ABSTRACT:
An information management system is disclosed and can include a server chassis having a chassis control panel. The chassis control panel can include a real time clock. Further, the system can include a chassis management controller connected to the chassis control panel. The chassis management controller can include logic to determine whether the chassis management controller is active and logic to read a time from the real time clock when the chassis management controller is active. The system can also include a chassis device removably engaged with the server chassis. The chassis device can include logic to load a time protocol client when the chassis device boots before chassis device is fully booted and to retrieve the time from the time protocol server within the chassis management controller. Accordingly, the chassis device can detect when an event occurs and time stamp the event before the chassis device fully boots.
