Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for quiescing a boot environment. A reservation module reserves a portion of a first storage device. A store module stores an update boot image to the reserved portion. A detection module detects the update boot image stored on the first storage device when the computer boots and executes the update boot image in place of a standard boot image in response to detecting the update boot image. The update boot image places a computer in a known quiescent state.
