ABSTRACT:
A chassis is selected from one or more chassis. Each chassis has one or more computing devices installed therein. A computing device is selected from the computing devices installed in the selected chassis. Each computing device is connected to one or more switches within the chassis. A switch is selected from the switches to which the selected computing device is connected. Each switch is connected to a storage-area network (SAN) encompassing one or more SAN storage devices. A SAN storage device is selected from the SAN storage devices connected to the selected switch. Network settings for the SAN storage device and/or the computing device are configured, including dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) settings for the computing device. The SAN storage device is configured for use by the computing device. An operating system (OS) instance is selected and deployed onto the SAN storage device for use by the computing device.
