Abstract
A system, method and computer program which enables the reception of chassis status by a remote management console from different types of computers servers having different implementations of intelligent platform management interface (IPMI). This system, method and computer program utilizes a platform instrumentation control GUI located in the console to request chassis status and receive chassis from the server. Further, a component instrumentation module located in the server is used to receive the chassis status request from the console and retrieve the chassis status from platform management hardware located in the sever.
