Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory, a chassis management controller, and a management controller. The memory stores an update catalog and an update sequence catalog. The chassis management controller determines one or more components to update and provides an update request associated with the components. In response to the reception of the update request, the management controller retrieves the update catalog and the update sequence catalog from the memory and determines whether updates for all the components will be completed successfully. In response to the determination that the updates for all the components will be completed successfully, the management controller provides a list of updates for the chassis management controller to install in the information handling system. Otherwise, the management controller provides a user of the information handling system with a set of pre-requisite component versions to include within the update request.

Abstract: A software update manager running on an information handling system over a type 1 hypervisor operating system retrieves a virtual firmware update through a primary network interface. The virtual firmware update executes over the hypervisor to initiate a download of a firmware update to a management processor of the information handling system through a management network interface. The firmware update executes to update the firmware of the information handling system with an update process managed by an end user through the primary network interface and the software update manager.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include extracting an operating system install image from a source installation package. The method may also include receiving target information regarding information handling resources of a target information handling system. The method may further include generating executable custom scripts based on an identity of the operating system and the target information, the custom scripts configured to, when executed by the target information handling system, initiate execution of the operating system install image and perform target information handling system-based customizations to the operating system based on the target information.
