Cooperative boot techniques enable sharing of information in an enterprise computing system so as to optimize performance of the system. For example, in an enterprise computing system comprising a management server, one or more server computers, and a storage subsystem, the management server monitors the one or more server computers for a notification that a server computer has started boot operations. The management server determines that a first server computer has started boot operation, and notifies the storage subsystem that a boot-data request is forthcoming from the first server computer. The storage subsystem is notified that the first server computer has started boot operations before the first server computer has completed boot operations so that that the storage subsystem can prepare data likely to be requested in the boot-data request. |
