Reverting an update
A server can be reverted to the previous version using the revert-update
tool.
About this task
The revert-update
tool accesses a log of file actions taken by the update
tool to put the filesystem back to its prior state. If multiple updates have been run, the revert-update
tool can be used multiple times to revert to each prior update sequentially. For example, the revert-update
command can be run to revert to the server’s previous state, then run again to return to its original state. The server is stopped during the revert-update process.
Reverting an update is not supported for upgrades to version 7.0 due to the topology backend changes. |
