Dell iDRAC8 manual Rolling Back Device Firmware, Viewing and Managing Staged Updates Using Racadm

Viewing and Managing Staged Updates Using iDRAC Web interface

To view the list of scheduled jobs using iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview → Server → Job Queue. The Job Queue page displays the status of jobs in the Lifecycle Controller job queue. For information about the displayed fields, see the iDRAC Online Help.

To delete job(s), select the job(s) and click Delete. The page is refreshed and the selected job is removed from the Lifecycle Controller job queue. You can delete all the jobs queued to run during the next reboot. You cannot delete active jobs, that is, jobs with the status Running or Downloading.

You must have Server Control privilege to delete jobs.

Viewing and Managing Staged Updates Using RACADM

To view the staged updates using RACADM, use jobqueue subcommand. For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Rolling Back Device Firmware

You can rollback the firmware for iDRAC or any device that is supported by Lifecycle Controller even if the update was previously performed using another interface. For example, if the firmware was updated using the Lifecycle Controller GUI, you can rollback the firmware using the iDRAC Web interface. You can perform firmware rollback for multiple devices with one system reboot.

In 13th generation servers that have a single iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware, rolling back iDRAC firmware will also rollback Lifecycle Controller firmware.

You can perform firmware rollback for the following components:

•iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller

•BIOS

•Network Interface Card (NIC)

•Power Supply Unit (PSU)

•RAID Controller

•Backplane

NOTE: You cannot perform firmware rollback for Diagnostics, Driver Packs, and CPLD.

Before you rollback the firmware, make sure that:

•You have Configure privilege to rollback iDRAC firmware.

•You have Server Control privilege and have enabled Lifecycle Controller to rollback firmware for any other device other than the iDRAC.

You can rollback the firmware to the previously installed version using any of the following methods:

•iDRAC Web interface

•CMC Web interface

•RACADM CLI (iDRAC and CMC)

•Lifecycle Controller
