Abstract
A first server includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that a server is present that has not had settings other than at most default settings applied to a basic input output system (BIOS) executable by the server to boot the server. The instructions are also executable by the processor to, based at least in part on a determination that the server is the same model of server as the apparatus, has the same BIOS version as the apparatus, and/or has the same baseboard management controller (BMC) version as the apparatus, facilitate over a peer to peer server network at least some settings in the apparatus to be provisioned to the server to establish the at least some settings in the server.
