System and method for refreshing an information handling system using many to one peer based communication

An information handling system, comprising:

• a processor subsystem having access to a first memory;
• a management controller comprising a secondary processor having access to a second memory, the second memory including an embedded storage partition and the second memory storing instructions executable by the secondary processor to:
• receive a request for information corresponding to a configuration, wherein the request is received from a node in a group with a plurality of nodes and the information requested corresponds to an update to the configuration of the node;
• search a group inventory for the information, wherein the group inventory is sourced from the group;
• and
• respond to the request with the information corresponding to the configuration based on a match in the group inventory.
