Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to a method for composition for complex solutions. The method may include receiving, by a system control processor manager, a composition request to compose a composed information handling system, the request comprising a solution manifest file; parsing, by the system control processor manager, the solution manifest file to identify a solution requirement set; performing, using the solution requirement set, an analysis of a telemetry data map and a topology and connectivity graph; making a determination, based on the analysis, that the composition request may be satisfied using resources represented in the topology and connectivity graph; and composing the composed information handling system based on the determination.

Claims (36)

1. A method for composition for complex solutions, the method comprising:

receiving, by a system control processor manager, a composition request to compose a composed information handling system, the request comprising a solution manifest file;

parsing, by the system control processor manager, the solution manifest file to identify a solution requirement set;

performing, using the solution requirement set, an analysis of a telemetry data map and a topology and connectivity graph to discover a compute resource and target resource pair, wherein the target resource comprises a memory device;

making a first determination, based on the analysis, that a valid path exists between the compute resource and the target resource pair;

making a second determination, based on the analysis and in response to the first determination, that the composition request is satisfiable using resources represented in the topology and connectivity graph; and

composing the composed information handling system based on the second determination by presenting the target resource to the compute resource as a bare metal resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises a plurality of property requirements associated with compute resources required by the solution manifest file.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises a plurality of connection requirements between compute resources and target resources required by the solution manifest file.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises fault domain requirements.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the analysis is based at least in part on the property requirements, the connection requirements, and the fault domain requirements.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compute resource and target resource pair is added to a candidate list, and wherein the candidate list is used during a second analysis to determine that fault domain requirements of the solution manifest file can be met.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for composition for complex solutions, the method comprising:

receiving, by a system control processor manager, a composition request to compose a composed information handling system, the request comprising a solution manifest file;

parsing, by the system control processor manager, the solution manifest file to identify a solution requirement set;

performing, using the solution requirement set, an analysis of a telemetry data map and a topology and connectivity graph to discover a compute resource and target resource pair, wherein the target resource comprises a memory device;

making a first determination, based on the analysis, that a valid path exists between the compute resource and the target resource pair;

making a second determination, based on the analysis and in response to the first determination, that the composition request is satisfiable using resources represented in the topology and connectivity graph; and

composing the composed information handling system based on the second determination by presenting the target resource to the compute resource as a bare metal resource.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises a plurality of property requirements associated with compute resources required by the solution manifest file.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises a plurality of connection requirements between compute resources and target resources required by the solution manifest file.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises fault domain requirements.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the analysis is based at least in part on the property requirements, the connection requirements, and the fault domain requirements.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the compute resource and target resource pair is added to a candidate list, and wherein the candidate list is used during a second analysis to determine that fault domain requirements of the solution manifest file can be met.

13. A system for composition for complex solutions, the system comprising:

a system control processor manager, executing on a processor comprising circuitry, and configured to:

receive a composition request to compose a composed information handling system, the request comprising a solution manifest file;

parse the solution manifest file to identify a solution requirement set;

perform, using the solution requirement set, an analysis of a telemetry data map and a topology and connectivity graph to discover a compute resource and target resource pair, wherein the target resource comprises a memory device;

make a first determination, based on the analysis, that a valid path exists between the compute resource and the target resource pair;

make a second determination, based on the analysis and in response to the first determination, that the composition request is satisfiable satisfied using resources represented in the topology and connectivity graph; and

compose the composed information handling system based on the second determination by presenting the target resource to the compute resource as a bare metal resource.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises a plurality of property requirements associated with compute resources required by the solution manifest file, and a plurality of connection requirements between compute resources and target resources required by the solution manifest file.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the solution requirement set comprises fault domain requirements.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the analysis is based at least in part on the property requirements, the connection requirements, and the fault domain requirements.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the compute resource and target resource pair is added to a candidate list, and wherein the candidate list is used during a second analysis to determine that fault domain requirements of the solution manifest file can be met.
