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.
