interface

To view the list of scheduled jobs using iDRAC web interface, go to Maintenance > Job Queue. The Job Queue page displays the

status of jobs in the Lifecycle Controller job queue. For information about the displayed fields, see the iDRAC Online Help.

To delete job(s), select the job(s) and click Delete. The page is refreshed and the selected job is removed from the Lifecycle Controller

Viewing and managing staged updates using RACADM

Rolling back device firmware

You can roll back the firmware for iDRAC or any device that Lifecycle Controller supports, even if the upgrade was previously performed

using another interface. For example, if the firmware was upgraded using the Lifecycle Controller GUI, you can roll back the firmware

using the iDRAC web interface. You can perform firmware rollback for multiple devices with one system reboot.

On Dell’s 14

generation PowerEdge servers that have a single iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller firmware, rolling back the iDRAC firmware

also rolls back the Lifecycle Controller firmware.

It is recommended to keep the firmware updated to ensure you have the latest features and security updates. You may need to rollback an

update or install an earlier version if you encounter any issues after an update. To install an earlier version, use Lifecycle Controller to check

for updates and select the version you want to install.
