Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor, one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor, including at least one of the one or more storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via a storage interface, and a basic input/output system (BIOS) comprising a program of instructions executable by the processor and configured to cause the processor to initialize one or more information handling resources of the information handling system. The BIOS may be further configured to, in response to a request to perform a firmware update to the one or more storage resources, scan for storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, register unique identifiers associated with the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface, and perform a firmware update of the storage resources communicatively coupled to the processor via the storage interface based on the unique identifiers.
