Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of provisioning a data processing unit (DPU) management operating system using a capsule. A management hypervisor installer executed on a host device receives a listing DPU device from a baseboard management controller (BMC). A preinstalled DPU management operating system image is identified for a DPU device from the listing, and is wrapped with a capsule that specifies the capsule as a DPU management operating system image capsule. A server component provides the DPU management operating system image capsule at a particular URI, and the URI is transmitted to the BMC.
