Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 79
iDRAC6 Firmware Rollback
iDRAC6 has the provision to maintain two simultaneous firmware images. You
can choose to boot from (or rollback to) the firmware image of your choice.
1
Open the iDRAC6 Web-based interface and log in to the remote system.
Click
System → Remote Access , and then click the Update tab.
2 In the Upload/Rollback (Step 1 of 3) page, click Rollback . The current
and the rollback firmware versions are displayed on the
Status (Step 2
of 3)
page.
Preserve Configuration provides you with the option to preserve or clear
the existing iDRAC6 configuration. This option is selected by default.
NOTE: If you deselect the Preserve Configuration checkbox, the iDRAC6 will
be reset to its default settings. In the default settings, the LAN is enabled.
You may not be able to log in to the iDRAC6 Web interface. You will have to
reconfigure the LAN settings using the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility during
BIOS POST or the racadm command (available locally on the server).
3 Click Update to start the firmware update process.
On the
Updating (Step 3 of 3) page, you see the status of the rollback
operation. The progress, measured in percentages, appear in the
Progress
column.
NOTE: While in the update mode, the update process will continue in the
background even if you navigate away from this page.
If the firmware update is successful, the iDRAC6 will reset automatically.
You should close the current browser window and reconnect to the
iDRAC6 using a new browser window. An appropriate error message is
displayed if an error occurs.
