Best Way for downgrading an appliance in version 9.4.x

Your kidding.

 

 

 

I was surprised to find out that you can install a 9.x UCS on a 10.x slot. The older config format is converted to current 10.x syntax. This is not supported in 9.x though.

I wish I would have known that a 6 months ago. I upgraded one of my v9's and used the --nomoveconfig command to clear out the ASM Database. The instructions said "Warning: Do not use the --nomoveconfig option described in the following procedure on systems with existing, running installations of Application Security Manager. Doing so removes all content from the associated database." which is what I was after. That command actually took the config in the target partition and used it, reverting the device to its settings from so far back that I couldn't upgrade it back to v10 or to a version of v9 where I could use the config files I had backed up.

 

 

I had to blow it all away.

 

 

Note to everyone "--nomoveconfig" is evil.
