    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method may comprise establishing, by a boot environment, a secure connection on a special port. An authentication key for the secure connection is preloaded into the boot environment. The method may comprise verifying, by the admin node, that the new node is marked for installation and transmitting, by the admin node, a secure key to the new node over the secure connection. The method may comprise requesting, by the boot environment, a secure bundle from the admin node, the secure bundle corresponding to the new node. The method may comprise decrypting, by the boot environment, the secure bundle using the secure key and requesting, by the boot environment, an installation image for the new node. The secure bundle contains secure information that is not included in the installation image.

    Abstract: A high performance (HPC) system is described. The system includes a plurality of compute nodes, each comprising a network interface having a first media access control (MAC) address and a management controller having a second MAC address, a plurality of switches, coupled to the plurality of compute nodes, each including one or more ports and a head node, communicatively coupled to the plurality of switches, comprising one or more processors to discover a first of the plurality of compute nodes, including facilitating installation of a boot file at the first compute node, initiate a boot operation at the first compute node using the boot file, harvesting switch port locations from the plurality of switches and detecting a location of the first compute node within the network based on determining one or more switch port locations associated with the first MAC address of the first compute node.
