Abstract
A management controller of a computing device is identified, the first management controller implemented in hardware of the first computing device and independent of a central processing unit (CPU) of the computing device. The management controller is queried for attributes of the computing device. Data is received from the management controller identifying one or more attributes of the computing device and a device drive is identified for the computing device. Communication is facilitated with the computing device using the device driver. In some instances, an inter-device operation is identified involving the computing device and at least one other computing device. The exchange of messages in the operation can be facilitated, for instance, by translating a message from the computing device for use by the other computing device involved in the operation.
