Abstract
Systems and methods for updating at least one field replaceable unit (FRU) are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise generating a virtual image of a FRU ID for each FRU to be updated. The method may also comprise storing the virtual image separate from the FRU ID. The method may also comprise providing a handle to the virtual image so that updated information is retrieved from the virtual image when the FRU is accessed.
