Issue

  • On AFF A250 systems, both nodes might unexpectedly boot from the backup SPI flash recovery image instead of the Primary SPI flash image following an AC power cycle event.
  • The backup image version uses a 15.9<n> format – e.g. 15.95P1
  • When this occurs, the BMC operates in a recovery/fallback state, which may result in reduced management functionality or version inconsistency between the active BMC firmware and the expected production image.
