US 12,587,370 B2 · Identifiers for collective management of groups of information handling systems

Abstract

Systems and methods include an IHS (Information Handling System) that is a member of a computing cluster and that is configured to participate in collective management of the cluster, including generating a unique identifier for collective use and identification of the cluster. Cluster management functions of the IHS are configured to determine when the addition of another IHS as a member of the computing cluster requires an update to a cluster identifier that is used to task the computing cluster. When an update to the cluster identifier is required, the cluster management functions generate an updated cluster identifier that is amalgamation of identifiers of each member of the computing cluster and the updated cluster identity is transmitted to cluster members.

Dependent claims

A first Information Handling System (IHS) that is a member of a compute cluster, the first IHS comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more memory devices coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured with stored computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the processors, cause cluster management functions of the first IHS to:
determine when addition of a second IHS as a member of the compute cluster requires an update to a cluster identifier that is used to task the compute cluster;
when an update to the cluster identifier is required, generate an updated cluster identifier, wherein the generated update to the cluster identifier comprises an amalgamation of identifiers of each member of the compute cluster;
and
transmit the updated cluster identifier to the second IHS.
