https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/CLI-User-Guides/Firmware-Mgmt/4-0/When the firmware on the Fabric Interconnects is updated and activated, the endpoint devices in the data center network try to boot from the new firmware image. If the endpoint device fails to boot from the new firmware image, the system will default to one of the following images:
A. The system defaults to and boots into the kickstart image: The kickstart image is a special image that is used to boot the system and start the upgrade process. If the endpoint device fails to boot from the new firmware image, the system will automatically default to the kickstart image.
B. The system defaults to and boots into the GOLD firmware image: The GOLD firmware image is the default firmware image that is used by the system. If the endpoint device fails to boot from the new firmware image, the system will automatically default to the GOLD firmware image.
C. The system defaults to the GOLD firmware image: If the endpoint device fails to boot from the new firmware image, the system will automatically default to the GOLD firmware image.
D. The system defaults to the backup image version: If the endpoint device fails to boot from the new firmware image, the system will automatically default to the backup image version.
Therefore, the answer to this question depends on the specific configuration and setup of the data center network. Without more information, it is not possible to determine which image the system will default to in this case. However, it is likely that the system will default to either the kickstart image or the GOLD firmware image.
