Claim Text:
1. A system configured to monitor hardware components of a computer system, the system comprising a processor and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions for generating, by a software module executing on the system, an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) request configured for a controller of the monitored computer system; transmitting, by the software module, the IPMI request to a virtual IPMI server instead of the controller, wherein the virtual IPMI server is configured to act as a virtual controller for the monitored computer system to, based on the IPMI request, simulate an operating condition of a hardware component of the monitored computer system; and receiving, by the software module, an IPMI response from the virtual IPMI server, wherein the IPMI response is based on the simulated operating condition of the hardware component of the monitored computer system at the virtual IPMI server, thereby obviating a manual adjustment of the hardware component on the monitored computer system.
