To roll back the application to a previous version, perform the following steps.
Create a manual backup of your existing cluster using the steps explained in the Upgrading Kyvos Manager and Kyvos section.
On the navigation pane, click Application Update > Rollback.
The Rollback page is displayed.
To roll back the application to a previous version, select one of the following from the Rollback list:
To rollback Kyvos Manager and Kyvos, click All Components. This is selected by default.
To rollback only Kyvos, click Kyvos from the list.
Click the Select rollback state link and the dialog box is displayed.
Use the dialog box to choose the state to which you want to roll back. You can use the search box to Search for a specific version, or view operation details by clicking the View Details link. The selected rollback version is displayed. You can change the rollback at any point in time by clicking the Change rollback state link.
The Kyvos Manager version compatible with the selected Kyvos rollback is displayed. You can also select the None option to modify the rollback state by providing the Kyvos Manager Bundle Path available on the Kyvos Manager node.
Note
If you select the Kyvos from the Rollback list, this will rollback only Kyvos.
The Backup Path path shows the path used for creating/restoring a backup of Kyvos states in case of Deploy Upgrade and Deploy Patch/Rollback operations. The backup path should be consistent across all the available systems. You can edit this path using the Change Backup Path option from the three-dots menu. Any backup created prior to changing the path remains unaffected and will continue to be available at the same location.
Click the Rollback Now button from the top-right of the page.
On the displayed confirmation message box, select the Start Kyvos Service checkbox to start the service automatically after rollback.
Enter your Kyvos Manager Password to confirm the rollback. Kyvos takes you to the Operations page followed by the Rollback Logs details page.
Info
After you have performed the Kyvos rollback operation, downgrade the Kyvos Manager to a compatible version of Kyvos.
Before starting the compatible version of Kyvos Manager, ensure that the Kyvos Manager repo folder specific to that version is being pointed.
For example, if you performed roll back from Kyvos Manager version 2022.1 (using repo folder) to version 2021.3 (which was renamed as repo_2021.3 at the time of upgrade), then you must ensure that the report folder from the 2021.3 version is being used.
