Abstract:

A technique to adaptively configure components of a converged infrastructure (CI). Component configuration information is collected from and representative of operating storage, compute, and network components of the CI. A pod descriptor is constructed from the collected information. The pod descriptor includes operating storage, compute, and network component configuration definitions for the CI based on the collected component configuration information. A package specification unit is generated based on the component configuration definitions of the pod descriptor. The package specification unit includes tasks that, when executed, automatically inventory, assess, and configure targeted ones of the CI components. The technique executes the tasks in the package specification unit to perform corresponding operations on targeted ones of the CI components.
