Abstract
An automated device discovery system includes a first computing device and second computing devices that are included in a trust domain. The first computing device generates and broadcasts a discovery request for target computing device identification information. Each of a first subset of the second computing devices receives the discovery request from the first computing device and, in response to being in the trust domain with the first computing device, determines that a target computing device type qualifier included in the discovery request identifies a type of that second computing device. In response, each of the first subset of second computing devices executes a command block that is included in the discovery request to generate and transmit identity information for that second computing device that is configured for use by the first computing device in configuring that second computing device to provide a hyper-converged infrastructure system.
