Abstract
A method may include, in an information handling system comprising a processor and a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide management of the information handling system, executing by the management controller a management application for management of one or more storage resources of the information handling system, determining by the management controller whether one or more processor-attached storage resources are present in the information handling system, wherein the one or more processor-attached storage resources are coupled to the processor by other than a backplane of the information handling system, and responsive to determining that one or more processor-attached storage resources are present, executing by the management controller an adaptable virtual backplane that emulates a physical backplane to the management application as if the physical backplane were interfaced between the management application and the processor-attached storage resources.
