Abstract
A method for managing information handling resource versions includes maintaining one or more snapshots of one or more validated release versions for a group of components. Each validated release version indicates a component version for each component in the group. Each component version in a higher validated release version is required to be greater than or equal to a corresponding component version in a lower validated release version. Responsive to identifying an instance of the component group in an non-validated state, disclosed methods identify a lowest validated release version that “covers” the non-validated state, wherein a validated release version covers any state in which no component version is greater than its corresponding component version in the validated release version. The instance of the component group is updated to a validated release version that equals or exceeds the lowest validated version.
