    摘要: An information handling system may include a management controller and a chassis having mounted therein at least one add-in card. The management controller may be configured to: retrieve connection information from the add-in card, the connection information indicating a physical location of the add-in card within the chassis; compare the connection information with expected connection information associated with the information handling system; determine that the physical location of the add-in card within the chassis is in conflict with a restriction associated with the add-in card; and transmit an error message based on the determining.

    摘要: A disclosed touchless provisioning method configures a baseboard management controller (BMC) of a bare metal server to include or support two or more network services for retrieving a configuration profile locator (CPL) identifying a network-accessible configuration file containing a server configuration profile (SCP). At least one of the network services may be invoked to retrieve the CPL and pass the CPL to a provisioning agent process configured to access the configuration file and configure the system in accordance with the SCP. The server may require a static IP address and the two or more network services may include at least one network service, such as a multicast domain name service (mDNS), suitable for use in conjunction with a static IP address system and at least one network service, such as a DHCP service, suitable for use in conjunction with servers that do not require a static IP address.

    摘要: An information handling system may include a management controller and information handling resources that are coupled to the management controller via a first communication channel and a second communication channel, each information handling resource having a first communication channel identifier, and each information handling resource having a second communication channel identifier. The management controller may query the information handling resources via the first communication channel to determine a first set of unique identifiers for the information handling resources; query the information handling resources via the second communication channel to determine a second set of unique identifiers for the information handling resources; and based on a comparison between the first set of unique identifiers and the second set of unique identifiers, create a mapping that correlates the first communication channel identifiers with the second communication channel identifiers.
