Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the plurality of hardware devices. The BMC includes executable instructions for when a custom BMC firmware stack is executed on the BMC, monitoring a parameter of one or more of the hardware devices of the IHS. The instructions that monitor the parameter are separate and distinct from the instructions of the custom BMC firmware stack. The instructions also controls the BMC to perform one or more operations to remediate an excessive parameter when the parameter exceeds a specified threshold.
