Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, are to:
cause a first disk image to be mounted, in response to a mount command received through an out-of-band communication service, onto a server computing device, wherein the first disk image comprises a bootable firmware;
cause a second disk image to be mounted, in response to another mount command received through the out-of-band communication service, onto the server computing device, wherein the second disk image when mounted is to create a read-writable container, within a partition of a memory of the server computing device, to store information, related to updating a firmware of the server computing device;
cause booting up of the server computing device based on the mounted first disk image to update the firmware of the server computing device;
cause an executable task present within the bootable firmware to be activated in response to booting up of the server computing device, wherein the executable task when activated is to record information related to update of the firmware in the read-writable container;
cause the second disk image to be unmounted from the server computing device, wherein the second disk image stores information related to the update of the firmware of the server computing device;
mount the second disk image that has been unmounted from the server computing device, upon detecting completion of the update, onto a management system communicatively coupled to the server computing device; and
retrieve the information related to the update of the firmware from the read-writable container mounted onto the management system.
