firmwareRestore

Restores the former active firmware image.

SYNOPSIS

firmwarerestore

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to restore the former active Fabric OS firmware image. This command can only be
run if autocommit was disabled during the firmwareDownload process.

After a firmwareDownload and a reboot (with autocommit disabled), the downloaded firmware
becomes active. If you do not want to commit the firmware and want to restore the former firmware, issue
the firmwareRestore command. After running firmwareRestore, you can run firmwareDownload
again.

This command reboots the system and makes the former firmware active. After the switch reboots, both
primary and secondary partitions restore the previous firmware.

This command only takes action if the system is booted after a firmwareDownload; otherwise, the
process terminates with an error.

NOTES

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
