Software-defined data center (SDDC) rack quick discovery after hardware management system (HMS) restart

Abstract:

An inventory cache that contains a rack inventory state is created, with a hardware management system (HMS), for each of a plurality of components on the software-defined data center (SDDC) rack. The rack inventor state is stored at a database. During a restart of the HMS the rack inventory state at the database is accessed by the HMS and used to create the rack inventory state instead of performing a SDDC rack discovery by the HMS.
