and it transmits the data into a network, addressed for reception by the remote computer. The remote computer receives the data, interprets it, and performs operations upon a mirror set of device data. The remote computer then transmits its response across the network to the peripheral device. The peripheral device communicates the response to the CPU in a fashion identical to a physical IDE controller attached to a physical IDE device.
