We have recently had a Raid Controller failure on a C250 M1 server with Oracle Solaris (yes, I get it, it is old :)).
The replacement raid controller has a much newer firmware, this seems to cause the Solaris to panic on boot.
Is there a procedure to downgrade the firmware to the same firmware as the failed controller that is 2.120.133-1322.x.
any advice is welcome.
Thanks

Hello,
You would likely want to run the HUU for whatever firmware revision the C-series server is currently running. The HUU is the host upgrade utility, a bootable ISO, that helps manage the C-series firmware.
You should be able to find the appropriate HUU here.

Hello,
If you can provide the following information:
CIMC version and the HUU used to upgrade the firmware
I believe if we can track the HUU having the firmware 2.120.133-1322.x. we should be able to unless there is an interoperability issue.
CISCO Interop link:

I checked the ucs-c250-huu-1.4.2.iso HUU from the release notes of 1.4(2)
9261 has the required vesion - 2.120.133-1322

Hi
Firstly thanks for the reply
I have the huu with the firmware but after updating to that version it reboots with the current version.
I'm wondering if there is a different process to downgrade.

Just for curiosity... are you saving the changes after the upgrade? I worked on a case a while ago where the upgrade was successful but the user was not saving the changes before the reboot...
