A system includes a processor of a first controller of an information handling system. The processor is operable to determine that a change has occurred in a first group, the first group comprising a plurality of nodes governed by a group policy, and in response to determining that a change has occurred in the first group, identify one or more of the plurality of nodes to notify, wherein the one or more nodes are identified based on subscription information stored in a data structure. The processor is further operable to broadcast, by the controller, a notification to each the identified nodes, the notification including information about the change in the first group, and wherein one or more of the identified nodes updates itself based on information included in the change notification and on content of the group policy.

System and method for group-policy-based configuration

A system includes a processor of a first node, which is one of a plurality of nodes governed by a group policy. The processor is operable to transmit, using an interface, a first request to receive information associated with the plurality of nodes and receive, using the interface, sets of configuration information associated with the plurality of nodes after a change has occurred regarding the plurality of nodes. The processor is further operable to compare the sets of configuration information associated with the plurality of nodes to the configuration information associated with the first node and determine a difference. In response, the processor is operable to determine, based on the group policy, to configure the first node. The processor is additionally operable to determine a second node that stores a set of files to configure the first node and configure the first node using the set of files.

A shared infrastructure environment system is provided that includes a capability to notify individual nodes of notifications, events, and alerts. The system receives, via a management fabric, a subscription from an event client module for information associated with a component. The system also receives a component update associated with the component. The system identifies if any event client module operating on any node has subscribed to receive component updates associated with the component, and sends the component update, via the management fabric, to the identified event client modules.
