  • HYPER-CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKING CONFIGURATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210111951
    Abstract: A Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) networking configuration system includes HCI node subsystems with different configuration requirements, and a networking subsystem coupled HCI node subsystems via respective port(s). The networking subsystem identifies each of the HCI node subsystems and, based on that determine, based on those identifications, determines respective different configuration requirements for each of the HCI node subsystems. Based on those respective configuration requirements, the networking subsystem generates a networking subsystem configuration, and applies the networking subsystem configuration to the networking subsystem such that each of its respective ports coupled to the HCI node subsystems is configured to provide communication between the networking subsystem and that HCI node subsystem.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NON-DISRUPTIVE HOST REPURPOSING
    Publication number: 20200241858
    Abstract: A method and system for non-disruptive host repurposing. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail the re-optimization of datacenter hosts (e.g., servers) for any infrastructure and/or workload deployment. Different infrastructure and/or workload deployments may require the tuning of various memory parameters (or attributes) in the basic input-output system (BIOS) configuration. Presently, the repurposing of any given host demands the full reset of the system configuration—i.e., a disruptive process—prior to implementing the necessary BIOS configuration changes. In contrast, the method and system disclosed herein facilitate the repurposing of a host through the installation and/or uninstallation of configuration overlays—a modular approach to interchanging infrastructure and/or workload deployments—without the disruption of full system resets.
