Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of provisioning a data processing unit (DPU) management operating system (OS). A host device boots a host provisioning image, which executes a host provisioning agent. The host provisioning agent launches a server component that serves a DPU management OS. A provisioning command is transmitted to a DPU device installed to the host device. The server component transmits the DPU management OS from the host device to the DPU device. A host OS is executed once an indication that the DPU device is executing on the DPU management OS is received.
