Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for automated standalone bootstrapping of hardware inventory that includes a provisioning workflow of discovering, validating, and configuring hardware inventory. In an exemplary embodiment, an in-rack computing device, such as a chassis manager or selected blade, initializes an intra-rack communication network with a hardware inventory of the rack. The in-rack computing device initiates intra-rack communication with the hardware inventory in the rack, using the intra-rack communication network, to discover at least a set of computing units in a hardware inventory. Intra-rack communications that include traffic received from the set of computing units. The in-rack computing device validates operational configurations of the hardware inventory based on comparing expected operational configuration parameters with actual operational configuration parameters, at least a portion of the operational configuration parameters retrieved from the information carried within the traffic received from the set of computing units.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method for standalone bootstrapping hardware inventory in racks, the method comprising:\n initializing, using an in-rack computing device, an intra-rack communication network with a hardware inventory in a rack; initiating, in the intra-rack communication network, communication between the in-rack computing device and the hardware inventory in the rack to discover the hardware inventory in the rack, wherein intra-rack communication comprises traffic received from a set of computing units; and validating operational configurations of the hardware inventory based on comparing expected operational configuration parameters with actual operational configuration parameters of the hardware inventory determined based at least in part on the traffic received from the set of computing unit.
