Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) Version 1.50.50 User's Guide
Rolling Back Device Firmware
You can rollback the firmware for iDRAC or any device that is supported by Lifecycle Controller. You can perform firmware rollback for multiple devices with one system reboot.
You can rollback the firmware 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 iDRAC7 Web interface.
You can perform firmware rollback for the following components:
- iDRAC
- BIOS
- Network Interface Card (NIC)
- Power Supply Unit (PSU)
- RAID Controller
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:
- iDRAC7 Web interface
- CMC Web interface
- RACADM CLI (iDRAC7 and CMC)
- Lifecycle Controller
- Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services
