System and method for enabling a rollback mechanism for shared devices in an information handling system

An information handling system comprising:

• a shared device utilized by first and second compute nodes within the information handling system;
• and
• a chassis controller including a memory;
• the first compute node to communicate with the shared device and with the chassis controller, the first compute node including a first management controller to:
• initiate a firmware update for firmware in the shared device;
• detect that the firmware update is complete;
• and
• in response to the firmware update being completed, send rollback information for the firmware to the chassis controller;
• and
• in response to reception of the rollback information, the chassis controller to:
• store the rollback information as a rollback image within a storage location of the memory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code that when executed performs a method, the method comprising:

• initiating, by a first management controller of a first compute node in an information handling system, a firmware update for firmware in a shared device of the information handling system, wherein the shared device is utilized by the first compute node and a second compute node;
• when the firmware update is complete, sending rollback information for the firmware to a chassis controller of the information handling system;
• and
• storing, by the chassis controller, the rollback information as a rollback image within a storage location of a memory in the chassis controller.
