Abstract: A remote deployment manager infers a target information handling system state from status information discovered from the target information handling system and applies the inferred target information handling system state to validate actions performed to the target information handling system. A discovery module discovers status information to which an inferred state engine applies state calculation rules to infer a target state without having to rely on tasks performed to the target. An action. validator applies the inferred state to actions requested from a user interface to ensure that only valid actions are communicated to a target information handling system. Valid actions may include remote commands for RAID configuration, capture of an image, deployment of a captured image or preassignment of an image to an undiscovered target information handing system.
