Recovering from a bad firmware boot

If Linux^® does not boot with the temporary firmware level, connect a console to the BladeCenter QS20 serial port and reboot using the Management Module.

At the console, stop the firmware boot (press s on the console) and type on the console the following command to set the firmware to the permanent side:

# 0 set-flashside

Next, reject the temporary firmware (which copies the permanent firmware to the temporary location) by typing:

# update_flash -r

Then type the following command to set the firmware back to the temporary side:

# 1 set-flashside

and reboot the BladeCenter^®.
