Patent 10972350 was granted and assigned to Nutanix on April, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Examples described herein include imaging servers which may support asynchronous imaging of one or more computers (e.g., computing nodes). The imaging server may use out-of-band communication to install requested images on one or more computing nodes. The imaging server may support multiple concurrent installation sessions, and may maintain a log specific to each session. This may facilitate session-specific status reporting. In this manner, operating systems, hypervisors, or other software may be installed on computing nodes.
