Abstract
A system and method updating firmware of cells in cellular, high availability, computing systems. One or more cells having missing, obsolete, corrupt, or otherwise errored firmware when compared to other cells in the partition are identified as mismatched cells. An update cell having desired firmware transmits an update message to each mismatched cell via a manageability system slow speed interconnect. In response to the update message, each mismatched cell enables a high speed interconnect over which they can receive the desired firmware. The update cell transmits the update firmware to each mismatched cell via the high speed interconnect.
