Step 8 Clear the WILL_BOOT_FAULT by using the Cisco UCS Manager GUI to reset the server CIMC:
a. In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
b. On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis > Chassis number > Servers, then choose
your server.
c. In the Work pane, click the General tab.
d. In the Actions area, click Recover Server.
e. In the Recover Server dialog, click Reset CIMC (Server Controller), then click OK.
Wait for CIMC to reboot and for Cisco UCS Manager to do a shallow discovery of the server. This
takes two to three minutes. At the end of this process the WILL_BOOT_FAULT is cleared.
Note The Cisco UCS Manager 2.2(2c) bundle, including the server CIMC and BIOS, is
backward-compatible with earlier supported CPUs, so the following firmware downgrade steps
are optional.
Step 9 Optional: Downgrade your server CIMC.
Use the GUI or CLI procedures in the UCS Manager Install and Upgrade Guides.
Step 10 Optional: Downgrade your server BIOS.
Use the GUI or CLI procedures in the UCS Manager Install and Upgrade Guides.
