In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may determine that the staged job needs to be executed by a baseboard management controller (BMC) while an information handling system (IHS) is held in a power-on self-test; create a hybrid job associated with the staged job; reboot the IHS; launch an IHS firmware application in a pre-boot IHS firmware environment; provide, to the BMC, a command to execute a first portion of the hybrid job; obtain, by the BMC, an authentication key; provide, by the BMC, the authentication key to the non-volatile storage device; execute, by the BMC, the first portion of the hybrid job to configure the non-volatile storage device; and execute, by the IHS firmware application, the second portion of the hybrid job to poll the baseboard management controller for a result status of configuring the non-volatile storage device.
