Uninstalling a patch release or software upgrade

Often a problem occurs because of a known product defect. Once the defect is fixed, you can install a patch release or software upgrade to fix the issue.

When you plan to install a patch release or software upgrade:

  • Before you start the installation, use the System> config export command to save a copy of your configuration. After the upgrade, you can use the System> config import command to restore your configuration.

    Example:

    System> config export local 2016_July_20
    System> config import local 2016_July_20 network

  • To upgrade with minimal downtime, you need to obtain a set of temporary VIP and IP addresses to use during the upgrade. Alternatively, you can upgrade without using temporary VIP and IP addresses, but the downtime increases.

For details on upgrading Access Appliance, refer to the Veritas Access Installation Guide.
