DLP-U431 Revert to Protect Load
Note
To perform a supported (non-service-affecting) reversion from Software R9.0, the release you want to
revert to must have been working at the time you activated to Software R9.0 on that node. Also, a
supported reversion automatically restores the node configuration at the time of the previous activation.
Thus, any configuration changes made after activation are lost when you revert the software. The
exception to this is when you have downloaded Software R9.0 a second time, to ensure that no actual
reversion to a previous load can take place. In the latter case, reversion occurs, but traffic is not affected
and there are no changes to the database.
