Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for auto-discovery of pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices on a network, upon initial connection to a network, an auto-discovery request is automatically broadcasting over the network, by a first pre-configured hyper-converged computing device for supporting a virtualization infrastructure, to other pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices on the network. A response to the auto-discovery request is received from the other pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices for auto-discovery of the other pre-configured hyper-converged computing devices on the network.
