Abstract
Disclosed are various examples for top-of-rack (TOR) switch replacement in hyper-converged computing environments. A bring-up network configuration is applied to a network switch to install the network switch in a rack. An active workload within the rack is analyzed to identify a workload network configuration for the active workload. The active workload is reassigned to the network switch from a faulty network switch. The network switch is configured based on the workload network configuration for the active workload.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device comprising at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising executable instructions that cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- apply at least one bring-up network configuration to a network switch to install the network switch in a rack;
- analyze an active workload within the rack to identify at least one workload network configuration for the active workload;
- reassign the active workload to the network switch from a faulty network switch;
- and
- configure the network switch based on the at least one workload network configuration for the active workload.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying executable instructions that cause the at least one computing device to at least:
- apply at least one bring-up network configuration to a network switch to install the network switch in a rack;
- analyze an active workload within the rack to identify at least one workload network configuration for the active workload;
- reassign the active workload to the network switch from a faulty network switch;
- and
- configure the network switch based on the at least one workload network configuration for the active workload.
A computer-method performed by instructions executed by at least one computing device, the method comprising:
- applying, by the at least one computing device, at least one bring-up network configuration to a network switch to install the network switch in a rack;
- analyzing, by the at least one computing device, an active workload within the rack to identify at least one workload network configuration for the active workload;
- reassigning, by the at least one computing device, the active workload to the network switch from a faulty network switch;
- and
- configuring, by the at least one computing device, the network switch based on the at least one workload network configuration for the active workload.
