SOFTWARE UPGRADE VERIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

Embodiments of systems and methods for verification of software packages prior to deployment on an Information Handling System (IHS) are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include computer-executable instructions for identifying a configuration characteristic of at least one resource of a client IHS that a software package depends upon to operate on the client IHS, and updating a data structure to indicate the identified software package dependency to the configuration characteristic. When the client IHS requests to be upgraded with the software package, the instructions access the data structure to determine whether or not the configuration characteristic meets the identified software package dependency, allows or inhibits the software upgrade based on if the configuration characteristic meets the identified software package dependency.
