Abstract
A disclosed system generates a baseline configuration manifest indicative of a known good state of a plurality of information handling modules. Configuration update information indicating updates to the modules and dependencies between or among the information handling modules is received. The information handling system may then be updated in accordance with the configuration update information. The baseline configuration manifest may include a plurality of module manifests corresponding to the plurality of information handling modules and updating the information handling system may include updating the one or more information handling modules in a sequence determined by update sequence information. The configuration update information may include one or more update payloads corresponding to one or more of the information handling modules. In such cases, updating the information handling system may include providing each of update payload to its corresponding information handling module.
