ABSTRACT:
A data processing system in which standard communication resource facilities are used to enable direct communication to a system management facility. In one implementation, the management adapter shares a communication resource, such as a serial port, with the host system. An arrangement of multiplexers is capable of connecting the local system to the shared resource, the management adapter to the shared resource, or the host system to directly to the management adapter. The host system includes a device driver for the shared resource. The shared resource device driver is leveraged to communicate to the management adapter using a standardized serial protocol (in the case of a shared serial port) when the multiplexers connect the system to the management adapter.
