Rolling back instances - BlueCat Address Manager

If you encounter any issues during upgrades or maintenance, you can revert your instance to the previous software version.

Run the set boot-version command to select the software version that you want BlueCat AWS Virtual Appliances BAM or BDDS to launch on the next boot of the server.

To rollback your instance to a previous software version, you must connect to your BlueCat appliance via SSH and run the set boot-version command from the command line interface.

After successfully connecting to your instances, you can now access the BlueCat AWS Virtual Appliances command-line interface using sudo su - admin.

To roll back your instance:

SSH to your BlueCat virtual appliance as an admin user.
From the Main Session mode, type configure system and press ENTER.
Type set boot-version and press ENTER.

Select the software version to load on your next system startup.

 1. BlueCat Networks (version Adonis 9.0.0-xxx.GA.bcn)
 2. BlueCat Networks (version Adonis 8.3.2-xxx.GA.bcn) [selected]
