Claim:
1. A synchronous BMC configuration system for automatically configuring a plurality of baseboard management controllers (BMCs) installed on a plurality of clusters of managed devices, comprising: a master BMC configuration system; and a plurality of clusters of managed devices; wherein each cluster of the plurality of clusters of managed devices comprises a master managed device, and a plurality of slave managed devices, the master managed device and the plurality of slave managed devices are substantially same type of managed devices and have substantially same configuration, each master managed device and the plurality of slave managed devices has a BMC installed for system management, and each cluster of managed devices has one set of BMC configuration information; and wherein the master BMC configuration system is configured to transmit the BMC configuration information for each cluster to each master managed device of each cluster and install a slave BMC configuration system on each master managed device of each cluster of managed devices for configuring the plurality of the slave managed devices of each cluster and for allowing a user to communicate with a slave BMC configuration module constructed in each master managed device of each cluster.
