Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for collective management of a computing cluster. Cluster management functions are implemented by a first IHS (Information Handling System) that is a member of the computing cluster. An indication is received of a second IHS that is added to the computing cluster. The identity of the second IHS is validated and cluster management functions determine when the addition of the second IHS to 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, an updated cluster identifier is generated. Based on the validated identity of the second IHS, a secure communication channel is established for transmission of the updated cluster identifier to the second IHS.
