Node configuration assignment using a mobile communication device

A method, comprising:

• for each of a plurality of compute nodes within a network including a management node:
• a mobile communication device assigning a configuration to the compute node by wirelessly transmitting a configuration identifier to the compute node;
• and
• the compute node receiving the configuration identifier from the mobile communication device and providing the configuration identifier to the management node over the network;
• the management node using the configuration identifier to identify configuration data uniquely associated with the configuration identifier;
• the management node sending the identified configuration data to the compute node over the network;
• and
• the compute node receiving the configuration data from the management node and applying the configuration data to achieve the assigned configuration.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• a mobile communication device assigning a configuration to a designated compute node by wirelessly transmitting a configuration identifier to the designated compute node;
• the designated compute node receiving the configuration identifier from the mobile communication device and providing the configuration identifier to a management node accessible over a network;
• the management node using the configuration identifier to identify configuration data uniquely associated with the configuration identifier;
• the management node sending the identified configuration data to the designated compute node over the network;
• and
• the designated compute node receiving the configuration data from the management node and applying the configuration data to achieve the assigned configuration.
