2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured by a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service being invoked based on the first profile.
3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the management interface is further to update the flash dual in-line memory modules via a firmware mailbox interface.
4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the first profile of the configuration change request is selected from a lookup table within a memory of the information handling system.
5. The information handling system of claim 1 , in response to the configuration change request being the hardware configuration change the management interface to: re-configure the flash dual in-line memory modules based on a platform capability of a second profile identified by the configuration change request.
6. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured without resetting the information handling system in response to a change in the second profile being supported by the platform capability.
7. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured by a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service being invoked based on a platform capability of the second profile.
8. A method comprising:
detecting, by a management interface, a configuration change request for a plurality of flash dual in-line memory modules of an information handling system;
determining whether the configuration change request is a hardware configuration change or a software configuration change; and
in response to the configuration change request being the software configuration change:
re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules based on a first profile identified by the configuration change request without resetting the information handling system;
updating metadata for the flash dual in-line memory modules based on the first profile without resetting the information handling system; and
updating a dual in-line memory module firmware interface table for the flash dual in-line memory modules based on the first profile without resetting the information handling system.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules includes invoking a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service based on the first profile.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
updating the flash dual in-line memory modules via a firmware mailbox interface.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first profile of the configuration change request is selected from a lookup table within a memory of the information handling system.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein in response to the configuration change request being the hardware configuration change:
re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules based on a platform capability of a second profile identified by the configuration change request.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured without resetting the information handling system in response to a change in the second profile being supported by the platform capability.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured by a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service being invoked based on a platform capability of the second profile.
15. A method comprising:
configuring a plurality of flash dual in-line memory modules of an information handling system according to a first configuration goal;
detecting, by a management interface, a configuration change request for the flash dual in-line memory modules;
determining whether the configuration change request is a hardware configuration change or a software configuration change;
in response to the configuration change request being the software configuration change:
re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules based on a first profile identified by the configuration change request without resetting the information handling system;
updating metadata for the flash dual in-line memory modules based on the first profile without resetting the information handling system; and
updating a dual in-line memory module firmware interface table for the flash dual in-line memory modules based on the first profile without resetting the information handling system; and
in response to the configuration change request being the hardware configuration change:
re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules based on a platform capability of a second profile identified by the configuration change request.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein re-configuring the flash dual in-line memory modules based on the first profile comprises:
invoking a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service based on the first profile.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein in response to the configuration change request being the software change, the method further comprises:
updating the flash dual in-line memory modules via a firmware mailbox interface.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first profile of the configuration change request is selected from a lookup table within a memory of the information handling system.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured without resetting the information handling system in response to a change in the second profile being supported by the platform capability.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the flash dual in-line memory modules are re-configured by a flash dual in-line memory module runtime service being invoked based on a platform capability of the second profile.
