Revert to Snapshots after failed upgrade

Products

Issue/Introduction

Occasionally during an upgrade attempt a failure will occur.  Best practice is to have snapshots in place which you can quickly restore to.

Environment

VMware Aria Operations

Resolution

Note: If you will be engaging Broadcom VCF Support for assistance with the upgrade failure, collect a full support bundle including all Aria Operations nodes prior to reverting to the snapshots. Collecting diagnostic information from VMware Aria Operations
