Viewing and managing staged updates using iDRAC web interface
To view the list of scheduled jobs using iDRAC web interface, go to Overview → Server → 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 job queue. You can delete all the jobs queued to run during the next reboot.
You cannot delete active jobs, that is, jobs with the status Running or Downloading.
You must have Server Control privilege to delete jobs.
Viewing and managing staged updates using RACADM
To view the staged updates using RACADM, use jobqueue subcommand. For more information, see the
iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
Rolling back device firmware
You can roll back the firmware for iDRAC or any device that is supported by Lifecycle Controller 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 13th generation of PowerEdge servers that have a single iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller
firmware, rolling back the iDRAC firmware also rolls back the Lifecycle Controller firmware. However, on
a 12th generation of PowerEdge server with firmware version 2.xx.xx.xx, rolling back iDRAC to a previous
version such as 1.xx.xx does not roll back the Lifecycle Controller firmware version. It is recommended
that you roll back Lifecycle Controller to a previous version after rolling back iDRAC.
