Abstract
A method for managing information handling systems includes initiating, by a stackable system role (SSR) manager of an information handling system of the set of information handling systems, a boot sequence, making a first determination that the boot sequence does not specify a SSR of the information handling system, based on the first determination: performing a hardware evaluation to identify available hardware resources of the information handling system, obtaining a hardware resource inventory based on the available resources, applying a hardware resource function to the hardware resource inventory to determine a SSR for the information handling system, and continuing the boot sequence using the SSR.
