Abstract
Methods and systems for updating a data processing system are disclosed. To update the data processing system, an out of band communication channel may be used by a management controller of the data processing system to: obtain a command, and based on the command, obtain an update package from a remote entity for updating the data processing system. The management controller may store the update package in a partition using local side band communication channels. After the update package is stored, the management controller may initiate a restart of the data processing system. During the restart, if the update package is determined to be in the partition, a startup management entity may use the update package to update operation of a component to obtain an updated component. After completion of the restart, the updated component may be used to provide desired computer implemented services.
