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. This command cannot be used to
restore SAS and SA images.

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

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

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

Note

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.
