Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving a feature package associated with a provisioning action via a management controller communicatively coupled to a host system and configured to provide management of an information handling system comprising the host system and the management controller via management traffic communicated between the management controller and a network external to the information handling system, extracting components of the feature package including a first binary image and a second binary image, and executing the first binary image, wherein the first binary image is configured to store the second binary image in a portion of a memory accessible to the host system, set a variable flag indicating the management controller is in a maintenance mode, and cause the host system to reboot to execute the second binary image.
