Abstract
A method of setting up a cloud cluster is disclosed as providing at least one compute node with a baseboard management controller (BMC), the BMC of the compute node receiving secured information and using the secured information to establish communication with a cloud controller. Upon establishing the communication, the compute node then receives a cloud operating system (OS) image from the cloud controller via the BMC of the compute node. Finally, the cloud OS image is written to a host system in the compute node. A compute node is also disclosed.
Claims19
A method of setting up a cloud cluster, including:
- receiving secured information by a baseboard management controller (BMC) of a compute node, wherein the secured information is generated by a cloud controller, and wherein the BMC uses the secured information to establish communication with the cloud controller;
- upon the establishment of the communication between the BMC and the cloud controller, receiving, by the compute node, a cloud operating system (OS) image via the BMC from the cloud controller;
- and
- writing the cloud OS image to a host system in the compute node.
A compute node including:
- a baseboard management controller (BMC), and
- a host system,
- wherein the BMC is configured to receive secured information and to use the secured information to establish communication with a cloud controller,
- wherein the compute node is configured, upon establishment of the communication between the BMC and the cloud controller, to receive a cloud operating system (OS) image via the BMC from the cloud controller, and
- wherein the host system is configured to be written with the cloud OS image.
