Zusammenfassung:An information handling system may include a processor, a smart network interface card communicatively coupled to the processor, a basic input/output system configured to be the first code executed by the processor when the information handling system is booted and configured to initialize components of the information handling system into a known state, and a management controller configured for out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may further configured to communicate information regarding the smart network interface card to a provisioning server, receive parameters from the provisioning server for a network-based boot of the smart network interface card, and communicate the parameters to the smart network interface card to enable the smart network interface card to boot from an image stored at the provisioning server.
