Abstract
A technique of managing message between chassis includes forming a first message by a computing node in a first chassis. The first message complies with a first communications protocol and provides an instruction directed to a controller in a second chassis to manage one or more hardware functions of the second chassis. The controller operates in accordance with a second communications protocol that is different from the first communications protocol. The technique further includes transmitting both the first message and a set of I/O requests from the first chassis to the second chassis over a communications link configured to carry messages complying with the first communications protocol. The technique further includes converting, in the second chassis, the first message complying with the first communications protocol into a second message complying with the second communications protocol, the second message including the instruction directed to the controller.
