System and Method to Replicate Server Configurations Across Systems Using Sticky Attributions

摘要

An information handling system includes a memory to store a configuration file, a provisioning server, and a server. The provisioning server detects a new server within the information handling system, and provides the configuration file new server. The server includes a controller to communication with the provisioning server, the controller to receive the configuration file from the provisioning server, to resolve a sticky attribute in the configuration file based on a type of the sticky attribute, to update the configuration file in response to resolving the sticky attribute, and to apply the updated configuration file to the server to configure components within the server.

1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a provisioning server, a server within an information handling system; associating a configuration file with a controller of the server; providing the configuration file to the controller; resolving, by the controller, a sticky attribute in the configuration file based on a type of the sticky attribute; updating the configuration file in response to resolving the sticky attribute to create a first updated configuration file; and applying the first updated configuration file to the server to configure components within the server.
