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 restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric

OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.

Operands None
