Abstract
An information handling system may include a host system and a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive, from a management console, a request to establish virtual media for the host system; cause the requested virtual media to be mounted as a drive accessible to the host system; receive read requests from the host system for data associated with the mounted drive; and cache data from the virtual media in a local cache such that at least some of the read requests from the host system are serviceable via the local cache instead of via a network request to the management console.
