Roll back an individual device's firmware version
You can roll back the firmware version of a device that is later than the firmware version of the baseline it is associated with.
This feature is available only when you view and configure properties of an individual device. See Viewing and configuring
devices on page 48. You can upgrade or roll back the firmware version of an individual device. You can roll back the firmware
version of only one device at a time.
NOTE:
● Rollback is applicable only for firmware. Device drivers once updated, can't be rolled back to previous version.
● Rollback is only for devices that are updated from the OME console (it is applicable to both baseline and for single DUP
update).
● If any of the installed iDRACs are not in 'ready' state, a firmware update job may indicate failure even though the
firmware is successfully applied. Review the iDRAC that is not in the ready state, and then press F1 to continue during
the server boot.
Any device firmware that is updated by using the iDRAC GUI is not listed here and cannot be updated. For information about
creating baseline, see Create a baseline on page 56.
1. In the left pane, select the group, and then click the device name in the list.
2. On the <device name> page, click Firmware/Drivers.
3. From the Baseline drop-down menu, select the baseline to which the device belongs to.
All the devices that are associated with the selected baseline are listed. For information about field description in the table,
see View the baseline compliance report on page 57.

● CURRENT VERSION: Current version of the component.
● ROLLBACK VERSION: Suggested firmware version to which the component can be downgraded.
● ROLLBACK SOURCE: Click Browse to select a source from where the firmware version can be downloaded.
7. Click Finish. The firmware version is rolled back.
NOTE:
Currently, the Rollback feature tracks only the version number from which the firmware is rolled back. Rollback
does not consider the firmware version that is installed by using the Rollback feature (by rolling back the version).
Refresh the device inventory
By default, the inventory of software and hardware components in devices or device groups is automatically collected after
