Zusammenfassung:Various embodiments of a method of configuring a predefined set of electrically isolated blades to function as a single blade are described. In one embodiment, a configuration rule is accessed, wherein a portion of the configuration rule assigns roles to management processors coupled with the predefined set of conjoined blades of a blade partition. Assistant management processors are directed to configure blade manageability modules to support the assigned roles. The blade manageability modules are coupled with the management processors. In one embodiment, the assistant management processors are directed to configure resources to be shared across the blade partition according to the configuration rule. After determining that the conjoined blades are configured according to the configuration rule, the conjoined blades are initialized. Thus, the conjoined blades are coordinated to function as a single blade.
