Abstract
Systems and methods include an IHS (Information Handling System) that is a member of a computing cluster and that is configured to participate in collective management of the cluster, including generating a unique identifier for collective use and identification of the cluster. Cluster management functions of the IHS are configured to determine when the addition of another IHS as a member of the computing cluster requires an update to a cluster identifier that is used to task the computing cluster. When an update to the cluster identifier is required, the cluster management functions generate an updated cluster identifier that is amalgamation of identifiers of each member of the computing cluster and the updated cluster identity is transmitted to cluster members.
