Rolling Back Server Component Firmware
You can install
the firmware image of the previously installed firmware for selected
components or devices across one or more servers. The firmware image
is available within the Lifecycle Controller for a rollback operation.
The availability is subject to the version compatibility logic of
the Lifecycle Controller. It also assumes the previous update was
facilitated by the Lifecycle Controller.
