1. A system comprising:

  • a plurality of nodes, each node comprising a manageability subsystem and a processor, contained in a domain, to perform node management functions; and

    a system firmware comprising instructions executable by a processing resource running on the nodes, the system firmware providing a virtualized manageability data interface coupled to each manageability subsystem of the plurality nodes, to provide system wide management functions, wherein the virtualized manageability data interface of the system firmware includes instructions for each manageability subsystem of the plurality of nodes to communicate domain specific information to the system firmware, wherein the system firmware coalesce the received information to determine a system wide configuration, translates the system wide configuration into domain specific configurations, wherein each manageability subsystem is configured to receive a domain specific command.
