This is the recommended method for rolling back firmware when it is not committed.
Run firmware restore in batches on all devices in the fabric.
-
In batch-1, restore the firmware
device that hosts EFA standby node and devices on the right side of the
fabric.
$ efa inventory device firmware-download restore –ip <batch-1 device IPs separated by comma >
The download is complete when the Update State column shows
Completed on all devices and the Status column shows Firmware
Rolled Back.
-
Perform a high availability failover.
-
In batch-2, restore the firmware device that hosts EFA standby node (previously
Active) and devices on the left side of the fabric.
$ efa inventory device firmware-download restore –ip <batch-2 device IPs separated by comma >
Note
While fabric-wide restore is supported, traffic interruptions could still
occur.
-
Commit the firmware across all devices in fabric.
$ efa inventory device firmware-download commit –fabric <fabric name>
