Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a service processor. The service processor monitors events of one or more ACPI compliant devices of a host of the service processor. The service processor maintains device data associated with the one or more ACPI compliant devices based on the events in a data store of the service processor. The service processor emulates an ACPI controller to monitor a communication channel for detecting one or more ACPI commands from the host. The service processor processes the device data in the data store in response to detecting the one or more ACPI commands on the communication channel.
