System settings for an information handling system are updated based on the operating system version of an information handling system that is installed or updated on the information handling system. An operating system template to the version of the operating system is retrieved and staged to a shared memory access/partition accessible by a basic input/output system (BIOS) of information handling system. A system policy enforcer of the BIOS accesses configuration settings from the staged corresponding operating system template and applies the accessed accessing configuration settings to the information handling system.

System and method to update system recommended settings for corresponding operating system version

Method and systems provide automated configuration of replaceable hardware components of a chassis comprising a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems) and a plurality of storage devices that are configured to support demands of a specific computing solution designed for a particular computing task. The IHSs may be computing sleds and the storage devices may be storage sleds, where the sleds are coupled within bays of the chassis. Processes operating on the IHSs monitor for changes to settings related to the first computing solution. A chassis management controller detects updates to the replaceable hardware components that are coupled to the chassis and determines supported settings for detected new hardware components. Parameters for configuring the new hardware components for supporting the first computing solution are selected and used to configure the new hardware components.

Systems and methods for automated field replacement component configuration

Method and systems support configuring components of a chassis comprising a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems). A management controller of the chassis initiates a process for identifying a plurality of hardware and software capabilities of the chassis. Based on the identified capabilities, computing solutions, such as specialized computation and storage functions, supported by the chassis are determined. The computing solutions supported by the capabilities of the chassis are encoded, such as within a set of compatibility bits. Upon detecting updates to the hardware and software capabilities of the chassis, the encoded compatibility bits are used to determine compatibility of the updated capabilities with computing solutions supported by the chassis. The encoded solution compatibility information is transmitted to a solution manager that monitors compliance of multiple chassis within a datacenter and identifies chassis that are compatible with a particular computing solution without querying the individual chassis.

Systems and methods for monitoring and validating server configurations

Configuration drift from a baseline configuration is autonomously resolved. A baseboard management controller may inspect error and/or failure logs to determine system parameters at times of error/failure. The baseboard management controller may compare the system parameters to the baseline configuration. The baseboard management controller may have authority to autonomously change any of the system values to resolve a configuration drift from the baseline configuration.
