- Management node: Linux server with the following components installed:
- Compute node: Refers to the target blade or virtual machine on which Windows is installed.
- Provisioning engine: Software which is able to interact with the compute node making it possible to install an OS on it
- VCL can utilize several different provisioning engines including xCAT, VMware Server, VMware ESX, and VMware ESXi. xCAT is a cluster management tool used to install images on bare metal blades.
- The provisioning engine may be a hypervisor if the compute nodes are virtual machines (VMware)
- The provisioning engine may interact with the BladeCenter's management module if the compute nodes are IBM blades (xCAT)
- The provisioning engine may utilize IPMI if the compute nodes support it (xCAT)
