Rollback firmware using iDRAC web interface
To roll back device firmware:

The Rollback page displays the devices for which you can rollback the firmware. You can view the device name, associated devices,
currently installed firmware version, and the available firmware rollback version.
2. Select one or more devices for which you want to rollback the firmware.
3. Based on the selected devices, click Install and Reboot or Install Next Reboot. If only iDRAC is selected, then click Install.
When you click Install and Reboot or Install Next Reboot, the message “Updating Job Queue” is displayed.
4. Click Job Queue.
The Job Queue page is displayed, where you can view and manage the staged firmware updates.
NOTE:
• While in rollback mode, the rollback process continues in the background even if you navigate away from this
page.
An error message appears if:
• You do not have Server Control privilege to rollback any firmware other than the iDRAC or Configure privilege to rollback iDRAC
firmware.

If Lifecycle Controller is disabled or in recovery state and you try to perform a firmware rollback for any device other than iDRAC, an
appropriate warning message is displayed along with steps to enable Lifecycle Controller.
