    Abstract: A firmware update system includes firmware storage device(s), an operating system engine coupled to the firmware storage device(s), and a remote access controller device coupled to the firmware storage device(s) and the operating system engine. The remote access controller device receives a single out-of-band firmware update command and, in response, performs a firmware storage device unlock operation to unlock the firmware storage device(s), transmits a firmware update package including a firmware update utility and a firmware update image to the operating system engine to cause the operating system engine to utilize the firmware update utility to update firmware stored in the firmware storage device(s) that was unlocked with the firmware update image and, subsequent to the operating system engine updating the firmware stored in the at least one firmware storage device that was unlocked, performs a firmware storage device lock operation to lock the firmware storage device(s).

    Abstract: An automated firewall-compliant customer support resolution provisioning system includes a customer support system coupled to a customer device. The customer support system receives a first secure request from the customer device that identifies an event in the customer device and, in response, sends a first secure response through a firewall subsystem to the customer device within a first timeout period enforced by the firewall subsystem. The customer support system then determines event resolution information for the event. Subsequent to the first timeout period and based on the first secure response, the customer device sends a second secure request to the customer support system requesting the event resolution and the customer support system sends the event resolution information through the firewall subsystem to the customer device within a second timeout period enforced by the firewall subsystem. The customer device then utilizes the event resolution information to address the event.

    Abstract: A support information provisioning system a support device, an external device; and a customer device. The customer device includes an external connector and a remote access controller device that is coupled to the external connector. In situations where the customer device is experiencing at least one customer device issue that prevents the customer device from provisioning support information related to the operation of the customer device, the remote access controller device operates to detect that the external device has been connected to the external connector and, in response, automatically cause new support information about that customer device to be generated. When the external device is subsequently connected to the support device, it may then provide that new support information to the support device for analysis.
