When the BMC boots from Recovery Flash (aka Recovery Mode) it is not fully operational. This mode is provided such that the user can update the primary flash with a new image and reboot into normal mode. Here is the list of differences between the normal mode and recovery mode:

  • The BMC does not boot host. The host is held in reset.
  • After logging to BMC GUI, only the Firmware Update tab is enabled. On the Dashboard (home screen) the JViewer launcher is disabled.
  • You are allowed to upgrade only BMC firmware in the "Recovery Mode" upgrade.

titleNote

The BMC should never boot into Recovery Mode. If this occurs, an Event Report must be logged with Sonus Technical Assistance Center detailing the circumstances and capturing BMC logs. The BMC upgrade is the only way to come out of Recovery Mode.
