Removing unactivated firmware from slot

obswwf opened this issue · comments

After running nvme fw-commit -s 2 -a 0 /dev/nvme0 and nvme fw-log /dev/nvme0 I realized that the new firmware version is identical to the old one in frs1. Running nvme reset /dev/nvme0 has no effect. Is there a way to remove the new firmware from frs2?

Seems needed to replace the frs2 firmware with the new version firmware if you have instead of the removing since seems not able to just remove the frs2 firmware.

There is no commit action to evict an image from a slot. You have to overwrite it with something else.

Are there plans to implement this feature in a future release?

As far as confirmed NVMe TPs and OCP specification seems no plan for the feature.

If the nvme committee defines this feature we can implement it. Until then, nothing we can do. So you need to talk to them first.
