Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosed network resource management system employs a hardware configuration management (HCM) information handling system (IHS) that may couple to a single administered IHS or to multiple administered IHSs via an administrative network. An HCM tool in the HCM IHS may generate, modify and store hardware configuration information, including physical network identifications (PNet IDs), in an HCM database and share the HCM database with the administered IHSs. The administered IHS may be a remote direct memory access (RDMA) enabled network interface controller (RNIC) converging IHS. An RNIC converging tool may extract hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, from the HCM database. The RNIC converging tool may utilize the hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, to enable the RNIC converging IHS to communicate over a network with RDMA protocols.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A converging information handling system (IHS) comprising: a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including a hypervisor that is configured to: receive from another IHS, via a network, a hardware configuration management (HCM) database that includes configuration information including physical network identifier (PNet IDs) entries and respective associated physical adapter type entries and respective associated logical partition (L…
