Network resource management system utilizing physical network identification for converging operations

The disclosed network resource management system employs a hardware configuration management (HCM) information handling system (IHS) that may couple to a single administered IHS or to multiple administered IHSs via an administrative network. An HCM tool in the HCM IHS may generate, modify and store hardware configuration information, including physical network identifications (PNet IDs), in an HCM database and share the HCM database with the administered IHSs. The administered IHS may be a remote direct memory access (RDMA) enabled network interface controller (RNIC) converging IHS. An RNIC converging tool may extract hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, from the HCM database. The RNIC converging tool may utilize the hardware configuration information, including PNet IDs, to enable the RNIC converging IHS to communicate over a network with RDMA protocols.
