Claim:
An information handling system, comprising: at least one in-band processing device; at least one out-of-band processing device; and persistent storage coupled to the out-of-band processing device and to the in-band processing device; where the out-of-band processing device is configured to manage System Profile Unique Data (SPUD) stored on the persistent storage for the information handling system, the SPUD including machine-specific information that is unique to the information handling system; and where the information handling system further comprises system storage separate from the persistent storage, the system storage maintaining SPUD for the in-band processing device; where the in-band processing device is configured to access the system storage to support in-band system operations; and where the out-of-band processing device is configured to: identify and gather SPUD from the system storage in an out-of-band manner while the in-band processing device is not operating, to save the gathered SPUD on the persistent storage while the in-band processing device is not operating, and to then re-install the saved SPUD from the persistent storage to the system storage while the in-band processing device is not operating.
