2 Upgrade all vShield Edge appliances that the upgraded vShield Manager manages.
Use the vShield Manager user interface to manage this upgrade.
NOTE If you use the vCloud Director Web console or REST API to reset a network that vShield Edge
protects, this upgrade occurs automatically. Using the vShield Manager user interface to manage the
vShield Edge provides better administrative control over the upgrade process and related network
downtime.
Reverting an Upgrade
To undo an upgrade and revert to a previous version of vCloud Director, you must stop vCloud Director
services, restore the vCloud Director database from backup media, uninstall vCloud Director on all members
of the server group, and install the previous vCloud Director version.
Procedure
1 Stop vCloud Director services on all servers to downgrade.
2 Restore the appropriate vCloud Director database by using database vendor tools.
3 Uninstall vCloud Director from all servers to downgrade.
4 Install the version of vCloud Director that matches the restored vCloud Director database.
