Systems And Methods For Infrastructure Template Provisioning In Modular Chassis Systems

摘要

Systems and methods for provisioning the infrastructure of modular information handling systems, such as modular blade server chassis systems, using one or more pre-defined templates. IT service templates may be initially loaded and present in local memory or storage of a modular information handling system to define the system infrastructure configuration that ship with the modular chassis platform, or may be later downloaded or otherwise received in local memory or storage later from an external source after system installation to specify the desired end-state of the system infrastructure configuration.

1. A scalable information handling chassis system having chassis information technology (IT) resources, the chassis system comprising at least one local processing device configured to:
query an inventory of at least one of actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system, an actual physical connectivity between the actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system, or a combination thereof; then at least one of:
determine if the actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system are capable of implementing at least one IT service of a locally deployed pre-defined IT service template, ordetermine if the actual physical connectivity between the actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system is capable of fulfilling the required physical connectivity between the chassis IT resources to implement the at least one IT service of a locally deployed pre-defined IT service template, ora combination thereof; and then provision the infrastructure of the scalable information handling chassis system according to the locally deployed pre-defined IT service template only if at least one of the following conditions exist:
the actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system is determined to be capable of implementing the at least one IT service of the locally deployed pre-defined IT service template, orthe actual physical connectivity between the actual chassis IT resources of the information handling chassis system is capable of fulfilling the required physical connectivity between the chassis IT resources, ora combination thereof; where the locally deployed pre-defined IT service template defines the resource requirements for implementing the at least one IT service on the scalable information handling chassis system, the defined resource requirements comprising at least one of required chassis IT resources, required physical connectivity between chassis IT resources, or a combination thereof.
