Abstract
A method and system for providing keyboard, video, and mouse switching includes establishing a basic input/output system (BIOS) agent and an operating system (OS) agent on a server of a plurality of servers. The basic input/output system agent routes input/output data between the server and a remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse over a network during a pre-boot phase of the server. The operating system agent routes input/output data between the server and the remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse over the network during a runtime phase of the server. The basic input/output agent may pass data to the operating system agent to indicate that a communication connection has been established between the server and the remote keyboard, remote video device, and/or remote mouse.
