Rolling Back a Running Configuration
You can roll back the current running configuration of a context to the previously checkpointed running
configuration.
Note This functionality on the DM requires that SSH is enabled on the appliance. Also, ensure that the ssh
key rsa 1024 force command is applied on the appliance.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts > admin context > System > Checkpoints.
The Checkpoints table appears.
Step 2 Choose the radio button to the left of the checkpoint that you wish to roll back, and click Rollback.
The ACE Appliance Device Manager displays a confirmation popup window to warn you about this
change and to instruct you that the rollback operation may take longer depending on the differences
detected between the two configurations.
Note The ACE Appliance Device Manager synchronizes the device after performing a rollback. This
synchronization may take some time.
