This function is implemented within the IPMI management controller. In case of the firmware
does not boot and the BMC watchdog expires, the IPMI management controller will swap the
boot banks before resetting the CPU. Thus, the blade can recover by booting from its
redundant boot flash, which contains the old active firmware image, which did work before
firmware upgrade.
Failsafe in general can recover from many scenarios:
Missing or defect boot block
Firmware image has a bad checksum
