Uninstalling CPUSE-Gaia Deployment Agent via CLI

[Nas]

If we have installed DA but want to roll back to previous version. Is there a way to rollback via cli?

On webui , not seeing DA unistall option but only see the jumbo uninstall option.

DA was upgraded to latest by means of Cli and offline method.

There is an sk about it, cant recall the number now, but if you search cpuse in support center, Im pretty sure there is an explanation there.

CLI DA install is

rpm -Uhv --force CPda-00-00.i386.rpm

So no need to uninstall, just force it and reboot.

You can just force install the desired version?

[G_W_Albrecht]

Yes - using force, the old will be overwritten anyway, so it is not needed uninstall the other, newer before as the file name is always identical. Do you remember my CPUSE Deployment Agent install script ? You will have to  use the procedure from there (or directly from  sk92449) to stop and restart DA.

Only in theory you could use rpm:

# $DADIR/bin/dastop
# rpm -e CPda-00-00.i386.rpm

 ...but this will give you an error: package CPda-00-00.i386.rpm not installed

Is there any reason to uninstall  the Deployment Agent?

Notice that new packages usually requires new Deployment Agent as a pre-condition so you might find yourself blocked from installing new packages.

Boaz, no issues with it. Due to some company policies its required to demonstrate that we can roll back status of device how it was prior to any work done on that.
