...

of 

Spacevars
0product
 (SBC) in the unlikely event that you encounter an issue with

...

your 

Spacevars

upgrade.

Note
titleBefore you begin

Prior to rolling back

...

your 

Spacevars
0product
upgrade, ensure that you have a backup of

...

your 

Spacevars
0product
data for the version you intend to

...

roll back to.

Warning
titleWarning: Restoring From A 3.1 or Higher Configuration Backup

Do not attempt to restore your version 3.0 or earlier 

Spacevars
0product
configuration from a backup made using version 3.1 or higher release.  Doing so will result in a complete user lockout and the system must be reset to factory default to recover. 

Warning
titleWarning

Downgrading a node that has a value license from release 

Spacevars
0product
6.1 to an earlier version is not allowed.

Performing the Rollback

Refer to the appropriate upgrade instructions below for your 

Spacevars
0product
hardware configuration:

Rollback SBC Edge with a Built-in ASM

(warning) The instructions in this section may be best coordinated with your Sonus service representative.

Similarly to upgrading, to ensure the

Spacevars
0company
 can communicate with the ASM, you must downgrade the 
Spacevars
0product
Communication Service before downgrading the 
Spacevars
0product
software.

  1. Remotely login to the ASM via Remote Desktop.
  2. Manually uninstall the current 
    Spacevars
    0product
    Communication Service from the Programs and Features via the Control Panel.
  3. From the Sonus SBC Edge Download Center, download the 
    Spacevars
    0product
    Communication Service     .zip file for the version that you are downgrading to.
  4. Open the .zip file and unpack it to a temporary folder. This will produce a Setup.msi file.
  5. Copy the Setup.msi onto a local folder directly onto the ASM.
  6. Launch the installer and proceed with the installation wizard.
  7. To ensure the 
    Spacevars
    0product
    Communication Service was properly updated, verify the Sonus SBC 1000/2000 Communication Service Version has changed to the intended version.
Note
titleImportant ASM Note

If you are downgrading from 2.0.x (or later) to → 1.3.x (or earlier), all disabled Network Adapters on the ASM must be enabled. This is because the 2.0.x (or later) upgrade disables one of the network adapters (by design), and it must be re-enabled if you're downgrading to 1.3.x (or earlier).

version stored in the inactive partition:

 

Performing the Rollback

 

The SBC SWe Lite keeps its system software (firmware) in containers known as Application Partitions. There are two application partitions, one of which is Active. When the SBC SWe Lite is operational, it is running off of the Active Partition, and the remaining (inactive) partition serves as a spare.

You can rollback to the previous SBC SWe Lite version stored in the inactive partition:

...

  1. To rollback the
    Spacevars
    0product
     software, simply
  1. activate the inactive partition.
  2. Verify that you are booting from the new partition either by checking the active partition, or

...

  1. by Viewing the Software Version and Hardware ID.
  2. Restore the backup configuration data

...

  1. associated with the 
    Spacevars
    0product
    version you have downgraded to.

This completes the rollback procedure.
