Provided are a techniques for processing a download. Under control of a first target device, a download command is received via a first communication medium that indicates that an update is to be downloaded. The download command is issued to a second target device via a second communication medium, wherein the second communication medium is a private device communication medium that enables private communication between the first target device and the second target device. The update is received via the first communication medium. In response to determining that the update has been downloaded, run with the update.

A vital product data system memory stores warranty information in vital product data relating to replaceable unit(s) of a data handling system. The data comprises a date of first use, and a device state field comprising an identifier representing one of the states: “new”, “recertified”, and, “in-use”. Management control, in response to newly sensing a replaceable unit, detects its device state field, and if the detected field is set to the “new” state, resets it to the “in-use” state, sets the date of first use to a current date, and stores the state field and date of first use for the replaceable unit in the memory; and if the detected field is set to the “recertified” state, resets the field to the “in-use” state, and sets the replaceable unit date of first use to the date of first use stored in the memory for the previous replaceable unit at the same location.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for maintaining dynamic persistent data. A selection module selects the most recent metadata. A verification module verifies that the metadata has been successfully updated. A validation module validates that the metadata is accurate. A communication module communicates the Persistent Storage Device data to a system processor if the metadata is validated. A storage module may store primary and secondary information of data, metadata, and data state variables.
