R740 server firmware recovery methods?
I'm planning to update some f/w such as NIC, BIOS, HBA...etc for the R740 server via iDRAC9 GUI.
Got articles about updating f/w: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/zh-tw/000128194/updating-firmware-and-drivers-on-dell-emc-poweredge-servers?lang=en
I would like to know if disasters happened when updating firmware,
Can I just use iDRAC to update firmware again to recover?
is using iDRAC (to update firmware again) powerful enough to recover the failed firmware update?
is using racadm cli, Platform-Specific Bootable ISO, Dell EMC Server Update Utility ISO and Lifecycle Controller
also efficient methods to apply update for saving the failed firmware update back?
No Events found!

Hello,
You can use the iDRAC and LCC both to update and rollback firmware. This can sometimes correct any issues encountered with firmware updates, but it isn't a 100% guaranteed fix.
