Hi,

I am having a Cisco Firesight Management centre running on version 6.0.0.1

I want to downgrade the version to 5.4 version.

P.S : I am running version 6 on ESXi server along with package file of version6 on cisco ASA and version6 on Firepower Management cenre (on Esxi server)

I did not find any document for degrade path for the same. Kindly assist.

Thanks.

Hi Pratik,

There is'nt a way to downgrade the Firesight Management Center.

The only option to get to a lower version is to re-image the device.

If you are using the ESXi, you can either re-image or spin up a new one on the desired version.

Thanks,

Hello Pratik,

Compairing to version 5.4, 6.x. is better and stable and has several bugs fixed.

If at all you need to downgrade, only reimage is an option. Since you are using an virtual center, you have to re-deploy the image once again.

Rate if this post helps you.

every time you "Upgrade" (almost watch for this key word), there are NO ROLLBACKS.   Only on patching there are ROLLBACKS.   keep this in mind during a change window, and be prepare to re-image at the last minute.  Happy Day
