Abstract: Examples of performing an out-of-band firmware update of a server computing device are described. In an example, a first disk image is mounted onto a server computing device. The first disk image comprises a bootable firmware and is mounted in response to a mount command received through an out-of-band communication service. In another example, a second disk image is also mounted onto the server computing device. The second disk image is also mounted in response to another mount command received through the out-of-band communication service and is to provide a read-writable container, when mounted. Thereafter, a booting process of the server computing device may be initiated based on mounted first image to update the firmware of the server computing device. Information related to the update of the firmware is store in the read-writable container.

Abstract: A process includes determining, by an operating system agent of a computer system, a first profile that is associated with an input/output (I/O) peripheral of the computer system. The first profile is associated with an error register of the I/O peripheral, and the first profile represents a configuration of the computer system that is associated with the I/O peripheral. The process includes, responsive to a notification of an error being associated with the I/O peripheral, determining, by the operating system agent, a second profile that is associated with the I/O peripheral. The second profile is associated with the error register. Moreover, responsive to the notification of the error, the process includes comparing, by a baseboard management controller of the computer system, the second profile to the first profile. Based on the comparison, the process includes determining, by the baseboard management controller, whether the error is attributable to a driver for the I/O peripheral.
