A method for providing a virtualization system includes receiving a plurality of virtualization system requirements from a customer that include a plurality of information handling systems (IHSs), at least one storage, and a plurality of configuration details. A primary IHS and a secondary IHS are designated, and configuration data, an application interface, and a primary IHS operating system are provided on the primary IHS. Following physical connection of the plurality of the IHSs and in response to activation of the primary IHS, a primary IHS first boot process initiates the application interface that then automatically activates the secondary IHS and uses the configuration data to automatically configure the at least one storage. In response to activation of the secondary IHS, a secondary IHS operating system on the secondary IHS initiates a secondary IHS first boot process that automatically configures virtualization software installed on the secondary IHS. |

1. A virtualization provider system, comprising:
a communication system; a processing system coupled to the communication system; and a non-transitory memory system coupled to the processing system and including instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to:
receive a plurality of virtualization system requirements through the communication system from a customer, wherein the plurality of virtualization system requirements comprise a plurality of information handling system (IHS) requirements, at least one storage requirement, and a plurality of configuration details;designate a primary IHS and at least one secondary IHS from the plurality of IHS requirements, and at least one storage from the at least one storage requirement;provide configuration data related to the plurality of configuration details, an application interface, and a primary IHS operating system on the primary IHS such that, following receipt of the primary IHS, the at least one secondary IHS, and the at least one storage by the customer and the physical connection of the primary IHS, the at least one secondary IHS, and the at least one storage together by the customer subsequent to the receipt, and in response to powering on of the primary IHS by the customer subsequent to the physical connection of the primary IHS, the at least one secondary IHS, and the at least one storage, a primary IHS first boot process on the primary IHS operating system is configured to automatically initiate the application interface and, in response, the application interface is configured to automatically power on the at least one secondary IHS and use the configuration data to automatically configure the at least one storage by automatically creating at least one storage element; andinstall, prior to the receipt by the customer, virtualization software and a secondary IHS operating system on the at least one secondary IHS, wherein the secondary IHS operating system comprises a secondary IHS first boot process that is configured, in response to powering on of the at least one secondary IHS by the primary IHS, to automatically configure the virtualization software by automatically creating at least one virtual machine element and automatically associating the at least one virtual machine element with the at least one storage element. |
