摘要： An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive information regarding equipment that is to be communicatively coupled to a data network; determine a topology for communicatively coupling the equipment to the data network, wherein the topology includes information regarding which equipment ports of the equipment are to be coupled to data network ports of the data network;
and transmit information regarding the topology to a user.

摘要： A disclosed method may assign, with a DHCP module, two static IP addresses to each of one or more hyper-converged infrastructures nodes. The two static IP addresses may include an out of band IP address for a baseboard management controller (BMC) network interface to an OOB management network and an internal management IP address for a network interface associated with an internal management network. Disclosed methods may then access, for each of the one or more nodes, a BMC at the OOB IP address, to invoke a BMC tool to retrieve cluster configuration information for each node. A dashboard user interface may then be generated, based on the configuration retrieved for each node, and displayed. The cluster configuration information may indicate whether the node is a cluster node, comprising a node assigned to a cluster, or a free node, comprising a node not assigned to a cluster.

摘要： An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to perform a maintenance operation involving a plurality of hosts of an information handling system cluster by: determining a score for each host based on a sum of working memory sizes for all active virtual machines executing on such host plus a sum of persistent storage sizes for all virtual machines stored on such host; based on the determined scores, selecting a first host for upgrading; migrating at least a portion of all virtual machines stored on the first host from the first host to one or more other hosts; and causing the first host to perform the maintenance operation.

摘要： An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one processor. The information handling system may be configured to manage an upgrade of a cluster of N host systems by: receiving an indication of a number M of host systems of the cluster that are needed to satisfy an operational requirement of the cluster; removing N-M of the host systems from the cluster; causing the removed host systems to be upgraded in parallel; and adding at least one of the removed host systems back to the cluster after the at least one of the removed host systems has completed the upgrade.
