Firmware Fallback Dialog Messages

 

Message

User Action

Attempt to revert to fallback firmware failed.

The switch was unable to fall back to the previous firmware.  Correct the problem specified and retry the operation.

Request to get admin privileges failed.

Verify that another user is not currently modifying the switch configuration, using either the management application, or a telnet login, or any application, and then retry the operation.

Switch must be reset to activate fallback firmware.  A reset will disrupt traffic.  Reset now?

The firmware will not begin executing the fallback version until the next time the switch is reset.  The user may reset the switch now, but resetting the switch is disruptive to the fabric.

 

If this is acceptable, then continue.  Otherwise, schedule an appropriate time during maintenance to reset the switch.
