Rolling Back Device Firmware

You can rollback the firmware for iDRAC or any device that is supported by Lifecycle Controller 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 iDRAC Web interface. You can

perform firmware rollback for multiple devices with one system reboot.

In 13th generation servers that have a single iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware, rolling back iDRAC

firmware will also rollback Lifecycle Controller firmware.

You can perform firmware rollback for the following components:

• iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller

• BIOS

• Network Interface Card (NIC)

• Power Supply Unit (PSU)

• RAID Controller

• Backplane

NOTE: You cannot perform firmware rollback for Diagnostics, Driver Packs, and CPLD.

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:

• iDRAC Web interface

• CMC Web interface

• RACADM CLI (iDRAC and CMC)

• Lifecycle Controller

• Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services
