Abstract
Techniques are provided for automatically updating one or more firmware versions based on corresponding device driver versions of a server device. One method comprises, in response to an update of a device driver of a server device: obtaining, by the server device, a driver version of the device driver; identifying, using firmware mapping data structures, a firmware version of firmware of the server device associated with (e.g., compatible with) the obtained driver version; and updating the firmware to correspond to the identified firmware version from the firmware mapping data structures. The driver version may be obtained from: (i) a host agent associated with an operating system of the server device, and/or (ii) a memory of the server device, after being stored in the memory in response to: a loading of the device driver from the operating system and/or the update of the device driver.
