Viewing and Managing Staged Updates Using RACADM
To view the staged updates using RACADM, use jobqueue subcommand. For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command
Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
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
