In the unlikely event that there is a need to revert to a snapshot, keep in mind that the
ViPR database will be at the state it was in when the snapshot was taken.
Procedure
1. Connect using SSH to each ViPR controller VM and shut down with the halt
command.
2. Use vSphere Client to take a snapshot of each controller VM. Do not snapshot the
virtual machine's memory.
3. When the snapshots are complete, power up the ViPR controller vApp.
4. In the ViPR UI, look at the ViPR virtual appliance state in Admin > System > Dashboard.
When the state is Stable, you can proceed with the upgrade.
