X710-T2L OCP F/W Displaying version problem.

[BrilliantTomato]

i'm using X710-T2L and X710-T2L OCP NIC to 50 hosts.

Recently, I tried to update the firmware. (8.70 to 9.01)

All X710-T2L Completed on first attempt. 

but, 80-90% X710-T2L OCP Failed on first attempt.

I tried until I successful. Most of them succeeded, but 3-4 X710-T2L OCP is entered RECOVERY Mode. i tried RECOVERY using 9.01 F/W, it is successful.

Updated X710-T2L OCP F/W Version is displayed on 1.3179.0 but recovered X710-T2L OCP F/W Version is 1.3256.0. what is difference?

i'm trying re-update using "-f" option, but displaying version is same. (1.3256.0)

i tried downgrade to 8.40, and update to 9.01 is version displayed 1.3179.0

i don't understand this situation.
