SUT downgrade system firmware

[nathan-hpe]

Hello HPE Community,

Has anybody tried downgrading system firmware using SUT? I would imagine there is a way to force SUT to deploy with an older version of SPP but I could not find any instruction on how to set that up in the SUT CLI user reference guide (https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=a00068223en_us).

Thanks!

Regards,
Nathan

Hi AmRa,

Thanks. I did check in the the user guide, but could not find any information on forcing a firmware downgarde. Do you have the commands at hand that you can share with me?

Much thanks!
