Storage device/multi-operating-system lcs provisioning system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) that is configured to:
• create, using a first BIOS identity, a first primary Operating System (OS) region and a secondary OS region of a storage device in a Bare Metal Server (BMS);
• secure, using the first BIOS identity, the first primary OS region of the storage device;
• provide, using the first BIOS identity, a primary OS via the first primary OS region of the storage device, wherein the primary OS installs a secondary OS image on the secondary OS region of the storage device;
• lock, using the first BIOS identity, the first primary OS region of the storage device;
• and
• provide, using a second BIOS identity and the secondary OS image on the secondary OS region of the storage device, a secondary OS via the secondary OS region of the storage device, wherein the securing of the first primary OS region of the storage device using the first BIOS identity and the providing of the secondary OS via the secondary OS region of the storage device using the second BIOS identity prevents the secondary OS from accessing the first primary OS region of the storage device.

A method for providing Logically Composed Systems (LCSs) using multiple operating systems on a storage device, comprising:

• creating, by a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) using a first BIOS identity, a first primary Operating System (OS) region and a secondary OS region of a storage device in a Bare Metal Server (BMS);
• securing, by the BIOS using the first BIOS identity, the first primary OS region of the storage device;
• providing, by the BIOS using the first BIOS identity, a primary OS via the first primary OS region of the storage device, wherein the primary OS installs a secondary OS image on the secondary OS region of the storage device;
• locking, by the BIOS using the first BIOS identity, the first primary OS region of the storage device;
• and
• providing, by the BIOS using a second BIOS identity and the secondary OS image on the secondary OS region of the storage device, a secondary OS via the secondary OS region of the storage device, wherein the securing of the first primary OS region of the storage device using the first BIOS identity and the providing of the secondary OS via the secondary OS region of the storage device using the second BIOS identity prevents the secondary OS from accessing the first primary OS region of the storage device.
