When you are rolling back from Release 10.2.x to any previous release AE Services server, SMS RPMs are not downgraded to the previous release versions automatically. Use the following procedure to downgrade the SMS RPMs manually.

Procedure

  2. Run the following commands to get the release-id string of the aesvcs-sms rpm:
    cd /var/disk/rpms 
    ls | grep aesvcs-sms

    Single or multiple rows are displayed.

  3. Select the RPM release-id that matches with the current AE Services version.
  4. Run the following command with the release-id replaced with the text that you got from step 2:
    rpm -U --oldpackage --force /var/disk/rpms/aesvcs-sms-<release-id>-0.noarch.rpm --nodeps
