a machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
cause a first disk image and a second disk image to be mounted onto a server computing device via an out-of-band communication service, wherein the first disk image comprises a bootable firmware and wherein the second disk image when mounted is to create, within the server computing device, a read-writable disk space to store information related to updating a firmware of the server computing device; and
cause, via the out-of-band communication service, booting up of the server computing device based on the mounted first disk image to update the firmware of the server computing device;
