Abstract

A new management node associated with a new rack sends at least a public key of the new management node to a first management node associated with a first rack and a plurality of autonomous management nodes. The first management node sends the new management node an access token trusted by at least a portion of the plurality of autonomous management nodes and a set of public keys corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of autonomous management nodes. The new management node can send its public key and the access token to at least a portion of the plurality of autonomous management nodes. In response, the new management node can establish a mutual trust relationship with at least a portion of the plurality of autonomous management nodes.
