Embodiments of systems and methods to provide a firmware update to devices configured in a redundant configuration in an Information Handling System (IHS) are disclosed. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) having computer-executable instructions to, during a boot sequence of the BMC, determine a type of a firmware that is to be booted on the BMC, and selectively restrict access to the resources based upon the determined type of firmware.
