Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC receives a first message from a first remote device on a management network. The BMC determines whether the first message is directed to a storage service or fabric service running on a host of the BMC. The host is a storage device. The BMC extracts a service management command from the first message, when the first message is directed to the storage service or fabric service. The BMC sends, through a BMC communication channel to the host, a second message containing the service management command to the host. The BMC communication channel established for communicating baseboard management commands between the BMC and the host.
