This connects Scout PCI candidate evaluation to the shared atomic alignment operation at safe lifecycle boundaries, then reuses the existing desired boot-interface and BootConfiguring flow to converge Redfish configuration. API Core records the corrected intent and enqueues the stable host ID; machine-controller remains responsible for lifecycle transitions, Redfish work, and reboots.
What this involves
- Evaluate only selections marked
RedfishChassisId or RedfishSerialNumber.
- Suppress automatic replacement for
ExpectedMachine, Operator, RedfishUefiPci, ScoutReportPci, and LegacyUnknown.
- Use fresh authenticated Scout data after stable-ID resolution, or a discovery boundary that proves the report was persisted.
- Allow settlement during initial HostInit or later
Ready with no instance; never mutate an assigned or instance-bearing host.
- When Scout selects the current target, record
ScoutReportPci without desired/network generation changes or a reboot.
- When Scout selects a different target, atomically align primary/network/desired/source state, commit, and enqueue.
- Let the existing pending-generation checks enter
BootConfiguring::Prepare; API Core must not write controller state directly or force the machine backward.
- At the beginning of
Prepare, wait until every expected DPU has observed the new host network-configuration version before any Redfish, lockdown, or reboot work.
- Reuse existing vendor jobs, recovery, reboot, lockdown restoration, and exact desired-generation verification.
Acceptance criteria
- A complete same-target candidate settles without network work or reboot.
- A complete different-target candidate aligns state atomically and enters existing convergence.
- Incomplete or ambiguous evidence retains the provisional choice and reports why settlement could not run.
- Allocation and correction serialize on the machine lock; an assigned host receives no side effects.
BootConfiguring::Prepare performs no Redfish or lockdown action before DPU network versions synchronize.
- Controller restart during the sync wait and host restart during Redfish convergence resume safely.
- Rebooted Scout registration keeps the existing no-op control behavior and does not restart the full discovery lifecycle.
- Repeated reports cannot flip a settled choice or create a reboot loop.
- An end-to-end two-DPU test covers early serial/chassis order disagreeing with Scout PCI order.
- Real supported GB200 vendor/firmware reports validate chassis-to-PCI correlation, Scout path parsing, DHCP/Admin-address behavior, and rollout gating before enablement.
- No new top-level or serialized controller state is introduced.
