Rolling back an individual device 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. 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: Only the firmware that is upgraded by using the individual device update feature can be rolled back.

NOTE: 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 updated by using the iDRAC GUI is not listed here and cannot be updated. For information about creating baseline,

see Creating a firmware baseline.
