Abstract:
A computer system includes a memory, the memory comprising a hardware boot parameter storage area; an operating system running on the computer system; and reboot logic configured to: store updated boot parameters for the operating system in the hardware boot parameter storage area in the memory; perform a reboot of the operating system with the updated boot parameters; determine whether the reboot of the operating system is successful, and, in the event the reboot of the operating system is successful, automatically propagate the updated boot parameters to a persistent boot parameter storage area.
