Claim 3:
4. An information handling system, comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU); and
a computer readable memory, accessible to the CPU, including executable instructions that, when executed by the CPU, cause the system to perform operations including:
sending configuration data and a timeout value from a resource manager to a plurality of managed resources within a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster;
performing network configuration operations including:
setting a network configuration of the resource manager in accordance with resource manager network configuration information included in the configuration data; and

for each managed resource of the plurality of managed resources, setting a network configuration of the managed resource in accordance with managed resource network configuration information included in the configuration data and starting a timer having the timeout value;
responsive to detecting each managed resource of the plurality of managed resources successfully setting its network configuration, sending a stop timer command to each of the plurality of managed resources; and
responsive to any managed resource of the plurality of managed resources detecting a timeout of the timer, restoring, by the managed resource, its network configuration to a previous configuration, restoring by the resource manager, its network configuration to a previous configuration, and withholding, by the resource manager, the stop timer command wherein the network configuration of the resource manager and each managed resource is restored to a previous value if any of the managed resources detects a timeout.
