Hi, we've just added 3 x B200M4 to a UCS env running 2.2(3a), the blades shipped with 2.2(5a) and version 7.0 of board controller firmware.
Once the service Profile is associated or if manually executing the steps, the activation of the 5.0 board controller fails. The 2.2(3a) firmware ships with 5.0, and i just wanted to downgrade the new blades to the standard version.
Tried to execute this via cli as well but failed: (as per: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12571651/activation-failed-b200-m4-70-board-controller-firmware-ucs-mini-302c)
# scope server X/Y (chassis X blade Y)
# scope boardcontroller
# show image (this will list all of the firmware versions)
# activate firmware 5.0 force (Select a lower version than the one already running)
# commit-buffer
Any help will be appreciated.
