Abstract
A method for managing information handling systems includes obtaining, by a stackable system role (SSR) manager of an information handling system, an SSR instruction, performing an encoding on the SSR instruction using a public key to obtain an encoded instruction value, providing an encoded SSR instruction to a local hardware resource manager of the information handling system, wherein the encoded SSR instruction comprises the SSR instruction and the encoded instruction value, obtaining, from the hardware resource manager, a response, wherein the response specifies whether the encoded SSR instruction is valid, and based on the response, initiating an execution of the SSR instruction.
