Abstract
A method is provided for facilitating access by an external user to the internal registers of a server including: transmitting access commands originating from the external user to a service processor using a communication protocol directly understandable by the service processor which accesses the internal registers using one or more access protocols, automatically transforming command lines issued by the user into access commands in the communication protocol using one or more service modules which associate at least the corresponding addresses of the internal registers with the names of the internal registers supplied by the external user. On the occasion of a user-commanded access by the service processor to the internal registers, the service processor is responsible for managing a possible risk of collision with a monitoring access to the internal registers for the purposes of updating a copy of the status of the internal registers.
