Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of provisioning a data processing unit (DPU) management operating system (OS). A management hypervisor installer executed on a host device launches or causes a server component to provide a management operating system (OS) installer image at a particular URI accessible over a network internal to the host device. A baseboard management controller (BMC) transfers the DPU management OS installer image to the DPU device. A volatile memory based virtual disk is created using the DPU management OS installer image. The DPU device is booted to a DPU management OS installer on the volatile memory based virtual disk. The DPU management OS installer installs a DPU management operating system to a nonvolatile memory of the DPU device on reboot of the DPU device.
