Abstract

An information handling system includes a basic input/output system (BIOS) that performs a firmware boot operation. During the firmware boot operation, the BIOS determines whether a driver pack management controller setting is enabled within a baseboard management controller of the information handling system. In response to the driver pack management controller setting being enabled, the BIOS copies a binary utility from the baseboard management controller to a system memory, and creates an operating system specific platform binary table to point to the binary utility on the baseboard management controller. In response to the operating system being initialized, a processor invokes the binary utility, mounts a memory partition of the baseboard management controller as a virtual drive of the operating system, and executes the operating system specific binary stage under a fixed globally unique identifier to install a driver pack.
