The SBC application revert from this release to the previous version is performed using the SBC EMA

with the following

prerequisites:

• The firmware is not reverted back to an earlier version because it is backward compatible with earlier

  Spacevars
  0 product

• versions.
  
• Any configurations performed after the upgrade will be lost after the Revert. Once the revert completes, the configuration rolls back to the

• time stamp in the 'Last Used' field.
  
• Once a revert is performed to a valid pre-6.0 SBC release, an upgrade to another pre-6.0 release is not supported. Upgrading to any other pre-6.0 releases requires the ConnexIP re-ISO installation. Refer to Re-Installing ConnexIP Operating System for SBC 5000 Series or Re-Installing ConnexIP Operating System for SBC 7000 Series for more information on ConnexIP re-ISO installation.
  

• Only the systems upgraded (offline or LSWU) can be reverted. The system can not be reverted to an older version when the server/system is ISOed or the SBC software is installed.
