An information handling system includes a non-volatile memory and a processor configured to determine whether a previous boot of the information handling system was successful while booting the information handling system. If the previous boot of the information handling system was successful, then the processor determines whether current configuration settings of the information handling system match most recent known good configuration settings. If the current configuration settings of the information handling system do not match the most recent known good configuration settings, then the current configuration settings are stored as a most recent restore point in the memory.

System and method for automatic recovery of information handling systems

A method may include, during a boot of an information handling system: determining, based on settings stored in non-volatile memory of the information handling system, whether to perform pre-commit execution of a firmware update image prior to committing the firmware update image to a motherboard of the information handling system, and responsive to determining to perform pre-commit execution, load the firmware update image from a basic input/output system partition of a storage resource of the information handling system and execute the firmware update image in lieu of a firmware image stored on the motherboard.

Systems and methods for executing and verifying system firmware update before committing firmware update to motherboard

An information handling system includes a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores Power-On Self Test (POST) code, diagnostic code, and remediation code. The POST code determines whether an error occurred while booting the information handling system. If an error occurred, the diagnostic code determines whether the error is associated with a configuration setting of the information handling system being in a first state. If the error is associated with the configuration setting being in the first state, the remediation code changes the first configuration setting from the first state to a second state, and reboots the information handling system.
