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.
