Hardware Automation Deployment and Test with Big Scale in ChinaMobile NFV cloud
summary
Automated hardware integration system for China Mobile NFV cloud configures and validates 50,000 servers with plug-and-play capability using an auto platform and auto2 tools, performing BMC/BIOS/BMC account and host config, switch initial config, Redfish interface checks, and cable connectivity verification. A 300-switch batch config finishes in ~15 minutes, 1,500 servers complete config and tests in 1.5 hours, cable checks run under 5 minutes, and overall integration time drops about 50% while running in production (phase one).
