Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, the instructions readable by a processor and, when executed, for causing the processor to:
- install a personality module on a base platform of an information handling system, the personality module to store personality information associated with an information handling resource of the information handling system;
- and
- cause the information handling system to:
- execute the personality module to store the personality information;
- and
- after executing the personality module, install software associated with the information handling system;
- wherein the information handling resource is selected from at least one of a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a service processor, the service processor configured for remote management of the information handling system.
A configuration system comprising a processor having access to a computer-readable medium including instructions, the instructions readable by the processor and, when executed, for causing the processor to:
- install a personality module on a base platform of an information handling system, the personality module to store personality information associated with an information handling resource of the information handling system;
- and
- cause the information handling system to:
- execute the personality module to store the personality information;
- and
- after executing the personality module, install software associated with the information handling system;
- wherein the information handling resource is selected from at least one of a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a service processor, the service processor configured for remote management of the information handling system.
A method of configuring systems, comprising:
- installing a personality module on a base platform of an information handling system, the personality module storing personality information associated with an information handling resource of the information handling system;
- and
- causing the information handling system to:
- execute the personality module to store the personality information;
- and
- after executing the personality module, install software associated with the information handling system;
- wherein the information handling resource is selected from at least one of a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a service processor, the service processor configured for remote management of the information handling system.
