Requirements; Rollback Procedure - Novell PLATESPIN ORCHESTRATE 2.0.2 - UPGARDE GUIDE 10-09-2009 Upgrade Manual

2.4.1 Requirements

This scenario requires that you have already installed the ZENworks Orchestrator 1.3 ISO. That is,
the 1.3 version of the Orchestrator Server should be running with exactly the same packages you
originally installed and configured.
The scenario also requires that you have a PlateSpin Orchestrate 2.0 ISO on hand. It is important
that you enable rollback through ZENworks Linux Management before you actually execute the
rollback. ZENworks Linux Management records the changes you make to the RPM database when
you enable rollback.
Rollback works only if you previously installed ZENworks Orchestrator packages using ZENworks
Linux Management. ZENworks Linux Management records data about each package that it installs,
deletes, or upgrades.
For more information about using ZENworks Linux Management for rollback, see
