Downgrading firmware virtual SmartZone

philip_francis1 — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:06:08 GMT

Hello, I have just deployed a new VM of virtual Smartzone using the ova with firmware 5.1.1.0.598.
However now I realise I also need a zone supporting firmware 3.6.2 due to some old AP models.
What are my options here to get a dual firmware virtual SmartZone server ?
Thank you kindly.
Does this mean I a going to have to start from scratch and re-deploy a new VM with a 3.6.2 ova ?

Yeah in order to get 3.6.2 (and old versions in general) you must’ve had it installed at one point. I just went through this procedure last night. I had to install 3.6.2 from OVA, then using the XIMG to upgrade to 5.1.1, then restore my cluster config from backup. Otherwise you won’t be able to choose 3.6.2 as a zone firmware.
