ppciboot/linuxito Downgrade
This feature allows you to downgrade to previous versions of
ppciboot/linuxito. This feature makes downgrading easier for
sites that need to run a particular version. Downgrading to
versions earlier than 3.6.0 is not supported.
There are several issues to keep in mind while downgrading
ppciboot/linuxito.
You must default the configurations of units downgraded from
V4.0.0, as their configurations will not be maintained.
You must follow the specific procedure for downgrading
ppciboot (see "Downgrading ppciboot/linuxito").
Downgrading to pre-V3.6.0 versions is not supported due to
changes in the encryption of the ppciboot password prior to
this version. Downgrading to a version prior to V3.6.0 will
result in an RMA factory repair.
Mismatches between ppciboot and linuxito versions leads to
unpredictable behavior and is not supported. The ppciboot
and linuxito versions must be synchronized.
There is no mechanism to prevent you from downgrading to a
ppciboot or linuxito version that does not support the
hardware platform you are running. Downgrading to a
version of ppciboot or linuxito that does not support the
hardware platform will result in an RMA factory repair.
Downgrading ppciboot/linuxito
L Steps 1 and 14 are optional. If you skip them, the LX
comes up at the defaults and must be manually
reconfigured. You will need access to the DIAG port
on the LX to perform this procedure.
