1. A method comprising: receiving a configuration change request from a remote user at a local baseboard management controller (BMC) via a network while a processor associated with the BMC is offline; storing the configuration change request in a request log; after the processor comes online, updating configuration data based on the configuration change request stored in the request log; storing a copy of the updated configuration data in a storage device coupled to the BMC such that the copy of the updated configuration data is accessible when the processor is offline; and providing the copy of the updated system configuration to a subsequent remote user for a subsequent system configuration update.
