Rolling back changes to the Web Administration
When you upgrade the Web Administration, a backup copy is saved. You can use this backup to revert
to the previous version if there are any problems with the upgrade.
This procedure should be done via SSH after logging in as the root user.
To restore the previous version of the Web Administration, run the following commands:
1 service sysconf stop
2 service httpd stop
3
cd /opt/
4 mv skyboxwebadmin skyboxwebadmin_<date> (renames the current web administration
directory)
5
cp skyboxwebadmin_backup_<timestamp>/ skyboxwebadmin (copies the backup directory
to the skyboxwebadmin directory)
6
service sysconf start
7
service httpd start
