Common maintenance operations for this StoneGate appliance are
described below.
Reverting to Previously Installed Software Version
This procedure allows you to undo a software upgrade.
The appliance has two working partitions. One is designated as active
and the other as inactive. The inactive partition is used for upgrades and
the status is switched between the partitions when the upgrade is ready
to be activated. If the appliance does not start up with the new version,
it automatically switches to the previous configuration at the next
reboot. You can also switch back to the previously installed software
version manually as instructed here whenever necessary.
