Uninstalling the Update

Uninstalling the Update from a Virtual Managed Device

The following procedure explains how to uninstall the Version 5.2.0.7 update from 

virtual managed devices. You cannot use a Defense Center to uninstall the 

update from a managed device.
Uninstalling the Version 5.2.0.7 update results in a device running Version 5.2.0.6. 

For information on uninstalling a previous version, refer to the release notes for 

that version.
Uninstalling the Version 5.2.0.7 update reboots the device. Virtual managed 

devices do not perform traffic inspection or related functions during the update. 

Depending on how your devices are configured and deployed, the update process 

may also affect traffic flow. For more information, see 

 on page 3.

To uninstall the update:

1. Read and understand 

 on page 15.

2. Log into the appliance’s shell using an account with Administrator privileges 

via the virtual console in the VMware vSphere Client. Note that you must type 

expert

 to display the shell prompt.

3. At the prompt, run the uninstallation as the root user, providing your 

password when prompted:

sudo install_update.pl /var/sf/updates/

update_name

Where 

update_name

 is the file name of the update you downloaded earlier.

The uninstallation process begins. When the uninstallation is complete, the 

appliance reboots.

If you encounter issues with the uninstallation, do not restart 

the uninstallation. Instead, contact Support.

4. After the uninstallation finishes, log into the managing Defense Center and 

select Devices > Device Management. Confirm that the device where you 

uninstalled the update has the correct software version: Version 5.2.0.6.

5. Verify that the appliances in your deployment are successfully communicating 

and that there are no issues reported by the health monitor.

Uninstalling the Version 5.2.0.7 update results in a Defense Center running 

Version 5.2.0.6. For information on uninstalling a previous version, refer to the
