I’ve got to failback an upgrade of SRM 5.0.2 to 5.0.1 due only one of the upgrades being successful at the protected and recovery sites so one is at 5.0.1 and one is at 5.0.2 and I need it all back working on the earlier version until I can resolve the issue. I’ve got a backup BAK file of the external SQL DB and I’ve snapshot the SRM VM before the upgrade.
The plan I thought would be:
- Shut down the upgraded SRM VM
- Rollback to before the upgrade
- On the SQL server, right click the DB select tasks and restore the DB from the BAK file
- Start the SRM VM back up
I’m concerned there will be issue with VCenter (5.0) though as surely the successful SRM upgrade would have made changes there also for example there is the updated SRM plug-in visible in the VI client and that would still be remaining surely if I performed the above action. Any thoughts?
