CPC G06F 9/5083 (2013.01) [G06F 9/45541 (2013.01); G06F 9/5077 (2013.01)] | 15 Claims |
1. A system for providing computer implemented services using information handling systems, comprising:
a first information handling system of the information handling systems comprising a system control processor and at least one compute resource set; and
a system control processor manager,
wherein the system control processor is programmed to:
obtain a composition request for a composed information handling system;
make a first determination that the first information handling system is not capable of servicing the composition request; and
based on the first determination:
allocate, an available resource on the first information handling system to the composed information handling system;
sending a resource allocation request to the system control processor manager for access to an additional resource;
obtain, in response to the allocation request, a notification for access to a second information handling system of the information handling systems that provides the available resource;
setup management services for available resource and the additional resource to obtain logical hardware resources; and
present the logical hardware resources to the at least one compute resource set as bare metal resources,
wherein the system control processor manager is programmed to:
initiate communication with the system control processor via a first access control manager,
wherein the first access control manager is a firewall, wherein the firewall only permits the first information handling system to communicate with the system control processor manager until the available resource is allocated to the composed information handling system;
after initiating communication with the system control processor:
send a resource availability request to the first information handling system;
obtain a resource availability response from the first information handling system, wherein the resource availability response specifies at least a network availability of the first information handling system;
obtain, using at least the resource availability response from the first information handling system, a network connectivity topology.
