If you want to revert to a previous version of Advanced Server/9000 (for example to go back to version A.03.04 from B.03.00), perform the following steps (at the HP-UX command prompt):

  1. Stop AS/U:

    net stop server

  2. Stop NetBIOS:

    nbutil -N stop

  3. Remove AS/U from your system by typing at the HP-UX command prompt:

    asu_rmv

    The asu_rmv program allows you to specify any AS/U configuration information you want to save or remove before re-installation.

    If you want to completely remove AS/U from your system (including all configuration information and user data stored under the AS/U product directories), also run the swremove command as follows:

    swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false ASU

  4. Remove NetBIOS from your system:

    swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false -x autoreboot=true RFC-NETBIOS

  5. Run swinstall as normal.

    If you are continuing to revert to a previous version (and you did not completely remove AS/U from your system earlier using swremove as in step 3), you need to do the following steps

    1. Pull down the Options menu.

    2. Select Change Options.

    3. Select Allow installation of lower version than current.

    This is necessary because the version of AS/U you are installing is earlier than that of the AS/U currently on your system. After these steps, proceed with installation as usual.

    NOTE: Before running asu_inst, you should now restore the contents of the /var/opt/asu/lanman and /etc/opt/asu/lanman directories that you saved before the B.*.* upgrade.
