An information handling system may include a processor and a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to perform out-of-band management of the information handling system, the management controller further configured to, in response to a request from a management utility remote from the information handling system to create a firmware image for an item of firmware for a cluster comprising the information handling system retrieve a firmware update package, store the firmware update package in a repository integral to the management controller, and communicate a uniform resource locator to the management utility setting forth a path of the firmware update package within the repository, such that the management utility may later use the uniform resource locator to perform a firmware update for another information handling system of the cluster.

Systems and methods for cloning firmware updates from existing cluster for cluster expansion

Applying failure policy during updating of components, including receiving metadata of each of the components, the metadata indicating a respective classification of each of the components; sorting the components based on the metadata, including identifying a first subset of the components as critical components and a second subset of the components as non-critical components; receiving a first update package for a first component; detecting a failure to apply the first update package to the first component; in response to detecting the failure to apply the first update package to the first component: determining that the first component belongs to the first subset of components; in response to determining that the first component belongs to the first subset of components, identifying a remediation policy associated with critical components; applying the remediation policy to the first component, including rollback of the first update package at the first component.
