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.
