Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for validated transfer of replaceable hardware components within a computing cluster comprised of multiple IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as rack-mounted servers. During factory provisioning of the IHS, a factory-signed inventory certificate is uploaded to each IHS that identifies factory-installed hardware of the IHS. This inventory certificate is used to validate that the detected hardware of the IHS is genuine factory-installed hardware. Upon a successful validation of detected hardware by an IHS, a cluster management console is notified. Based on the notifications of validated hardware by the IHS, the cluster management console identifies replaceable hardware components installed within IHSs that are members of the computing cluster. The cluster management console generates a delta certificate that authorizes operation by the IHS of the replaceable hardware components installed within IHSs that are members of the computing cluster.
