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 Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
