Is there a way to rollback drivers through API

[an0wak]

Within RACADM there is a rollback command.

Unfortunately I am unable to find the equivalent through the API? Does it exist?

hi @an0wak

Rollback is supported in Redfish for iDRAC 9 (iDRAC 7/8 not supported), please see script "DeviceFirmwareRollbackREDFISH.py" for this feature.

Thanks Tex

Thanks Tex - exactly what I needed - was looking @ powershell version. but I can translate it.

Created a cmdlet for rollback support, example of executing it to rollback BIOS version:

PS C:\> Set-DeviceFirmwareRollbackREDFISH -idrac_ip 192.168.0.120 -idrac_username root -idrac_password calvin -get_rollback_devices y

- Supported Rollback Devices -
