Abstract
A management system for an information handling system includes a memory device and a management controller. The memory device includes a primary firmware image and a backup firmware image. The management controller boots the management system. The boot of the management system includes a read of a first block at an offset within the primary firmware image. The management controller further determines that the read of the first block had a first read error, and reboots the management system in response to determining that the read of the first block had the first read error. The reboot of the management system includes a read of a second block at the offset within the backup firmware image.
