Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring firmware updates using an in-band interface are described. In an embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a firmware update package having a payload; create a namespace in a persistent memory; copy the payload to a segment of the persistent memory associated with the namespace; and write, to an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) variable, an Emulator Device Path (EDP) pointing to the payload.

Abstract: Systems and methods provided for vulnerability proofing updates to an IHS (Information Handling System). Upon receipt of an update to hardware component configurations of the IHS, vulnerability proofing requirements for modifications to the hardware component configurations are retrieved, including requirements for modifications that are validated for operation of a computational workload by the IHS. Based on the vulnerability proofing requirements, catalogs specifying known vulnerabilities of hardware components are consulted to determine whether the modifications are identified as vulnerable in the catalogs and whether remediations to the identified vulnerabilities are validated for operation of the workload. If the modifications are not identified as vulnerable in the catalogs, the update is transmitted to the IHS. If the modifications are identified as vulnerable in the catalogs and remediations to the identified vulnerabilities are not validated for operation of the workload, the update is terminated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for performing firmware activation, including obtaining input/output (I/O) metrics of the disks; determining an index value for the disk based on a disk weighted index (DWI); determining a DWI value for the array of disks based on the index value for each disk of the array of disks; comparing the DWI value for the array of disks to a DWI threshold; determining that the DWI value for a first array of disks is greater than the DWI threshold, and in response: aggregating the I/O metrics for each disk of the first array of disks; comparing the aggregated I/O metrics for the first array of disks to an activation threshold; determining that the aggregated I/O metrics for the first array of disks is less than the activation threshold, and in response triggering firmware activation for the first array of disks.

Abstract: An information handling system receives a notification regarding a state of the information handling system, and determines an alert management policy associated with the notification regarding the state of the information handling system. The system also applies an alert management action to enforce the alert management policy.
