Abstract
A replacement node replaces a failed node and a baseboard management controller (BMC) for the replacement node generates a nonce code that is accessible to an authenticated user. An edge management node receives the nonce code from the user and sends a maintenance token to a BMC of a peer node in an edge cluster, wherein the peer nodes BMCs within the cluster are in a BMC federation that included the failed node BMC and have access to a BMC configuration for the failed node. The management node sends the token and the nonce code to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the token. The peer node BMC sends the token received from the management node to the replacement node BMC for authentication of the peer node BMC. The authenticated peer node BMC may then deploy the BMC configuration to the replacement node BMC.
