System and method for secure management of a rack

A controller comprising:

• a machine readable medium storing program instructions;
• and
• a processing resource operably coupled to the machine readable medium, wherein the processing resource executes the program instructions to:
• generate a first unique identifier corresponding to a rack profile of a rack hosting a plurality of rack devices comprising physical devices and logical devices, in accordance with a rack topology, wherein the rack profile is based on configuration of the physical devices, the logical devices, and the rack topology;
• receive information corresponding to the rack profile of the rack from a plurality of peripheral devices disposed in the rack, wherein the information is based on monitored condition of the physical devices, the logical devices, and the rack topology;
• generate a second unique identifier based on the information corresponding to the rack profile;
• determine variation in the rack profile based on comparison of the first and second unique identifiers;
• and
• generate an alert signal in the rack, in response to determination of the variation in the rack profile.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource in a controller, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to generate a first unique identifier corresponding to a rack profile of a rack hosting a plurality of rack devices comprising physical devices and logical devices, in accordance with a rack topology, wherein the rack profile is based on configuration of the physical devices, the logical devices, and the rack topology;
• instructions to receive information corresponding to the rack profile of the rack from a plurality of peripheral devices disposed in the rack, wherein the information is based on monitored condition of the physical devices, the logical devices, and the rack topology;
• instructions to generate a second unique identifier based on the information corresponding to the rack profile;
• instructions to determine variation in the rack profile based on comparison of the first and second unique identifiers;
• and
• instructions to generate an alert signal in the rack, in response to determination of the variation in the rack profile.
