An information handling system may include at least one processor; and a storage resource having an element manager stored thereon. The information handling system may be configured to: establish, via the element manager, an information handling system cluster, wherein the information handling system cluster includes the information handling system as a first node and at least one other information handling system as a second node; configure the first node and the second node to communicatively couple to a storage array via a network and use the storage array as a primary storage volume for the information handling system cluster; and migrate the element manager to execute from the storage array.

Dynamic node cluster with storage array

An information handling system may include a host system including a host network interface; and a management controller including a management network interface, the management controller being configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive, via the management network interface, network configuration information for the host network interface; and provide access to the network configuration information via an application programming interface (API). The host system may be configured to: poll the API of the management controller at selected times until the management controller provides access to the network configuration information; retrieve the network configuration information via the API; and configure the host network interface in accordance with the network configuration information.

Configuring HCI management network via management controller

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 execute a configuration procedure to set up a plurality of information handling resources of the information handling system, and wherein the configuration procedure includes a plurality of logical groups related to different types of configuration. Each logical group may include one or more atomic groups, each atomic group including a plurality of logically related atomic operations. In response to a failure of a particular atomic operation of a particular atomic group, the information handling system may be configured to roll back the particular atomic operation and allow the configuration procedure to be restarted at a beginning of the particular atomic group.
