  • Partitioning nodes in a hyper-converged infrastructure
    Patent number: 10496447
    Abstract: Technology for partitioning nodes based on capabilities in a hyper-converged infrastructure is disclosed. In an example computer system, the system detects connection of a new node element to the computer system. The system assigns the new node element an electronic address in the computer system. The computer system then boots the new node element using a pre-existing bootable image stored at the hyper-converged infrastructure system. The computer system uses a federated control plane to discover the new node element. The federated control plane determines a capability of the new node element. The federated control plane assigns the new node element to a global storage pool.
