Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for communicating metric data between a plurality of management controllers for sleds via an out-of-band (OOB) network, the sleds comprising physical resources and the metric data to indicate one or more metrics for the physical resources. Embodiments may also include determining a physical resource of the physical resources to perform a task based at least in part on the one or more metrics, and causing the task to be performed by the physical resources.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- a pod management controller coupled with sleds via an out-of-band (OOB) network, the pod management controller to:
- receive metric data from a plurality of management controllers for the sleds via the OOB network, the sleds comprising physical resources and the metric data to indicate one or more metrics for the physical resources;
- determine a physical resource of the physical resources to perform a task based on the one or more metrics;
- and
- send the task to be performed by the physical resource of one of the sleds.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions, that when executed, enable processing circuitry to:
- receive, by a pod management controller, metric data from a plurality of management controllers for sleds via an out-of-band (OOB) network, the sleds comprising physical resources and the metric data to indicate one or more metrics for the physical resources;
- determine, by the pod management controller, a physical resource of the physical resources to perform a task based at least in part on the one or more metrics;
- and
- send, by the pod management controller, the task to be performed by the physical resource of one of the sleds.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a management controller of a sled coupled with a pod management controller via an out-of-band (OOB) link, the management controller to:
- determine metric data for one or more physical resources of the sled, the metric data to indicate one or more metrics for the one or more physical resources;
- send the metric data to a pod management controller via the OOB link;
- and
- receive a task to be processed by at least one of the one or more physical resources of the sled.
